Only absences from the UK count1. 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.
Yes- 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?
Everything is scanned only. NO original documents are sent2. 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.
P60 is NOT required3. 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.
Everything is scanned only. NO original documents are sent. Take all your documents to the appointment though. You should ignore what you read somewhere4. 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?
The date of submission online5. 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.
NO need for certifying it1. Does that mean I can just scan my payslips I printed with no certification needed from my employer or do they still need certifying as true copy first before I scan them?
Yes they can do that2. HR just has to list those dates spent outside the UK and to omit all my other annual leave dates that were spent in UK. Am I right?
If ur payslips are genuine than you have nothing to worry about.
That's absolutely fine. You don't really need HR to confirm it. Just list the days out of the UK and you are fine.PGTips wrote: ↑Tue Oct 01, 2019 2:54 pmThank you! I tried to get HR to only list out my absence dates from the UK but they wouldn't and came back to me with "As previously mentioned the company is not liable to confirm when you were outside of the UK on paid annual leave. We are only able to provide a list of all your absence dates." So in my absence letter, I have all of my annual leave dates listed including those which I've not left the country. Do you think that it would be alright? Thank you again!
They specifically state you should not provide more than 1 month worth of statements, the requirement is quite clear. I very much doubt it will affect your application, but it's unnecessary and just adds a burden on yourself to come up with extra paperwork that no one is asking for.devahere wrote: ↑Fri Oct 11, 2019 12:00 pmYes, that's correct but still, some provide the last 12 months payslips anyway. At the end of your application submission, you will get a list of all required documents which is normally last month's payslip and bank statement mainly. Also, I have been recommended to stamp the bank statement if it's an online version and didn't receive it through the post.
With the new system, evidence can be originals or copies except the passport only.lhrflyer wrote: ↑Fri Oct 11, 2019 2:38 pmThey specifically state you should not provide more than 1 month worth of statements, the requirement is quite clear.

If your bank statement is an online version, yes it must be stamped by the bank. What I did and what I find the easiest is to just request a paper statement to be posted to your home address.
Yes and these should be stamped by the relevant bank. A lot of online bank statements in pdf format by many banks are exactly same as are sent in post and in that case these should be fine as long as these are not pacifically marked as online.
