Can I send FPS after the submission

Post by seamsuk » Tue Jun 20, 2017 8:51 am

Hello Gurus and Guys

Thank you very much for putting so much information on this forum.

I submitted my Tier 1 Visa extension back in 30th Jan 2017 in the UK. Till now have been waiting for the decision for past 6 months. Phoned a number of times, always being told that your decision is still being considered.

by reading through this forum, I realised that I did not provide any FPS along with my application, but I indeed provided a great number of payslips, payment proof, a confirmation letter from my accountants to confirm the job creation, payments, and settled worker etc.


Now my question is:

Can I send FPS now to HO as supporting documents? or they would not accept them now as the submission was 6 month ago?

Although I did not provide FPS when I submitted the application, I had created up a spare sheet to clearly indicating that starting and finishing date of employees, hour rates, how many hours each week etc. would this helps?

Thank you in advance.

Consider yourself lucky that the case has not been decided yet. FPS is a definite requirement and the lack of the FPS submission almost certainly guarantees rejection.

Do not waste a minute. Get your FPS together and send it by Special Delivery (even same day, if needed) now.

There is no guarantee it will be considered but if it makes it way to the CW after all the internal processing before the CW actually starts considering your application, you have a good chance it will be considered.

What a quick reply. Thank you very much. I will get it organised and send today. But I think FTS is not mentioned on the guideline or maybe I am wrong.

Thank you very much for your comments. I have read through the guideline, yes, sending FPS is required. I actually sent a copy of a confirmation of real time submission and only one copy of FPS for the month of Nov/Dec 2016.

I just checked on the online portal, the status is "waiting for decision". Would it be too late send the additional supporting document?

I have phoned the service line, ( just be told they have changed the structure of organisation, they cannot disclose the status any more, neither to provide any case number for the application.) I was told that it is my decision to send additional supporting documents, but it will be 100% at CW's discretion to decide whether or not to link the supporting documents to the original application.

Thanks again....

dont wait for nothing.. just send these required documents and reference number i talking bout is the one which has been issued to you on ur acknowledgement letter. yes it is cw decision to consider it or not.. but it is your task to send it as soon as u realise that u have made a mistake. if i was you i would have sent it as soon as possible.

If I were in your place, I would get off the computer and this forum and go and send the documents by either courier or same day special delivery. Every minute counts in this case.

Make sure you check the start date of your employees on FPS. If possible highlight them.

Thanks guys for the comments. FPSs are now being sent. hopefully, the decision will not be made today....

some more questions,

1. Would HO contact to request more documents to be submitted when status is waiting for decision?

2. if the application is refused due to missing documents, can I request a AR and sending additional documents along with the request? or would it work?

3. If the application is refused, can I reapply by providing correct documents within the UK immediately as I am currently working in the business. I cannot leave the company running without me as I have to be responsible for my 9 employees.

Cheers

Good job ! :D
seamsuk wrote:some more questions,

Generally not. There are very specific cases in their guidance when they have to ask for additional documents. And if you have followed the comments in this forum, more often they don't
seamsuk wrote:2. if the application is refused due to missing documents, can I request a AR and sending additional documents along with the request? or would it work?
This is very clear. No additional documents for AR are accepted.

Yes, you can. Though you are an overstayer at that point in time and cannot be employed (i.e. draw salary)

Thank you Marcnath

I have received the visa successfully.

After sending the FPS documents to home office, the visa was granted within two week.

Thank you very much.

Congratulations - very happy for you !!

Looks like you got the documents in just in time - it would have been a definite refusal if those were not considered.

And this is a great case to confirm they do take additional documents even very close to the decision - so it will be useful for people in future. Thanks for updating.
