Earning proof, Passport/visa stolen,3 mo paid in anothers ac

[DLAM]

Please help

Ok, I am applying for tier 1/general extension
Visa expires end of January

For me to make enough points to qualify for extension I have to show earnings over last 12 months.

the first month i came to UK my entire purse, wallet, passport and work visa were stolen

(1) was reported to police, and i have police report and crime reference number

(1A) I could NOT open a bank account in UK on copy of my work visa due to banking regulations. I could work in UK on copy of my work visa but not open an account...

(2) had to transfer TOC to biometric residence card, this process took roughly 3 months

(3) for 3 months my temporary employment wages were placed into my cousins bank account from the tempoary work vendor (weekly payment)
bc i could not open a bank ac in my name w. usa passport (took week to get) but only copy of UK work visa

(4) I have all my payslips, tax document and letter from employer/temp agency verifying they were placed into my cousins account

(5) bank statements from my cousin verifying all deposits. and a letter from him authorizing such deposits and acknowledging set up for 3 months in lieu of my passport stolen

(6) there is NO written guidance... and i know they 'tick the box' and can find almost any excuse to deny an extension.....

what should i do?

will they deny my extension bc 3 months of earnings are in another persons bank account and not mine?

what can i do??

the immigration advisor my employer hired said they dont know the answer. but they predict it will be an issue..

their only answer was taht they were going to send a 'query' to UKBA caseworker and would get an answer in 3-4 business days.....

Should i independently hire an immigration lawyer?

it is a simple legal question - will i be denied points for earnings when (1) my passport was stolen with work visa, (2)i could not open a bank ac in uk due to fsa regulation and (3) 3 months of earnings were deposited into another persons/my cousins account.

help help help

can this be any more stressful?

thanks so much!

dude

yes this can be more stressful

however

to answer your questions

no one cares that you lost your passport -- if you already had a valid leave then, and you have a copy of it even better, not an issue. you could work

however

that you could not open a bank account and why, isn't anyone's problem.
i do not have high hopes for salary being deposited into another person's bank account

but maybe it's possible to create a valid combination of income confirmation and leave your cousin out of the picture? I think people have in the past managed to prove income without bank statements.

have you red the guidance document carefully? there must be a way. like something from the employer and something from HMRC for instance

Hi there,

YOU ARE right, page 20 of 33 of policy guidance says ---> an official tax document produced by a tax authority that shows details of declarable taxable income on which tax has been paid or will be paid in a tax year (for example a tax refund letter or tax demand'

so i would go to the tax authority and ask for such a tax document covering the three months of earnings.

NOW.

(1) who is the tax authority here in the UK? in LOndon? do they have an o ffice anywhere?

(2) how would i go about getting this document from them?


you were right, its in the fine print, but now i have to figure out the tax authority here

thanks!

The tax authority in whole of the UK is HMRC. You can contact them directly by getting thier contact details from their website.
