Hello,
I have got my PEO appointment in 2 weeks time.
My immigration history:
Date first arrived UK: 01/03/2009 on Tier 2 ICT
Absences: Year 1(2013-14) : 7 days, Year 2(2012-13): 48 days, Year 3(2011-12): 128 days, Year 4(2010-11): 82 days, Year 5(2009-10): 14 days
Please note on 1 occasion I have an absence continuously for 190 days but when calculated backwards from the date of application, it's less than 180 days in both the years as per the absence days provided above. I wasn't paid UK salary for this absence. However my Employer letter states this was a official trip.
I need help answering few questions on the form. Thanks in advance.
1) Page 4 - Payment Details - I have paid full amount while booking the appointment -
Am I right in saying I need not fill the payment details again?
2) Page 11 - Current rate of pay (hourly rate or annual salary) - I am planning to answer this with my annual salary. There is another questions "Number of hours this salary is based on".
Is this number of hours in a year? Also, there is another question "Number of weekly hours" for which I'll mention as 40.
So, what should be "Number of hours this salary is based on"
3) Page 15 - When did you last enter the UK?
I'm gonna answer this with a date from the recent trip outside UK. Please confirm if this is correct.
4) Page 18 - Do you or any dependants who are applying with you have any civil judgments against you or any civil penalty under the UK Immigration Acts?
Is over speed notice from Police considered as a civil penalty? I didn't pay any penalty but I attended speed awareness course.
5) Page 19 - how long have you lived in the UK?
Should this be 4 years 11 months? or 4 years 2 months based on a total absence of 279 days in the last 5 years.
6) Page 19 - Please provide details of any periods of absence of more than 6 months during that time.
Should I provide start date and end date for this even though I don't have 180 days absence in 1 year based on the backward calculation of continuous period.
7) Page 20 - You should tell us about any family, friends, or other connections with that country.
My Parents live in India, should I provide these details? Also, does providing these details have any impact on my application?
I will submit the following documents:
Appointment page ( which is email from UK Border agency with date and time of appointment)
Payment sheet
Form set (O)
Photo * 2
Passport
BRP
Life in UK
Letter from employee
Payslip (ONLY for January month)
Bank Statement - (Recent bank statement for 1 month)
UKBA immigration stamp print outs with date of UK entry stamps mentioned on the top of the page
Other documents which I have got but will submit only if asked for: P60s, HMRC employment history, Degree Certificate.
Am I missing any required documents? Do I need the below -
Personal Letter
Points calculator output (if yes, please provide the link)
cover letter to illustrate the split based on application date
I know there may be few obvious questions, but I have posted them here for confirmation.
Please help.
