Applying for 2nd time--please review my earnings evidence

[melimango]

Hi all,

I am applying for the second time and I really don't want to be refused again!

If you want my full refusal read here http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=12482, but to sum it up from Oct 05-Dec 05 I had a tax form and bank statements, Jan 06-March 06 final wage slip that showed the total amount (but not EACH wage slip individually) and bank statements, March 06-Oct 06 letter from employer and bank statements. But my bank statements were from online. When I got refused they said the bank statements weren't original, when I appealed they said the same thing plus I needed individual wage slips not just the final cumulative one.

Now I am using the 2006 calendar year so I have tax forms for both the job I worked Jan-March and the one I worked March-Dec. My problem is that I didn't save my wage slips (up until the new rules I did not qualify for HSMP, so I didn't know I'd be needing them). I ordered original bank statements from my bank, which I had them sign and stamp to be double sure. Should I submit just the tax forms and the bank statements? Cause I also have:

-the final wage slip from my Jan-March job and the final wage slip from my March-Dec job. I know it's not complete evidence since it's not each month's slip, but should I include it just to reassure the caseworker or will it cause confusion?

-a letter from my March-Dec employer stating my annual salary. However, the salary listed doesn't total what I actually earned in 2006, since I started in March and not Jan, and I received a bonus on top of my regular salary. Include it as reassurance, or will it confuse them?

-to make matters complicated, my bank statement doesn't list my company for the March-Dec job, it reads "some other name PAYROLL." I'm going to ask my work to write a letter that says "some other name PAYROLL" is what "my company's name" direct deposit payroll shows up on bank statements. This oddness makes me want to submit the other half-adequate evidence but I'm afraid it will confuse the caseworker.

Thanks so much!! The home office is of no help when I've tried to ask them these questions.

no advice?

Dear melimango

My honest advice would be to not take risk and request your employer (both past and present) to issue you monthly/bi-monthly/weekly salary slips. The consolidated slip you're talking about is rather a salary certificate which will be a bonus for your application. But don't risk your application by not following the guidelines.

About the bank statement, I beleive it will work if it is signed and stamped by the bank and yes, the salary deposit matches with the net salary mentioned in your salary slips. The transaction narration 'Payroll' is fine, but in my case the narration was 'Salary Transfer'.

I hope it helps.

Then there are two alternatives you can try. But some expert opinion should also be taken on these because these are just my thoughts and not some real life case that I've been through:

1) You can ask for permission from your office about re-generating the pay slips for yourself and then get them signed and stamped by your office authorities. But be careful with all the figures that you mentioned on them and do verify them very carefully.

2) Get a salary certificate from your employer which in addition to the other information should also mention that your company only provides consolidated pay slips which have aleady been provided to you.

Goodluck!
