Decision not made on the same day at PEO

[suresh.k.dasari]

Hi

I have booked for a same day service on September 05, 2012 in Cardiff PEO for ILR. I have put two combination of earnings. First 6 months earnings are from permanent job salary and the remaining 6 months earnings through a limited company.

I was told that as the immigration officer cannot make a same day decision, he has to decide if they can accept my documents to give me a decision in 5 working days else should I have to post the same.

I have managed to convince the immigration officer to accept my documents and tell me the decision in 5 working days.

I was told that the UKBA have to check my earnings by ringing the consultancies who have made me the payments.

I was just wondering what are the chances on the below:

1. Will I still get a decision tomorrow which completes 5 working days
2. How strong are the chances of a positive news?

I work through my limited company to different clients, but the agencies pay me rather than the clients I work for. The officer is not happy about that and he said he has to speak to the agencies who paid to my limited company business account.

Regards
Kumar

Suresh,

Almost all contractors are paid by their agencies into their limited company account. Pls don't worry too much about that.

What other documents did you submit to the CW?

Cheers

Hi Suresh,

The documents submitted is even more than required and I see no reason why the CW shouldn't make a decision.

Having said that you must understand that CW don't have the same level of experience (in your case the CW seems to be a junior CW). I wouldn't worry about it, with all the listed documents provided, you shouldn't have any problem.

Moreso they haven't asked you for additional documents. Please relax your mind, all is well.

Cheers

HI suresh,

why they didn't ring to agencies on the same day ? what was the reason ? what questions they ask regarding your earnings ?
oh u booked in cardiff. you should know from this forum that cardiff PEO doesn;t accept self-employed earnings.
i dont know how long it will take. see any one who applied in cardiff and his case was hold etc.
best of luck

I am not an expert but don't you think that you have submitted documents which may not have been required. I guess you have over done the application and have left the CW confused, but if you meet all the requirements, you shouldn't worry but just wait.

Hi Panther and Ryan

I really do not know that cardiff PEO does not accept self earning cases.

1. When I said that the reason for me to be at the PEO was 'Settlement', the very first response I got from the CW even without looking at the documents was that they cannot give me same day decision.

2. I was told by the CW that he has to refer my case to a specialist who can go through my documents in a span of ten minutes to let me know if they can accept my case to prcoess in '5' working days else I have to post the documents which might probably take upto 6 months.

3. After the specialist has gone through the documents, he was not happy as he has not got enough evidences to prove for my earnings.

4. However, finally when I provided with a copy of my contract papers received from the agencies he was convinced and have accepted my case to process in '5' working days.

5. As of today the '5' working days has been completed and have not received a phone or an email yet.

6. I am now wondering how long might my case take upto before I can hear from the CW.

Sorry to hear that SKD, but why don't you try contacting them probably after 7 - 10 working days. Other than that, you just have to wait.

[suresh.k.dasari]

I was thinking if I can go down to the PEO to check the status, but not sure if they will allow me just for general information.

I will still try and go down to the PEO.
