All the best.

Victory, I don't think Kiwi was insulting you, but simply to point out some inaccuracies in your post!

Let's all be considerate of others next time and word our statements in a more friendly tone.

I have, but with 8 payslips

There is no such thing...It's a typo, 'or' instead of 'of' is meant.

Swan, thanks for sharing your PEO Croydon experience. Having now read a number of ILR applications from different PEO offices, it would seem as though offices outside of London have many advantages to their London counterparts, namely (1) ease of getting an early appointment; (2) friendly and compet...

Not in person. What's there to see in Canberra anyway!

Just use registered post for your application.

I was merely pointing out the situation confronting the case worker. Since the (separate) bank statements for maintanance funds did not satisfy the 1 month restriction, the case worker used the alternative bank statements.

They will include a letter stating either acceptance or rejection, together with all your documents.

If accepted, further information will be provided regarding how to obtain an EC. This can be done in Canberra and must be completed within 6 months of the approval date.

"...for the 3 months immediately prior to the application being made" IMO HO has interpreted this statement correctly. If you had applied on 30 Jan and supplied bank statements up to 20 Jan, HO will confirm two things regarding maintenance fund requirements: 1. Is the latest bank statement...

A similar thing happened to me not long ago; though it was more to do with my bank cancelling my existing debig card at the exact day that I received my new card. I had assumed that both cards would work until expiration date! What you need to do is to send the documents back asap with a cover lette...

Yes. VISA debit card is accepted.

Maybe they have just returned from their holidays

I don't think the issue is whether restricting migrants within Tier 1 means re-categorising them as 'unskilled'. There is nothing wrong with restricting economic migrants based on the state of the economy. There are a number of options for the HO: 1. restrict tier-1 migrants by enforcing a stricter ...

Though I am surprised how the status changed from "Under Consideration" to "waiting for further consideration" and finally "under consideration" just in one day :!: My guess is they had a look at your application but couldn't be bothered (it's Monday!), so threw it bac...

Do you still have the original postal receipt? You will find printed on it the weight.
If you ask UKBA to return all documents with a similar packaging, it should come to about the same weight. Otherwise, its lost during transit, but not necessarily by UKBA.

Labour is taking a knee-jerk reaction based on the current state of the British economy. They are realising that quite a number of brits have emigrated abroad for a better lifestyle and better climes, but also that many more might want to do this for economic reasons now that the situation here is g...

Unless they are equating "contribution on behalf of employee to superannuation fund" with "pensions paid to the applicant". Not sure how this would show up on your pay slip, but I should imagine the gross amount to reflect your base salary (before contributions), which would be ...

I very much doubt that you can - but it could be a first?

You should be fine as long as they are both in your name.

Firstly, I operated my own superfund, so I know how it works; and secondly, a retiree is unlikely to apply under this category to enter the UK.

Unfortunately, the guidance note does not elaborate on the definition of 'money paid', but given that pensions are only ever PAID OUT to pensioners (ie. when you turn 60 or so), it is *unlikely* that is the sense of the statement.

1) Past Earnings Evidence: *Is an immigration officer most likely going to simply take the gross earnings as the final amount and simply overlook the superannuation contributions as by definition one would assume gross earnings is the total earnings! Please note Guidance (page 21, Item 111) - Unear...

Congrats. You've got both of them correct!
Extension apps should be a breeze - all the best!

LOL! That's why I keep coming back to this forum - you don't know what you might find!

I'm with aruni4470 on this one. The guidance specifically states that the offence must be a criminal conviction. In Oz, speeding within a certain range is not a criminal offence and you are simply asked to pay a fine (as in your case). However, if you were asked to appear at a court hearing and foun...
