.WP + Tier1 + Tier1 extended. Total 5 years 6 months in the UK with 159 days absence.
Documents asked by the caseworker.
1. Letter from the employer
2. Payslips (12 months)
3. Bank statement (12 months)
4. LIUK
5. Now- the tricky part- P 60’s!
Caseworker specifically asked for 5 years P 60’s. I only had a P 60 for the year 2011. On my work permit, I was working for an Indian IT firm which was not paying tax through my NI, instead, there was some ‘group tax’ thing. Hence I did not have any P 60’s; however, I had the payslips for the work permit time. The payslips were just showing the net amount without mentioning tax paid.
I told the case worker I don’t have the P60’s and the guideline does not mention anything about the P60’s. She told me that I need to show proof of my employment during my workpermit time. I gave her some letters from the previous company and payslips. She checked the payslips (only last month payslip at WP before moving onto Tier1) and said that’s fine. So if you don’t have a P60, not to worry, but carry these along with you if they ask-
1. Payslips
2. Letter from the WP employer stating your duration and salary (This MUST be a recent dated one)
I found the PEO to be very friendly and polite provided you carry along the correct documents. Looks so simple in hindsight! Good luck!
