I am currently so confused and stressed up about my ILR application. I'm planning to submit my application in October. There isn't a specific and clear guideline, unlike in Tier 2 application. I read many different resources online and they all have different advises. I would really appreciate if you guys can advise me on the below:
1. Letter of Absences
- My HR is unable to state details of my absences. All they did in the letter was list out all of my annual leave dates. But I didn't leave the country on all of my annual leave dates.
Would the Home Office be just comparing the list of absences from UK that I've stated in my application form to the letter, and as long they match, it will be alright? OR
Does the letter need to only specify the absences which I've left the country? But HR wouldn't know what I do on my annual leave.
- Also, the dates they listed are dates that they input a holiday paycode on and doesn't take into account my regular days off.
So for eg. I don't work on Sundays and Fridays, so I flew out of the country on Sunday 15th of September and came back to the country on 19th of September. As I took the whole week off, the dates on the letter stated are Monday 16th Sept to Thurs 19th of September, and Saturday 21st of September. Would this be ok?
2. Payslips
- They are online now. Some resources said printed ones are alright as HO will compare that with the original bank statements that I have. Some resources said the printed copies have to be certified as true copy by HR and accompanied by a cover letter to say they are true and genuine. Which is correct?
Can my line manager certify that and do the cover letter? My company is a big company and the HR is in a totally different county, there's no way I can get the printed copies to them to get them certified.
3. P60
- Do we need P60 too? This is a Tier 2 to ILR route. From my understanding, only the payslips are required but I read one of the threads in this forum and someone mentioned about P60.
4. The application is online now. Do I post my original documents to them after I submit or all I need to do is bring the documents to the appointment? I also read somewhere that some people get 2 photocopies of each document certified by a solicitor. Is this necessary?
5. All documents have to be within a month. The within a month date is from the date I submit my application or the date of my appointment? If it's the latter, what if there's no earlier appointment dates? I won't be able to see what are available till I submit my application.
PLEASE HELP!!!
