I sent my documents yesterday. Same scenario. Myself + Wife + Kid.

I had the same set of documents. Only additional thing was, I had put them all in a file with many sections, numbered 1 to 10 and had a document map stuck to the top of the file as to what is in which section.

Eg : Section 1 : Covering Letter
Section 2 : Main application etc...

Not mandatory but will be helpful for the caseworker.

Thanks for the feedback. As you have already noted this, I shall try to include the latest statement until November end.

As per guidance, the earnings period assessment states the following

The applicant can claim points for previous earnings in any single, consecutive 12-month period during the 15 months immediately before the date of applying

So I thought that it would suffice!

Thanks for your response.. Was that a box file that you sent? if that is post, did you put the box file into a box or bubbled envelope?

Eg : Section 1 : Covering Letter
Section 2 : Main application etc...

Yes box file with documents arranged in transparent sleves are good way to arrange your documents.Also make your application look good and organised.

Also stress on important points of your application such as maintenance funds documents. Highlight in your cover letter that you are providing separate evidences for you and your dependents etc.

Yes, It was a file from Tesco which had 12 sections inside. I put the file in a bubble wrapped Royal Mail envelope (again from Tesco).

Together both were under 5 quid.

All the best.

Hi,

what is the processing time for the extension of HSMP/Tier 1 visa?

[galileo]

Hey guys,

i was reading that the payslips needed to be sealed by the employer. im applying from the US, is the sealing really necessary?

thanks

The HO Guidance says,

Where formal payslips are produced on plain paper, they MUST be stamped and signed by employer. Payslips which are not on headed paper or if the applicant receives all payslips online, he/she must authenticate the evidence by asking the employer to sign and stamp a printout.
