Also a grey area for me but what I did when I submitted mine was: using the average net income from the latest P60 and put a note to say so underneath.

I could you have started a separate thread but anyways... I need clarification generally about interpreting the caseworker guildelines in Appendix A at http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/policyandlaw/IDIs/idichapter6a/section1/section1.pdf?view=Binary: 1. How do you interpret 3...

for your case i.e.(WP+TIER1) is it the case that only each absence should not be > 90 days? What about the upper limit of 180 days? The 180 day limit applies to everyone applying for ILR, BUT it is the discretion of caseworker to relax the requirement if those leaves are work related and other comp...

hi Karloss12, To answer your question : "Did you resubmit your entire Tier1 paperwork from 3 years ago for this?"; yes I submitted Tier 1 paperwork but not for 3 years... I changed to Tier 1 only back in Nov 10 making it just 2 months out of 5 years. My WP actually covers 5 years (just!) b...

Document for No. 2. should include employer letter(s) confirming your employment with them during the qualifying period.

Hi xyz123, how will my employer know when I am out of the country or not? Sure they can confirm business visits, but they have no way to know if during vacation I was in UK or not. I can get letter from my current employer on business visits, but I had 2 previous employers and had a few business vi...

Yes, only the latest P60 or recent bank statements. I'm not sure what information they wanted to find though.

You will book just one slot for family. All members applying are to be logged when booking.

Thank you rajathwp. That was in Solihull. I think the review with me was no more than 20 mins. I was told to go back and collect the passports in 2 hrs but we took more than that taking the kids to Cadbury World

Very few questions were asked overall. The only question related to my absences asked was: "Can I see employer letter for these absences?" and comment "...large No. of absences here but you have the letter so should be ok". I had been pretty much most of the time in the UK in my ...

WP+Tier 1 Over 350 days absences, but none over 90 days. Mostly business & assignment. Continuous employment with same employer The following documents were submitted: Completed application form Passports Life in UK test pass certificate Employer letter confirming absences related to work Letter...

Hi,

Yes it makes sense to me and this is very similar case to mine. I just got ILR last week at a PEO and no proof of cohabitation was asked for. However I would still recommend you prepare them.

Unfortunately such allowances cannot be considered earnings for Tier 1 application. See Tier 1 (G) guidance Section 124. Dear Natita - Thanks for your response. Can you send me the link for Sec 124 you are quoting here. Utility allowance is very much part of my UK salary though. Sorry it should be ...

Unfortunately such allowances cannot be considered earnings for Tier 1 application. See Tier 1 (G) guidance Section 124.

I think statements you mentioned would be classified as "mini statements" which are not acceptable. See Guidance section 213. "Ad hoc bank statements printed on the bank’s letterhead/stationery are admissible as evidence ( this excludes mini-statements from cash points )." Kind...

Dear All, I have one query about 180 days restrictions for Tier 1 visa holders. My visa has started from Dec 2009(Tier 1 visa). I want to go to India for 190 days. I want to know that will it affect during extension of PR. I am pregnant and planning for delivery in India and I plan to be there for ...

I don't believe that there are restrictions on main applicant travelling abroad leaving dependants in the country. I am Main visa holder and currently on assignment abroad, my partner remains in UK, we have had no problems so far - except - the last time my partner returned to UK from visiting me, h...

My visa has started from Dec 2009(Tier 1 visa). I want to go to India for 190 days. I want to know that will it affect during extension of PR. Hi Sandeepak, I assume you meant to ask if that will affect application for ILR/PR, not extension of PR. As per guideline in the link Vinny posted, any abse...

I requested a statement from HSBC UK midway betwen regular statements (actually a week before the usual one) and they provided it without any issues. It might help to mention it is for a visa application. It might be worth calling back the call centre again and asking a different person the same qu...

If you don't mind, please also share us with pattern of your absences, max duration, total No of days, and when the qualifying period started.

Thank you and congratulations.

@ilr2011, thank you so much for sharing this. Congratulations on your ILR.

I'd like to know the same please.

Also, it sounded like the case worker made the decision without having to refer to another person, am I right?

Pay element on your payslips which is not subject to tax will most likely to be expense reimbursements - which doesn't constitute a taxable benefit and off course you can't use as earning for UKBA application. The fact that the tax was not deducted at payment does not mean the income is not subject...

I'm sorry to hear that. May I ask which PEO did you go to? And how many days of absence in total? I will have just over 350 days absence (mostly work), applying in 4 weeks. Apparently AmandaC has got her ILR with absences 435 days mostly work related. http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?p...

there is no tax paid on allowance. Although the taxable income is not always taxed at the time of payment, I find this is unusual as this allowance is paid through employer who has Pay as You Earn (PAYE) obligations. Having said that, I believe this allowance is taxable and can be rightly claimed f...
