What information are written in the surrender certificate? Name, date of birth, place of birth. Do they write Father, Mother and spouse name as well? My spouse name has a spelling mistake in my passport. So wondering where to put the correct spelling - the surrender form or the OCI application?

My company gave the P60 for 2011 on 27th April. It depends on the company how fast they can process the P60.
A letter from company with your salary figure will certainly help if you don't have the P60.

I did have all the P60s, but submitted the payslip from the WP period.My payslip showed the expenses + salary and hence I thought would be a better document. The caseworker returned back the payslip and didn't asked for the P60 for the first year.

You don't have to worry about the numbers. Only the letters should cover two years.

I have claimed no points for age. But strongly think that you will get the same point for age as you were awarded in your HSMP application.

I think they just want to double check your salary with a company letter. That is already their in my P60 but still she requested a letter from employer. I think you don't need to worry about your salary going up or down as long you are able to get point and pass the 75 mark requirement. The rules s...

I called the Child benefit helpline to check if I need to send the original passport of mine and my daughter. They informed me to send the original birth certificate and copies of home office documents by recorded delivery. They will contact me if they want to see any other documents.

If you qualify for indefinite leave to remain it may be best to apply sooner rather than later.

I am applying for ILR and I am also in the same situation. The rule says that your dependant partner can apply with you if they have lived 2 years in UK.
