4 weekly paid

Post by INLD » Wed Jun 06, 2018 3:17 pm

Hello everyone, I’m worried about our payslips,inspite of having a solicitor we weren’t suggested to send 7 payslips, now knowing our 6 payslips been issued after every 28 days only covering 5.5 months making me supremely stressed. I would really appreciate if i get comments from people who have applied with 6 payslips inspite of being paid 28 days. I really hope to hear from the experience moderators here..

Useful to state when your solicitor submitted the paperwork or applied?

Since the whole guideline regarding financial threshold is in months, therefore, weekly/2weekly/4weekly wages figures should be converted into months & years.

TB test expiry

Post by INLD » Wed Jul 18, 2018 10:37 pm

Experts please help me out , I’m going to be reapplying for my visa. I would like to know if I can use the same tb test for instance If I apply in August and my tb test expires in September is that ok? I have couple of more queries about bank statements. what transactions on bank statements should be explained? For instance if you have taken loan and loan amount reflects on your transaction do I need to explain that to HO? and What Statements would be considered authentic in their eyes ? Last time we submitted electronically stamped by bank those were printed in the bank on top of it we asked Barclays to stamp it but they refused to stamp. Can we include the electronically stamped statements again? If you know how can we ask the bank to write an official letter confirming the authenticity of the statements?

I think as long as the TB test is valid (unexpired) at the time of application it will be accepted. But TB test is also needed at airport while entering but never seen anyone being denied entry due to expired TB test. If you are fulfilling financial requirement through employment then HO won't care as what you paying/receiving except your job wages.
Online/electronically generated bank statements must be stamped by the bank. Mostly Barclays bank do stamp the statements but if one branch don't cooperate then go to other branch.

Estate agent letter

Post by INLD » Wed Jul 25, 2018 12:35 am

Do estate agent letter needs to be dated. It’s a letter from estate agent confirming that house has enough space for xyz number of adults. We obtained it in March for my previous application but we notice it’s not dated so can we use it again? also can someone please tell me how can I prevent ECO from overlooking the documents this time since last time inspite of sending payslips they only acknowledged 4. I don’t want this to happen again so how can this be prevented ? What happens with documents when they reach Sheffield, are they scanned? Please do let me know. Look forward for response. Thank you for your time

If you’re relying on any letter in your application as evidence it should be signed, dated and on an official letterhead of that organisation. The date should be within 28 days of your application being submitted.

For the payslips include a covering note and draw attention in your note that you are including six payslips covering months xyz.

Applying from India- online application

Post by INLD » Sun Jul 29, 2018 4:02 pm

Can I get signed and dated application form scanned at VFS on the day of biometrics and include a copy of application with supporting documents? That’s what we did for the last application, so I don’t have to courier internationally application to hubby. My supporting documents will be sent by my spouse. Its fine right? Please I would really appreciate your help and time. Hoping to get response soon

Its a good question. If it worked out previously then more likely it will be accepted this time too. In my opinion since the sponsor is allowed to fill spouse visa application then I think he should be allowed too to sign the printed application form on applicant behalf. It definitely saves time & cost of transporting the form to uk sponsor. Other members who practically did that should put light on it.

Really appreciate your response. I really need to be sure if my spouse can sign it or I can scan it at VFS and send a copy without being signed or dated. Still confused

you think they would wanna see the application form in wet ink? I was wondering if I could scan the form and send it in a pdf to my spouse to print it out.

Bank statements

Post by INLD » Wed Aug 01, 2018 1:44 am

We received the posted bank statements from Barclays but they are in black and white print out and includes a letter that states “these are duplicate statements” I wonder now if they are authentic or not?

Yes of course. Otherwise for extra peace of mind try to visit Barclays branch especially in posh area where in most occasions the bankers do understand things more faster and print the statements on original letterhead or at least officially stamp them. Barclay bank most often is very cooperative for this purpose.

Not necessarily so, I used to be with Barclays and live in a ‘posh’ area but the local branches were useless and refused to help. I had to travel to Croydon where I managed to get it done. From what I found and from others I know, bank branches near PSCs are more accommodating due to regular requests for this.

Barclays most often is very generous in printing out the officially acceptable bank statements in the branch. But few times around lunch/tea break time/closing time the staff don't help.

Thank you so much. Will try to do that. I have another question. Land registry and mortgage letter should be dated within 28 days as well? I dk how can you get them updated. It’s probably a silly question.

In general documents should not be more than 28 days old. I believe the guidance notes refers specifically to financial documents though such as the lastest payslip or bank statement rather than a title deed for example.

So you think they are fine ? I don’t understand how can you anyways get them updated. Because title deeds basically says who are the owners and mortgage letter says that mortgage was set up etc. Sorry for being such a pain. I have another query. I got to know my hubby lost his June payslip so he can now only get the print out payslip for June. Should he get his employer sign payslip and as well as the original ones because it might look weird only of the payslip is signed and also have the employer to write in employer letter they all are authentic? Also you think P60 is necessary? My hubby hasn’t been issued p60. Sorry about bombarding you with queries. Just in need of help and I appreciate your time. Thank you

If you want to include an official copy of your title deed you can request one from the land registry and the search will be dated when it’s printed and sent back to you.

For the missing payslip they should be able to issue a duplicate. If not, a letter confirming pay for that month on official stationery.

P60 is not mandatory, some people include it out of personal preference.
