This afternoon the UKBA appears to have announced some changes to the PBS dependant form. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/newsarticles/pbs-new-forms-for-students "The UK Border Agency has published revised application forms for tier 4 of the points-based system (PBS) and for PBS d...
I have finally got a response to my email sent on the 24th Febuary: --- Dear Mr xxxxxxx, Thank you for your enquiry. Proposed changes to the requirements for Points Based System Tier 1 (General) and Tier 2 were announced by the Home Secretary recently, and are expected to come into effect for applic...
I just had my second application approved. The evidence of previous earnings I supplied were: Twelve months of payslips (stamped and signed by employer). Personal Tax Summary for the 2005-2006 tax year. A letter from IRD stating income for the 2006-2007 tax year to date. A letter from my employer co...
Just couriered my application off today (22/02/2007). Out of country application (New Zealand), claiming previous earnings for Feb06 - Jan07. Claiming a total of 95 points: Education (30), Previous Earnings (45) Age (20). Evidence: Original Degree Certificate (B.Eng, Massey University) Letter and Ce...
this is a grossly unfair case. are u applying for a review? I am sure, this is a strong review candidate. with a proper explanatory note, i am sure it has a high chance of a positive consideration when it goes to a new caseworker. infact in your first application , you shouldnt have included your p...
so , since one of the evidences (payslips) was not acceptable (no stamps/signatures), the other (valid) evidence (letter from company) was not considered, as they need 2 pieces of evidence to award points. No. The letter was not considered becuase they say that a company not having a company stamp ...
lysergik, about the alternative evidence you provided in the form of letter from employer confirming your salary: did the letter just mentioned your annual salary or did it have details such as total gross and net amount paid by the company for the earning period you are claiming points for? It out...
wow, that's pretty unfair. I really hope they accept my bank statements as it's impossible for me to get the pay slips. Yeah, tell me about it... but thats the kind of system we are dealing with. They will take your money and if they can invent any possible reason to fault you whatsoever, they will.
If it helps anyone, I submitted my request for reconsideration by fax on January 11. The decision letter was dated January 16. Then took another week for the letter to reach New Zealand.
Webhunter: The company I work for prints its payslips on a regular inkjet printer on plain A4 paper. Melimango: No there was nothing wrong with the letter. The exact text on the refusal on my request for reconsideration was: You stated an income of $XXXXX. You have supplied the two pieces of require...
I couldn't get my payslips stamped (due to no company stamp) so tried to send in my tax return and a letter from my employer. They refused to accept the letter as evidence and refused the application.
Refused Reason: "Your wage slips were on plain A4 paper and as per HSMP guidance are required to be endorsed with your employers signature and an official stamp. We note you claimed exceptional circumstances due to your company not possessing a company stamp but this was not considered an accep...
So I got the result of my appeal back today (I'll give them credit for at least processing that quite quickly). They stated: "We were unable to consider your wage slips as they were on plain A4 paper and as per HSMP guidance are required to be endorsed with your employers signature an official ...
I called the NZ IRD and asked them to send me out a letter stating my income for the tax year to date, which I sent in attached to my personal tax summary for the previous tax year. The HSMP team seemed to accept that. They however, did not accept my employer not having an official stamp as an accep...
I work for a small company that doesn't have a stamp, so I need to get one made up to stamp my wage slips with. Forgive my ignorance, I dont think I've ever seen a company stamp before. But does anybody know what features this stamp must have to be acceptable to the home office? ie: Company Logo? Co...
Hi sorry to hear ur rejection, but Somehow HO has some valid point to reject. As ur ITR were not covering the full year, u shud had provided the alternate proof covering 12 months. That cud be bank statements. To use Sal slips, u have to get them stamped and signed. :idea: Just to clarify things......

Not online print-outs. But yes, prepared by the accounts person on a regular printer and regular paper. The company just doesn't have an official stamp to stamp them with.
Okay, this seems absurd to me, but the beaurocrats at the home office rejected my HSMP application because my payslips were not stamped and signed. I had acknowledged this fact in my cover letter and explained that there was a letter from my employer enclosed in addition to the payslips. But I didn'...
