Please refer post http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=79378 Q30 onwards. It should answer your questions.

You also need accountant letter conforming salary paid, your share in company, you as director (if applicable). The letter should clearly say on which date payments were made along with gross and net salary and dividends. Just search the forum and you will get lot of posts having details about requi...

I agree with you guys. This is a shame few people are trying to make business from this.

Just imagine the scenario someone is running out of leave to remain and forced to send Postal application in the absence of available appointment. In my case my visa will be expiring soon and I am out of job at this moment. If I don't get visa early I may not be able to find job until I get visa (wh...

Just a thought. If UKBA retains old BRP, what original proof applicant has that he had the BRP?

I am asking this question because if someone relocates to some other country or applying for visa and is asked to provide previous immigration history.

If you are self employed and operating through your own limited company there is no need to have Class-2 NI contributions.

(3)- Proof of cohabitation; I do not have any bills/statements under joint name(s). Does it matter? We both have bank accounts with same address but under individual names.

IMHO this shouldn't be a problem provided you have enough cohabitation proofs in individual names.

You can call UKBA on helpline and check with them whether they have your application. They may require your details e.g. name, DOB, passport number etc.

What is your visa type?

I believe this requirement is NOT applicable for Tier-1 general visa. If you have Tier-2 visa then unemployment may be an issue.

Is there any particular reason why you want to show both to UKBA? I believe corporation tax letter is not mandatory and you can just highlight it in your bank statement. UKBA only want to know whether your company is paying taxes to HMRC (which indirectly gives idea about health of your company). Yo...

For Corporation tax I am not sure but your VAT may be due to rounding logic. Your accountant should be able to tell you about the reasonable explanation.

Alternatively, you can get corporation tax corrected in Director's report.

Just saw lots of appointments (at 11:16 AM) are available at Liverpool and Sheffield.

But suspect they are for single applicant only.

I hope this helps

This is just a civil dispute and not a criminal offence. You shouldn't worry about your ILR just because of this. btw, do you have inventory report when you checked in first time while renting that property? If there is no mention of these stained items you can dispute their presence itself. Also so...

congratulations Happyboy! You said caseworker calculated "gross salary and net dividends ". I was under impression gross dividend can be used as earnings. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong. Also did you (assuming you are company director) sign and stamped your salary slips? Th...

There is no such requirement. You should be fine.

@salman7777

If you are applying under Tier 1 General category you need to provide 12 months salary slips (unless fewer months can cover your earning requirements) along with other proofs.

3 months salary slips/bank statements are required for Tier 2 applicants.

UKBA will treat you as self employed. You need to have documents as per self employed requirements.

On Tier-1 as long as you can score necessary points it shouldn't be an issue.

or search using keyword "unemployed" in forum for help.

In my opinion you don't need to specify as compassionate reason.
I would simply say "family visit" as the reason for absence related to your child birth.

Thanks very much everyone for your response. I am feeling much better now.

This is because personal bank statement only shows the cheque deposit date and hence date of credit.

This practice is followed by at least HSBC and Lloyds TSB banks.

That's true because HSMP was your initial grant.

Hello Members, I have a question regarding date mismatch in business bank statement and personal bank statement regarding one dividend payment. Details are: 1. declared dividend of X amount on 21 Feb 2012 and issued cheque from business bank account on same day 2. dividend voucher is dated 21 Feb 20...

Congrats Saran for getting your ILR.

Good to see some one appreciating Croydon staff
