Tier1_ILR_Applicant wrote:First of all congratulation! I am just curious about the following question:
Question: Please show me some proof that you had worked for your previous employers.
Answer : I have Original work permits.
Do you think they asked this question because you were on work permit? or was it to proof that you have been economically active for the last 5 years?

History :
Came to Uk in May 2006
WP (Valid for 1 year) + WP Extension (FLR for one year) + WP (valid for 60 months as changed company) + WP ( Valid for 24 months as I again changed company) + Tier 1
My wife had been out of UK for last 9 months. She landed in London on 23rd May 2011, appeared and passed 'Life in UK' test on 24th May 2011. I had booked an Appointment for 27th May 2011 at 08:30 AM at Croydon PEO.
Decided to drive to Crydon on 27th May morning, reached Croydon PEO at 9:10 AM (thats 70 mins Late, thx to london traffic). After initial screening I was asked to go to counter 2 for Application verification.
Person at counter asked for my application and went through few pages.
Question 1. Are you in Active employment.
Answer (me): Yes I am.
Question : Show me last 3 salary slips
Answer : I showed him salary slips for Jan 2011, + Feb 2011 +March 2011
Question: Can you show me latest Salary slip i.e. that of Month of April 2011.
Answer : No, am not carrying that as I have not included April 2011 as period for my earnings. I have included 1st April 2010 till 31st March 2011 as my period of 12 month of earning from last 15 months.
Question: This is not acceptable, you have to be economically active and I need to see an proof of that i.e. salary slip of April 2011.
Answer: I am economcally active sir. I can show you my currect employment contract. As per offical Guidence I can choose any 12 continuous months from last 15 months to show that Am economically active and need to show proof of only that. As I have selected my period from 1st April 2010 till 31st March 2011, I am carrying salary slips from March 2010 till March 2011.
Question : Sorry you need to show that you are economically active and you are not carrying any prof to show that.
Answer : I tried to explain to him that am on Tier -1 and what he is asking is requirment of Work permit holder. But after some argument I realised that he is not ready to listen to any valid argument, so I told him that am carring my Current account statement for April 2011 which shows my salary entry for April 2011.
Thankfully he was ready to accept that as a prrof that am economically active.
Question: Please show me some proof that you had worked for your previous employers.
Answer : I have Original work permits.
Question: That does not show that you actually worked for them.
Answer : I have salary slips from my previous employers.
Questions: Do you or your wife have any Traffic offences or other criminal convictions.
Answer : No sir.
Questions: Please show me Life in UK pass certificate
Answer : Provided him 'Life in Uk' pass certificate of myself and my wife.
After another 20 mins screening of my application he approved it and asked me to go to 1st floor for payment.
On 1st floor I payed by Card. Then was asked to wait till my Token no. is called.
Had to wait from 9:50AM till 10:50 AM. Only to be Told that I need to go to 2nd floor.
On 2nd floor I was face to face with case worker at 11:00 AM.
She could not understand whether I was self employed or working through Ltd. company. She asked me for my last 12 months salary slips and bank statments. She could not make any sense out of my bank statments. After my good explaination of each salary slip + Dividend vouchers in correlation to my saving accounts statment entries and after multiple trips to her senior officer, she accepted that my earings were as what I had filled in the form. She asked me for my current Contract. After some time she asked for LIfe in UK test pass certificate if Me + MY wife.
After few more questions and verifying every detail in my application, she said everything is fine sir. She did ask if I or my wife had any traffic offences or any criminal convictions. She took xerox of all my documents and asked me to collect my ILR ( + my wife + My son + my daughter ) after 1 hour from 1st floor.
Got my passport and ILR at 4:00 from 1st Floor.
I do like to say that it looks like some members of staff at Croydon PEO are not very well trained on new ILR rules in place for Tier -1 since 6th April 2011.
During this process did they ask you about time spent ouside UK? As i am out of since last 4 Months will this create problem during extension? How UKBA knows exit of people as they dont stamp passport on EXIT?Kumar99101 wrote:I do Like to thank to all contributors of this form and as my bit am sharing my Experience.

Any continuous stay more than three months would cause the problem while processing ILR unless it is employment related and employer gives supporting document for the same with the valid reason of the duration. Also during that time you will have to prove that you were economically active in UK. i.e were paid in UK and were paying NI and Income Tax in UK.alipa wrote: As i am out of since last 4 Months will this create problem during extension?
Please guide what if i show myself unemployed during that out period because we have to show only 1 year salary for Extension case?manyaonisland wrote:Any continuous stay more than three months would cause the problem while processing ILR unless it is employment related and employer gives supporting document for the same with the valid reason of the duration.

That would create further problems IMHO. which visa are you on at this moment. I had WP and it would definitely have been problem with WP. Anyone else with any other visa might have an opinion on this.alipa wrote:Please guide what if i show myself unemployed during that out period because we have to show only 1 year salary for Extension case?manyaonisland wrote:Any continuous stay more than three months would cause the problem while processing ILR unless it is employment related and employer gives supporting document for the same with the valid reason of the duration.

I am on Tier-1 (Migrant) for which extension i have to show employment for last 12 Months.So i think unemployment in initial 1 year will have no problem.manyaonisland wrote:That would create further problems IMHO. which visa are you on at this moment.

Hi,maximux79 wrote:Congratulations!
Did they ask or enquire about your wife's stay of 9 months away from UK?
Cheers
Hi,tier1_aspirant_del wrote:Congratulations Kumar99101.
Can you please what all documents did you submit for earnings? I am also a contractor operating from my own limited company and also getting a monthly salary along with dividends from my company.
Apart from other documents for earnings If you also submit salary slips and dividend vouchers then were it on plain paper and stamped/signed by your accountant (or you sign if yourself being a director)?
I would really appreciate if you can please help me to tell the documents required for earnings.
Thanks
