Hi, I've already got my Tier-1 (Gen) extended and now my wife and my son have an appointment at Croydon PEO next week.

Dividend was mentioned on the accountant's letter.

Yes, that's correct. HSBC Bank no longer stamps bank statement. A covering letter is fine. I went to the branch 3 days before my appointment.

Give entire set inlcuding covering letter to CW. They check everything.

Thanks.

Thanks for sharing this. I am in similar situation. However my client contract does not have my company's name, it is in my name.

Will it be a problem?

Thanks.

I booked my appointment last week using the new process. The new process is a lot better than the old. Earlier I spent 3 weeks staying up late at night and there was no luck. With the new process it is much better.
I think the success depends a lot on how you search your appointment.

All the best!!

Thanks a lot for clarifying this.

However I read a lot of posts where members were rejected due to insufficient documents like invoices, accountant letter and so on.

what was the outcome of your interview? how long did the case worker take to complete your application.

Thanks.
