Thanks ScopeD, so it means stamp is not necessary incase of letter if it is on company letterhead. Should I mention complete date for e.g. 30 Sep 2011 or Sep 2011 will workout.

Please advice.

Many thanks

It is not printed on plain A4 paper neither on company letterhead. It is on coloured paper which is used by company accountant.

If I ask for earning letter from my employer, will that needs to be stamped?

Please advice.

Many thanks

I asked my employer he doesn't have stamp for the company. Any alternate solution?

Hi,

I received payslips from my employer which are not in company letterhead but through registered account. I would like to ask if my employer sign them it would be enough or I have to get it stamped as well.

Many thanks

Thanks mk357. I will go for studies for sure then.

Thanks gordon, so it means I should be in continous employment to get ILR, other route can be to get self-employment till the time I complete my degree.

According to home office, you need to send atleast two supporting document for each income source. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/workingintheuk/tier1/general/supportingevidence/previousearnings/documents/#header2 So for part-time employment, two supporting documents can be: 1. Bank statement 2. ...

Please sure to send contract letter or evidence of contract, they are going to check with your contractor if they found anything suspicions.

Thanks for the news. I think there is no problem for ILR if I only need to show current extension salary criteria. By the time of ILR, I will have degree as well and it will give me more leverage means I can show lower salary as I will achieve more points in education. The only question remaining is...

Hi mk357,

Thanks very much, I will read the 'Guidance notes accopanied with the ILR application' and that is a good idea to submit application in last week and compensate few weeks. After then I will be eligible for ILR next time, if they put visa stamp date.

Best Regards

Hi, You need points at the end to apply for extensions. This is tricky that your employer will let you study full time while you are working full time. So if you opt for full time study, no salary points means if you need an extension, you can claim for salary points. Hope it explains. I am going to...

Thanks for the advice. I will check with uni, if there is any problem. I think Tier1 General allow you to do anything in UK but I will double check with uni.
