You have misunderstood. The continuous period is with regard to a period of 12 months. It is not with regard to continuous payment or even continuous employment over that period. So, for example, a man claiming aug to july (YOUR CHOSEN PERIOD) may have only worked some of the time (2 months at the ...

agreed with Rajesh9pl. It took 7 days (from the date of application) for HCI to renew my Indian passport last month. You have enough time anyway. Why don't you just renew it from HCI nearby.

If the money was paid to you at any time during the 12 month window you are claiming (regardless of when you took the the leave) it will be counted. It's the payment that matters rather than the actual event. So, for example, if you were owed holiday pay from a vacation taken 10 years ago, but was ...

If it was not paid within the 12 months it cannot be included. It was paid within the 12 months period (Aug'12 to July'13), but not in parallel with the working period. i.e holiday pay was paid after the contract was completed. (paid in march'13 when the contract was completd in jan'13) OR do you m...

Employer letter: stamp aswell??

Hi all

I need to obtain employer letter (as my absences are due to overseas assignment with that overseas employer). Does the letter needed to be stamped aswell? Or just a 'letterheaded' letter with the employer's signature will suffice?

yes UKBA has the right to question everyone.

I think this is just an exceptional case!!! the immgration officer might have mistook an ILR resident as a visitor maybe??? Or may be it's his/her first day on duty and was very enthusiastic?? could be any reason.
