If anyone found this thread and wondered what happened, I've got my latest statement showing my latest pay printed on a official HSBC letter headed paper. This was accepted by the home office. If anyone happen to be in a similar situation, ask the HSBC staff to print your statements on a HSBC letter...

The letter issued by the bank says your name, account number, date account was opened and the balance as of previous business day. I also asked them to print my latest bank statement, since I was unlikely to receive it by post before the appointment. First they printed it on a regular A4 in black an...

Hello All I have received my BRP yesterday and I wanted to thank all the members and moderators for their valuable support. It feels great to be among such a wonderful set of people.This is my experience. Appointment: 30th April BRP arrived : 17th May 1. Category. Tier 2 General 2. Number of depende...

Thanks for the reply. My issue is I have my appointment on 30th and my latest pay will be paid on 26th. My statements are produced on 26th. Therefore I may not receive the statement by post, before my appointment. Rebook your appointment which is free of charge before 48 hrs. I went to the HSBC bra...

Thanks for the reply. I'll receive this letter on Friday and my appointment is on Monday. I am not sure if I can cancel the appointment on Friday, if the letter is not good enough.

Thanks for the reply.

Hi All, Its common knowledge that HSBC do not stamp online statements, instead they offer to print them at the branch with an accompanying letter. Over the past two days I was searching to find out how these "branch printed" statements look like and what is the content of this "accomp...

Thanks for the reply.

My worry is will home office accept these "branch printed" statements as authentic statements?

Many thanks

Thanks for the reply. When I asked yesterday from my local HSBC branch, they were very clear that HSBC do not stamp statements. They said they can only print the statements from the branch with an accompanying letter. Just wanted to see of anyone had used these "branch printed" statements ...

Sorry for waking up an old thread. I am exactly in the same situation. ILR appointment - 30th April Salary paid - 26th April Bank Statements issued - 26th April I am not sure if I will receive the paper statement before 30th. Therefore I went to HSBC branch to check if they can stamp my statements a...

Thanks a lot Lanrezy. It is a good feeling knowing that there are people out there to help. Will keep you and rest of the forum members updated about how it went. Anyway, I'm long way from applying, currently preparing for the test. Hopefully try to submit the application before end of March.

Thanks a lot Lanrezy for your support. Sorry for missing out that information, your calculation is correct. At the bottom of my payslip it says, Payment Method NET PAY Bank 2170.38 So for the question 5.3, I'll put £ 2170.38 And I clearly misunderstood the question 5.4. I interpreted the question as...

Thank you both for helping me. My pay slip do not have the word "gross salary". Left column looks like this Pay Item This Period SALARY 3108.33 CCV SACRIFICE 243.00- SAL SAC PEN % 1 62.17- PAYMENT TOTAL 2803.16 Right column looks like this. Deduction Item This Period TAX 378.00 N.I. 254.78...

Many thanks for coming to rescue, much appreciated. My salary sacrifice is done before tax. In my January salary slip it says, Salary : 3108.00 CCV Sacrifice: 2430.00 Pension Sacrifice: 62.00 Payment: 616.00 In my February salary slip it says, Salary : 3108.00 CCV Sacrifice: 243.00 Pension Sacrifice...

Could someone please help, going into panic mode.
As always your help is much appreciated.

Many thanks for your reply

Hi All, I've have question regarding salary sacrifice in my payslip. Currently my salary is slightly above 35K limit. My employer lets us sacrifice £243 a month for childcare vouchers. However I forgot to do this at the start of the financial year. Anyway we can backdate it within a financial year, ...

Many thanks for the prompt reply.
One more question, please. If I apply for ILR with my current employer, will it restrict my chance to move to the new employer?

Hi All, I have a situation and not sure what is the process to follow. Currently I am eligible for ILR (have completed 5 years on a Tier 2 general visa). I have also received a job offer from another employer. What options do I have regarding ILR? Is my new employer can apply for my ILR based on the...

Thanks again for the quick reply. Was trying to save a bit (lot) of money. Well

Thanks. One more question, please.
When I have the British citizenship, does my wife has to get ILR and then British citizenship? Can't she go straight from her current visa to British citizenship?
Thanks.

Wow, thanks again. You are a life saver.

Again, many thanks for the quick reply. Is the following options are my best steps?

Myself - Apply for ILR now
Son - Apply for British citizenship
Wife - Apply for ILR in 2019 January
Myself - Apply for British citizenship in 2019 January
Wife - Apply for British citizenship in 2020 January

Many thanks for the quick reply. I forgot to mention, we all have Tier 2 until January 2019. If I apply for ILR now, what impact does it has on visas of my wife and son? For example, If I leave my current job after getting ILR, does that nullify their visa as the visas have been issued with my curre...

Hi All, I am a bit confused about the time requirement for the dependent of a Tier 2 for ILR application. Here is a my situation. Came to the UK in September 2008 on student visa and changed to Tier 2 in January 2013. My wife came to UK in September 2009 and change to Tier 2 dependent in January 201...
