Hi After the absence table, i mentioned that i was employed from date1 - date2 with 'Employer' as a permie, and that I had requested a letter from them about my absences, which they didnt have. To account for absences after my employment with 'Employer' (i.e when I went freelancing), i added a line ...

Hello all Would really appreciate a quick reply on below query: Situation: - Tier 1 General. Applying for ILR. Have spent 4 years 11 months in UK with 105 days absences (all personal vacations, none work related), and absences spread across my time. - Currently a freelancer. Requested ex employer fr...
No worries mate. If you are too bothered about making copies of all bank statements, just copy the ones for which you show your earnings evidence (i.e 12 months) as a backup.
Hi In my previous extensions (includes postal and PEO), I have never submitted copies of bank statements. Only the originals. They cross check the payments and promptly return the original statements. Copies would be relevant only for salary slips/dividends/invoices etc. They do retain the originals...

Hello all I attended the Visa extension appointment at Croydon PEO last week. I had paid the visa fees online, while booking an appointment. However, I did fill the payment details on application (card details/expiry/cvv etc). Remember to carry the payment confirmation page, for the appointment. It ...
sure. thanks lucapooka. i had used a covering letter in my previous postal applications (initial and 1st ext), although generally explaining the intent of application and briefly describing the documentary evidences submitted. just wanted to make sure that its not something which would be asked for ...
Hello A covering letter when you apply by post makes definite sense. If you are extending your visa by premium service/visiting the PEO, do you still need to take a covering letter along with your application? Will the case worker ask for it? Any pointers from people who had applied using the premiu...
In the same situation. Will be selecting the card option, fill in details and take a printout of the payment confirmation received by email. Will take another set of the payment details page printout from the application. If the CW suggests anything different, will fill that section at the appointme...

Hi, it is sufficient to submit the degree certificate alone (a friend submitted only this and none of the other certificates, he got his visa approved). when i had to mention the period of my degree course, there was a bit of confusion. I completed my engineering on may 30,2004. But the start date w...
