Thanks for sharing your experience. So what if I just submit the letter and disclose the situation in my application? It's the truth anyway and they'll find out about it from my record. I definitely dont want to be considered deceptive nor do I ever intend to be. It would be ridiculous if I got banned for something I never did. It really is a terrible mistake. I should've made this clear with the manager but I could only be paid by the company in form of logged hours... So how did your application turn out?Yehia wrote: ↑Sun Aug 16, 2020 12:41 am
The worrying part is their suspecting deceptive behavior if they find your breach out and you declaring you haven't breached any conditions on your application. But I believe it is common sense that you shouldn't worry as such excess is too minimal to be taken as as factor jeopardizing your money, degree, years of study...etc.
From what you said earlier I assume you did not breach your visa conditions but the excess was all due to an error by your employer or the way your hours turned up on your payslips.sahim938 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 16, 2020 1:23 pmThanks for sharing your experience.

Yes I never worked above the limit but it's not really an error either it's just how our pay was counted -- the central company paid the wages looking at the hours put down in the system -- and the training hours had to be added to the next payslip cycle cuz I hadnt been logged into the system at the time when i first started.Yehia wrote: ↑Sun Aug 16, 2020 3:53 pm

I would personally advice against declaring that you had breached conditions as this wasn't actually the case. I would suggest that you copy/past the situation exactly as written in your original post along with your application documents. It's extremely unlikely they won't understand.
I haven't yet received a decision.
Hi could anyone share any information on this one? Still waiting for response
No. May I say that you appear to be over-thinking this. You did not breach your work conditions.

Your employer appears to have had a weird way of organising your pay, but that is nothing to do with the hours you worked in any week.
If it makes you feel better, by all means include the letter from your employer confirming that you always worked within your conditions.
If you want one-to-one advice, can I suggest that you contact the international student adviser at your university. The advice you have received seems more about helping you hide a breach of conditions, which is always a terrible idea, and totally unnecessary here because there has been no breach anyway.
If you do want to include a letter from the employer, make sure it is very clear that it says that it was their record keeping that was off, not your working hours. If the letter is vague and the tone is more suggesting that you did work more than 20 hours in any one week, but now you are sorry and won't do it again, that could be a problem. Don't let your employer throw you under the bus when you have done nothing wrong.
ah yes its really clear it lists the 2 weeks in question and says it was a mix up with my training hours and owed to me and confirms I "only works a max of 20 hrs". Just that it was only signed by the pub manager without official letterhead or stamp as it was produced by the branch manager not by the company. And its a photocopy he sent to me. Would this detriment the credibility of this letter? He did include contact details and address of the pub branchsah10406 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2020 11:29 am

You scan and upload the documents. There is no concept of an "original" scan, nor are original documents required anyway.
It's sad you claim the advice she was given suggests hiding a breach of condition then you give the exact same advice in different words.sah10406 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2020 9:41 amNo. May I say that you appear to be over-thinking this. You did not breach your work conditions.

I must have misread or misunderstood the advice given, so that's my mistake. For my part, I am not suggesting hiding anything simply because there is nothing to hide. If that was also the advice given previously, then that is my error for not seeing that.
