Hi, my appointment is on 7th Feb and I am in similar situation. WP for 1.5 years and then Tier1 (G).soneasharma wrote:Thank you petroeconomist!
I appreciate your quick response. I am so confused about the documentations required, even though it is a straight forward application.
So, is it just the form, photographs, passport, biometric id, Life in the UK pass notification, last 12 months payslip and last 12 months bank statement?
Do I again need to provide maintenance fund evidence? Is it worth hiring an immigration advisor?
And yes, all the best for your appointment!
P60s or tax statements for 5 years can be an evidence for the previous stay, although they can find it from your visa stamps. This is also advised in the FAQ in this site.iliko wrote:I am applying in person in Croydon on 7-th as well but this bit is unclear for me too. Is not visa on passport an evidence of previous stay?
I have just read following CHAPTER 6A SECTION 1 – SETTLEMENT – TIER 1 policy document which did not mention anyhing such that in the list of required evidences.

BTW it does not require evidence of cohabitation for the partner.
So we can successfully ignore it. Good luck to everyone.
In that case pay slip also can be used as evidence of previous stay. Yes you are right tknayak, although it says they require evidence of cohabitation for up to maximum 2 years which is said in SET (o)(in turn this is itself a duff statement, should have said minimum) the form is not a law so can not be enforced. Moreover a friend of mine got ILR yesterday and he have not been asked cohabitation evidence. On the other hand I agree it is save to have one rather than not to.tknayak wrote: P60s or tax statements for 5 years can be an evidence for the previous stay, although they can find it from your visa stamps.

You have to provide some evidence for cohabitation for past 2 years with your spouse. It is mentioned in SET(O) form in page 32.
Very good idea and infact I have asked for one a month ago and never received one then asked again a couple of days ago. Hopefully I will get it by 7-th of Feb.Daphne_ZA wrote:Another good source is requesting an Employment History from HMRC. It takes about a week to 10 days to arrive. (http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/faqs/nicqemp.htm#9)
Phone 0845 300 0627 (The options will be : 2 ; 3 ; 6). You will need to give them your National Insurance number, and then answer a few security questions.
Ask for an Employment History for the last 5 tax years, including the current year. Ask for this to be broken down according to the tax years. They will ask if you want it to include Pay, TAX, etc. It's up tp you if you want this info on there.
It's an official documentation, and it's a summarised version of your P60's. So, if you have any concerns about missing P60's, or having to find old payslips, this will be your solution.
I believe you still need to provide proof of maintenance fund to support section 5.tknayak wrote: Hi, my appointment is on 7th Feb and I am in similar situation. WP for 1.5 years and then Tier1 (G).
You do not need to provide maintenance fund evidence, that was a requirement for Tier1(G).
For straightforward applications, it is not worth spending money in hiring an advisor. Best is to avail same day service so that you can clarify anything, if required.
Received my HMRC letter today after second call. Never received the one sent on 20th of December. So guys do not wait the letter forever and re-request it after max 10 working days.iliko wrote: Very good idea and infact I have asked for one a month ago and never received one then asked again a couple of days ago.

We fall under the same category - My husband was on work permit for 1 and a half year (Feb 21 2007 - Sep 2008), and later Tier 1 (Sep 2008 - Till Date).. so our qualifying period of 5 years is partially on work permit.soneasharma wrote:Hello There,
I am applying for Settlement in UK using set(O) form. I am currently on Tier 1 (General) migrant visa. Prior to that I was on work permit for 1 and a half year, so my qualifying period of 5 years is partially on work permit.
My concern is the Document section of the form where my application falls under section 10L.
The form says -
10L Tier 1 (General) migrant If you are applying for indefinite leave to remain on completing 5 years’ continuous stay in the UK made up of leave as a Tier 1 (General) migrant and leave as a highly skilled migrant, work permit holder, innovator, self-employed lawyer or writer, composer or artist, in addition to the relevant documents in 10A, you must provide the following documents:
Evidence specified in section 9A of this form
For the period before you were granted leave as a Tier 1 (General) migrant, documents showing that you met the relevant requirements of the immigration rules.
What does the last statement of this section means? What document should I provide? Is it visa documentation for the work permit? or the bank statements or pay slips or tax forms for when I was on work permit?
Please help me identify the documentation they are after.
Kind Regards,
Sonia
I guess you are through with your ILR application. Can you please update us on how it went, and what was the proof for section 10L that you provided. Thank you.petroeconomist wrote:Helo Sonia,
I just filled up my application form for my next week appointment.
My case is also same as i was on WP for 2yrs and now on Tier-1 and applying for ILR.
You just checked box and show them the right Visa documents on your passport that would be enough.
Thats what i decided when i fill it up. We greatly welcomes other members opinion as it might help me as well.
As your current leave is under T1G you do not need any letter from employer.mmmalas wrote:I have simular problem:
I got my first work permit,
I got my second work permit from second company, however that is closed now. before the company closed I got Tier 1.
since then I am on Tier 1, and will apply next week or two.
do I need to provide emplyment letters, or will the p60 be enough?
regards
