Hi All,

I am planning to carry the following documents, but will only submit if the CW specifically asks for these

• P60,P45 and Employment History
• Payslip and bank statement for the period of the absences

I am submitting the printed copies of the pay slip. Is that OK? I won't receive the physical pay slips. The pay slip will be uploaded to HR site in the PDF format and we need to print it if required.

Will CW ask for th original pay slips?


Many thanks

You need appointment letter and confirmation letter that you have paid 100 pounds for each applicant.

You don't need a cover letter in general and you don't need degree certificate for Tier 2 route.

It is advisable to get pay slips attested by employer. For tier 2 last three months pay slips are sufficient.

Thanks dk2011 for your valuable feedback.

I am taking the appointment letter and payment confirmation letter. I have attested the payslip by employer.
