does anybody knows, why they take so long between approval and stamping, as in Headley case?

headley wrote::D :D :D :D :D :D Good News all I got my docs just now. I just got home and saw a big brown envelop on my carpet. Guess what? No one signed for my docs. Royal mail just pushed it through the mail hole. No-one was home so I guess they figured because its a flat with a mail hole then it would be safe.

Here are my updated details. BTW Big thank you to everyone in the forum.

I have just read all the comments on ur case.

Lokesh said that u can not submit payslips and tax returns as both consider from the same source but how come these r from same source, payslips are from employer and tax returns stamped by the tax authorities with covering letter from tax authorities that applicant has paid that much tax in this year on the IT headed paper.
Yes employer submits the tax returns but to tax authorities and tax authorities confirms it by stamping and letter. and in Pakistan most of the times employee takes salary cash in hand and at the end of the tax year he submits his tax returns on his own by self assessment criteria. in any case tax returns are consider from tax authorities not from employer, coz u r paying tax to IT office not to employer.
so payslips and tax returns fulfill the evidence requirement.
and u can submit payslips along with tax returns if it corroborate the exact period u r claiming.

in ur case i think (my opinion) CW shud giv u points for 6 months from Jan04 to June04 because tax returns corroborate that period with payslips i dnt know about tax challans CW would consider it or not?if CW accepts challan as an evidence then well n gud but if GOD forbid CW doesnt accept that then

HO will consider 15 months period before u become full time student and they take any 12 consecutive months from these 15 months and earnings assessed on how much u earn in ur whole working period not per month and doesn't matter u earned in 12 months or in 6 months, if ur total earnings in six months are enough to get required points then it shud work, so u can show ur earnings from oct03, so if u call HO and discuss this with dem and send dem more three payslips for 0ct03, nov03 and dec03, and they already got ur tax returns for that period.

according to ur salary 55000/month

in 6 months = 330000 = GBP2870 (if in 2004 GBP1=Rs115) = which is equivalent to 15209GBP
so according to 6 months situation u cant get any point for previous earnings but
in 9 months = 495000 = GBP4304 (if in 2004 GBP1=Rs115) = which is equivalent to 22813GBP
according to 9 months earnings u can get 15 points.
so if these 15 points can take u to the total of 75 then dont waist a minute and fone HO and discuss this and send them three payslips with covering letter ASAP.

if these 15 points are not enough then leave all the things on ur luck and pray for the best.

leme explain wat i submited again...

i came here in january 2005 as a student and was working in pakistan before that. I submitted 12 moth salary slips from january04 to december 04. tax year in pakistan is june to july therefore submitted tax return from july03 to june04. it is covering only 6months jan04 to june04. for the rest of the months i have submitted tax challans for each months with official tax stamp from authority. these challans for each month shows the total gross salary and total tax deducted for each month.

kmore i can try to arrange a bank statment but it will take some time. my case might be allocated in one week time.
i have submitted explaination about the tax and salary for 12 months in excel sheet for caseworker's understanding. i understand it is a bit complexed but not very difficult for him to understand if he check it carefully and read my explaination in excel prinout...wat do u suggest kmore??? please comment

Thanks Vipul and chakde23.

Passport stamp says valid June 11 until 30th May.

If it was stamped June 11 that would mean I got it next day. Hm.......

They sent a another letter verifying my points but that one is dated May 30th.

Notty:-

Yes , you arte right.

Pay slips are from the employer n IT from Tax authority. So defently they are from different sources.


As far as Ammirmalik case is concern if he can manage his Bank statement, i think its Good 4 him ( in case CW contact him for supp. document).

Im not sure whether he can send now additional supporting document to BIA. If he can, so he have to make it( to avoid the risk). As we has seen the cases in april this Year,applicant got rejection on Tax document. so thats shows us BIA CW's need clear document.


Kind Regards,
Laskk

Re: urgent plz

Post by aamirmalik » Thu Jun 12, 2008 9:00 pm

dear kmore97 and sushdmehta!
i spoke to the guy in the homeoffice and he suggested me to send bank statment as well. He said my case might be refused. there fore i have called my bank in pakistan and they will send bank statment for the whole year. Should i ask them to send me 12 bank statments or they can send me one continous statment from JAN04 to DEC04.
kindly advice
Thanks alot for giving me great advice. I might save my case. it is waiting for allocation to the caseworker and it will be allocated in a week time.
kmore97 wrote:So the monthwise, break-up is totally ur declaration. Ur tax document doesn't indicate that. So as sushdmehta indicated, u'll consider urself lucky if approval comes.

As it's already too late to arrange bank statements - then probably you have no option but rely on ur luck and wait.

Please keep posted after u hear something from HO. Best of luck, meanwhile!

aamirmalik wrote:well kmore i believe you people are right. my case might be refused. your point is valid in this case. the tax return from july03 to june 04 gives total money earned during last 7 months but then i have given full detail in excel sheet
like gross salary in tax return july03 to june04 was Rs 702,000

in excel i have given all detail
year gross income tax deducted
july 03 RS 55,000 tax fig here#
aug 03 RS 55,000 #
sept03 RS 55,000 #
oct 03 RS 55,000 #
nov 03 RS 55,000 #
dec 03 RS 55,000 #

jan 04 RS 62,000 #
feb 04 RS 62,000 #
mar04 RS 62,000 #
apr 04 RS 62,000 #
may04 RS 62,000 #
jun 04 RS 62,000

total Rs 702,000

and explaination for rest of the 6 months exactly like this has been submitted along with documents.

Kmore and sushdmehta thank you realy for your replies....great help

im worried...if i get refused then ill arrange bank statments...but for now i will wait lets see. may be i get approval...but i believe chances r less as susdmehta assessment seems to be right

thanks u
kmore97 wrote:Aamir,
As I explained in my previous post, if CW is able to derive ur jan04-Dec04 figures from ur tax documents - u r safe.

I understand ur tax challan point. CW will be able to derive ur earning for jul04 to dec04. What about Jul03 - Jun04 tax return document? Is it extensive enuf for caseworker to find out ur earning from jan04 to jun04?
aamirmalik wrote:can anybody comment plz

leme explain wat i submited again...

i came here in january 2005 as a student and was working in pakistan before that. I submitted 12 moth salary slips from january04 to december 04. tax year in pakistan is june to july therefore submitted tax return from july03 to june04. it is covering only 6months jan04 to june04. for the rest of the months i have submitted tax challans for each months with official tax stamp from authority. these challans for each month shows the total gross salary and total tax deducted for each month.

kmore i can try to arrange a bank statment but it will take some time. my case might be allocated in one week time.
i have submitted explaination about the tax and salary for 12 months in excel sheet for caseworker's understanding. i understand it is a bit complexed but not very difficult for him to understand if he check it carefully and read my explaination in excel prinout...wat do u suggest kmore??? please comment

yes u r right that p60 is considered from employer because ur employer pay ur tax to authorities n p60 is evidence from employer that he paid all the tax, so tax authorities r not involve in it it is directly from employer and if u have tax refund letter from UK tax authorities then it would b from separate source.
but in pakistan if ur employer is paying ur tax then employer submits the tax returns to tax authorities and gives u the statement of tax(just like p60) and if u need tax returns u can take attested copy of tax returns from tax authorities with confirmation letter on headed paper of tax authorities and incase u were taking cash in hand salary then u have to submit ur tax on self assessment basis in self assessment there is no involvement of employer.

and could u plz tell me about those cases which r refused becoz of tax documents, did CW mention that u haven't provided two evidences from separate source.
may b in those cases tax returns didnt reflect the exact period which they r claiming for. just like amirs case his tax returns is not reflecting the exact period.
i foned HO and asked that u r considering payslips and tax documents r from same source or it fulfills the requirement then they said yes it fulfills the requirement if it corroborate exact period and it is mention in policy guidance as well.

• a document generated by a tax authority, which shows
details of declarable taxable income on which tax has been
paid or is to be paid in a tax year (e.g. tax refund letter or
demand);
• a document generated by an employer for the purposes
of an official return to a tax authority, showing details of
earnings on which tax has been paid in a tax year (e.g. P60
in the UK);
• a document generated by an individual/business/company
for the purposes of an official return to a tax authority,
showing details of earnings on which tax has been paid /to
be paid in a tax year that has been ‘approved/registered/
stamped’ by the tax authority (this is particularly relevant to
some overseas tax systems e.g. SARAL in India).
Please note that whilst tax documents are included in the list
of acceptable documentation, they will rarely be of use. This
is because tax documents are usually produced at the end of a
fi xed tax period and will therefore not show the entire period for
which the applicant is claiming previous earnings unless they
exactly mirror the period claimed. Applicants should therefore
be cautious about using such documentation unless they are
satisfi ed that that it details the exact amount of earnings for
which they are claiming points.


tell me about those cases what r the reasons of refusal.it may increase my knowledge. coz sometimes Ho said something else n facts r something else. i experienced that by foning HO, two three times i foned n asked that for self employed person within company structure u consider gross income or net profit then they said gross income, gross income, gross income but in guidance policy it is clearly mention that points should b given on net profit then i called again n asked again he said again that on gross income then i sadi plz open the policy then after reading policy he was saying yes its not on gross income its on net profit.
so plz tell me about those cases which r refused on tax documents, what r the reasons of rejection mention there.

and if somebody has applied under self employment within a Business/Company Structure criteria then plz share information with me. i need some information on self employment evidences.


vipul1981 wrote:notty dont say with so much confidence that tax returns and payslips are not from same source.

They very well can be from same source. for instance in UK, tax return form P6o is considered as same source as pay slips. Although tax is pais to tax office.

2ndly in Amirs case, his application does look quite vague.

My advice to him is to keep the bank statements ready, just incase he needs it.

Its not about right or wrong , point here is to convince the CW. It has been seen in recent past that many applicants have been declined because of this.

Im not sure whether he can send now additional supporting document to BIA. If he can, so he have to make it( to avoid the risk). As we has seen the cases in april this Year,applicant got rejection on Tax document. so thats shows us BIA CW's need clear document.

Lokesh said that u can not submit payslips and tax returns as both consider from the same source but how come these r from same source, payslips are from employer and tax returns stamped by the tax authorities with covering letter from tax authorities that applicant has paid that much tax in this year on the IT headed paper.
Yes employer submits the tax returns but to tax authorities and tax authorities confirms it by stamping and letter. and in Pakistan most of the times employee takes salary cash in hand and at the end of the tax year he submits his tax returns on his own by self assessment criteria. in any case tax returns are consider from tax authorities not from employer, coz u r paying tax to IT office not to employer.
so payslips and tax returns fulfill the evidence requirement.
and u can submit payslips along with tax returns if it corroborate the exact period u r claiming.

in ur case i think (my opinion) CW shud giv u points for 6 months from Jan04 to June04 because tax returns corroborate that period with payslips i dnt know about tax challans CW would consider it or not?if CW accepts challan as an evidence then well n gud but if GOD forbid CW doesnt accept that then

HO will consider 15 months period before u become full time student and they take any 12 consecutive months from these 15 months and earnings assessed on how much u earn in ur whole working period not per month and doesn't matter u earned in 12 months or in 6 months, if ur total earnings in six months are enough to get required points then it shud work, so u can show ur earnings from oct03, so if u call HO and discuss this with dem and send dem more three payslips for 0ct03, nov03 and dec03, and they already got ur tax returns for that period.

according to ur salary 55000/month

in 6 months = 330000 = GBP2870 (if in 2004 GBP1=Rs115) = which is equivalent to 15209GBP
so according to 6 months situation u cant get any point for previous earnings but
in 9 months = 495000 = GBP4304 (if in 2004 GBP1=Rs115) = which is equivalent to 22813GBP
according to 9 months earnings u can get 15 points.
so if these 15 points can take u to the total of 75 then dont waist a minute and fone HO and discuss this and send them three payslips with covering letter ASAP.

if these 15 points are not enough then leave all the things on ur luck and pray for the best.

Hi Ammir, Notty

Ammir:-
Just want to say you tat about urs point 4-6 (tax return). one of my friend has been rejected because of this same document.

He submitted the April03 to March 04 for the months jan04 to march 04. The reason for his rejection clearly shows me that in capability of CW. He/She said that the earning my frnd claim is not as the tax preiod document. But which is not correct. The above tax document clearly covers his earning period jan04 to march o4.

As i said in earlier post that BIA CW's need clear documents(sum member of this forum also said that it is highly difficult to convience the CW on the two tax documents), i mean to say you might be also in a risk as urs tax document was started before yours earning and you are providing them two tax documents. so this might take you in a risk. i don't want u to dispress!
(':roll:')

So do urs best to bring Bank statement. and fax/post ASAP. single minutes conts in urs situation( don't forget that).

Wait and see the others members advices as well.

Hi vipul,

I have faxed the HO for urgent treatment with a copy of my tickets. However when I called up the HO yesterday, they said they are not considering urgent treatment. But this was a general statement. He didn't look into my case to make this statement.

I gathered my 1.5 years old bank statements being in UK within 1 week. It's true they will not entertain anyone apart from a/c holder.

Follow these steps
1. Call the branch manager and explain him ur case. He may say - he wud need 2-3 days as the statements are too old. Tell him u'll authorise ur relative to collect the statements.
2. Send him an email with formal request. Fax will do as well.
3. Send an authorisation letter to your relative to collect those statements from branch on ur behalf.
4. After 2 days, call bank, check status - do follow up.
5. When it's ready ur relative can collect and courier to u.

Act first.

HO will consider 15 months period before u become full time student and they take any 12 consecutive months from these 15 months and earnings assessed on how much u earn in ur whole working period not per month and doesn't matter u earned in 12 months or in 6 months, if ur total earnings in six months are enough to get required points then it shud work, so u can show ur earnings from oct03, so if u call HO and discuss this with dem and send dem more three payslips for 0ct03, nov03 and dec03, and they already got ur tax returns for that period.

according to ur salary 55000/month

in 6 months = 330000 = GBP2870 (if in 2004 GBP1=Rs115) = which is equivalent to 15209GBP
so according to 6 months situation u cant get any point for previous earnings but
in 9 months = 495000 = GBP4304 (if in 2004 GBP1=Rs115) = which is equivalent to 22813GBP
according to 9 months earnings u can get 15 points.
so if these 15 points can take u to the total of 75 then dont waist a minute and fone HO and discuss this and send them three payslips with covering letter ASAP.

if these 15 points are not enough then leave all the things on ur luck and pray for the best.

i foned HO and asked that u r considering payslips and tax documents r from same source or it fulfills the requirement then they said yes it fulfills the requirement if it corroborate exact period and it is mention in policy guidance as well.
tell me about those cases what r the reasons of refusal.it may increase my knowledge. coz sometimes HO said something else n facts r something else. i experienced that by foning HO, two three times i foned n asked that for self employed person within company structure u consider gross income or net profit then they said gross income, gross income, gross income but in guidance policy it is clearly mention that points should b given on net profit then i called again n asked again he said again that on gross income then i said plz open the policy then after reading policy he was saying yes its not on gross income its on net profit.
so plz tell me about those cases which r refused on tax documents, what r the reasons of rejection mention there.

Yes , you arte right.

Pay slips are from the employer n IT from Tax authority. So defently they are from different sources.


As far as Ammirmalik case is concern if he can manage his Bank statement, i think its Good 4 him ( in case CW contact him for supp. document).

Im not sure whether he can send now additional supporting document to BIA. If he can, so he have to make it( to avoid the risk). As we has seen the cases in april this Year,applicant got rejection on Tax document. so thats shows us BIA CW's need clear document.


Kind Regards,

Lokesh said that u can not submit payslips and tax returns as both consider from the same source but how come these r from same source, payslips are from employer and tax returns stamped by the tax authorities with covering letter from tax authorities that applicant has paid that much tax in this year on the IT headed paper.
Yes employer submits the tax returns but to tax authorities and tax authorities confirms it by stamping and letter. and in Pakistan most of the times employee takes salary cash in hand and at the end of the tax year he submits his tax returns on his own by self assessment criteria. in any case tax returns are consider from tax authorities not from employer, coz u r paying tax to IT office not to employer.
so payslips and tax returns fulfill the evidence requirement.
and u can submit payslips along with tax returns if it corroborate the exact period u r claiming.

in ur case i think (my opinion) CW shud giv u points for 6 months from Jan04 to June04 because tax returns corroborate that period with payslips i dnt know about tax challans CW would consider it or not?if CW accepts challan as an evidence then well n gud but if GOD forbid CW doesnt accept that then

HO will consider 15 months period before u become full time student and they take any 12 consecutive months from these 15 months and earnings assessed on how much u earn in ur whole working period not per month and doesn't matter u earned in 12 months or in 6 months, if ur total earnings in six months are enough to get required points then it shud work, so u can show ur earnings from oct03, so if u call HO and discuss this with dem and send dem more three payslips for 0ct03, nov03 and dec03, and they already got ur tax returns for that period.

according to ur salary 55000/month

in 6 months = 330000 = GBP2870 (if in 2004 GBP1=Rs115) = which is equivalent to 15209GBP
so according to 6 months situation u cant get any point for previous earnings but
in 9 months = 495000 = GBP4304 (if in 2004 GBP1=Rs115) = which is equivalent to 22813GBP
according to 9 months earnings u can get 15 points.
so if these 15 points can take u to the total of 75 then dont waist a minute and fone HO and discuss this and send them three payslips with covering letter ASAP.

if these 15 points are not enough then leave all the things on ur luck and pray for the best.

Hi All,

Well today is my day :) !!

My wife called up to tell me that I have received the docs today with the approval.

These are the sequence of events -

1. WP -> T1 app submitted on 7th May. (main + 1 dependant)

2. Ref number allocated on 8th May.

3. Fax urgent treatment request with tickets on 11 late evening.

4. Called HO on 12th morning to check. First he checked if my docs were dispatched. But they were not. So I got the feeling that it should be all done waiting for dispatch. But he refused to give any progress updates. I asked "are you considering my fax" to which he generally replied, "there is no urgent treatment available for T1".

5. On 12th afternoon got a mail from HO - "According to our systems, your application has now been considered and your documents will be despatched by recorded delivery shortly,hopefully today."

6. Passports with +ve results received on 13. I will have the passports with me later today and will post all details.

I think my passports were all ready, but the urgent treatment had cut out some delays that were observed in stamping and posting.

-H
