You can carry all those documents as a backup and submit if only asked for. I was not asked a single document for my wife. The only proof was the joint bank a/c stmt. And yes originals, no copies. All the best ! Ahh yes , sorry forgot last 3 wage slips , and yes my wife is applying as my dependant o...

I got my ILR on 15 March, at PEO croydon. It was a SET (O) appln, with one dependent under WP + Tier1 category. I arrived early at 08:10am for a 09:00am appt. they told me to wait till 08:30am. They checked the appt. letter or the SMS confirmng the date/time of the appt. After the initial security c...

You also need to provide salary slips for atleast last 3 months. You KOL pass certification letter. You need to provide all original documents. No copies. They will make copy themselves if required. They will return all original documents except letters which have been addressed to them eg. Employer...

Who is listed in your P60 as employer ? and which company name is mentioned in your salary slip ? That company is your employer. The different agencies you work for are your company's clients and not your employer. I believe you have signed a contract with the umbrella company and not the agencies d...

My bank: Citibank does not print the statements in the branch. But he asked me to get a internet printout. He then cross-checked the statements with their online accounting system. He has stamped and signed on each and every page of the statement. I hope this is enough. I have all my statements exce...

Your case is indeed very interesting! The answer to your query is: If you change from Tier1 to WP dependent, then WP dependent rules will be applicable, which is favorable for you! And if you again switch back to Tier1 dependent then again it requires you to be 2 years in UK which means you wont be ...

Congratulations! You have applied under which category ? I have my appt next week and was also worried about the delays.. good to hear that your application was processed same day ! I was expecting long delays today and to my surprise there were slight delays. The whole process (premium) was straigh...

1. Correct. You can take a PEO appt. between 05/06/11 to 12/06/11. 2. If your appln is straight forward, then YES. 3. Yes Date of Entry into UK - 04-07-2006 (on work permit) Joined work - 07-07-2006. Moved to Tier-1 after little less than 2 years of WP. Tier-1 visa valid till - 12-06-2011 My questio...

1. No. It cannot be included as you are applying in a new category on your own. 2. ILR clock will start from Apr 2006 when you came to UK with WP. (The date of landing in UK is important not the date when your visa was stamped). 3. ILR rules will change in July 2011. See http://www.ukba.homeoffice.g...

1. Yes after she gets FLR. 2. You should apply for extension (FLR) first as the gap in entering UK is more than 28 days. 3. Date of entry in UK. (They expect the applicant to travel within 28 days after granting visa.) Check this: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/settlement/ "Please do not sen...

For ILR under Tier1 category, you need to show that you were economically active in UK. Looking for job is also considered to be economically active. Keep all proofs of job application and interview appt. letters. (pass/rejects). Register with consultants and if possible get letters from them as wel...

I believe it should be fine then. Were you paid for all 315 days in UK. If yes, then provide these proofs in the form of payslip, P60, bank stmts, etc. A good letter from you employer explaining the business visit, sal. payment in Uk, permanent UK employee during the visit, etc should help to streng...

Is it possible to get a reference letter from your current employer? Also try to get a duplicate Feb sal. slip, they require the last 3 months sal. slips atleast and you might be in a difficult situation explaining this missing sal. slip to the caseworker, if asked. Although I feel that you should g...

180 days in 5 years and 90 continuous days of absence anytime within the 5 years. 315 days in 5 years is not acceptable as per UKBA guidelines unless it was done for official business purposes and you were paid full salary in UK during that time. Hi, I m here in a work permit, comming to time to app...

Were you employed in India (Oct 06 to Mar 07) during your absence for medical emergencies? If yes, you would also need to show proof of the same from your employer in India stating that you had medical emergencies, alongwith other supporting proofs already mentioned. I applied for my 1st HSMP and go...

Did you new employer not ask for a P45 ? Did your new employer applied for a separate WP? hi all, Recently got an appointment under 5 years work permit but with a change of employer and i have the initial wp letter and wen i changed the wp to current employer along with all the p 60s and the relevan...

I personally don't think the gap of continuous 136 days will help you, even if you get a letter from employer. The employer though has sent you on a official visit has not paid you in UK. (No NI/Tax paid in UK). So IMHO, unfortunately the chances of getting ILR are very grim. Please consult solicito...

If you are applying in-person, address it to the concerned PEO. And yes you can improve on the English and customize the letter as much as you want. The crux is the content of the letter should not be compromised. Also, Should the address be the Durham one irrespective of which center one is applyin...

1. No 2. My opinion is don't apply for your wife with your application. Don't risk your application and 1000+ fees. 3. She have to apply for Further leave to remain on FLR(M) form as a dependent of a settled person in UK. 4. Apply for FLR(M) 5. If your employer can provide letter stating that you we...

Unfortunately, its a continuous absence of more than 90 days! And as you do not have any income proofs to show during this period, IMHO it difficult to get ILR. Please contact a lawyer and get their opinion as well. Hi, I have HSMP , by last April i qualiify for ILR according to Judical review. But ...
