My ILR application along with 2 dependents (spouse + kid) was approved. I would like to thank moderators of this forum and all contributing members. This forum had been an immense help for me right from my HSMP application, then tier1 extn and now ILR. My Details below for the benefit of others. HSM...

Sorry sushdmehta if I did not make my question clear. Before I called HMRC, I thought the additional 13.25£ I am liable to pay. But from my conversation with HMRC I understand it is not mandatory, but I can pay that additional amount and make 2007-2008 tax year counted as qualifying year for basic s...

Thanks sushdmehta. The company had deducted 397.26£ for tax year 2007-2008. But since I earned only for Feb2008 and March2008 months the amount was not enough to make that year counted for state pension. I called HMRC and they confirmed it is up to me to pay that amount or nor. It is not illegal for...

Since I did not have P60 for all 5 years, I asked for HMRC for employment history letter. They have instead sent me National insurance record. In that it says I still need to pay 13.25£ for the tax year 2007-2008 to make that count a qualifying year. I started working in UK only from Feb 2008, so fo...

I have a question regarding previous earnings. My company awarded 100 shares for all it's employees 3 years ago. Employees were allowed to sell it 3 years later. I sold mine and got X amount credited as part of salary. My Feb 2012 salary slip shows like this basic pay - xxxx £ share (OPT GAIN) - xxx...

Thanks a lot sushdmehta (& others as well) for the clarifications. I am more confident with my preparation now. I will try calling HRMC again.

My employer stopped giving P60 hard copies for past 2 years. When requested, they said print it out online. Don't know if it is acceptable for my ILR application. I read in this forum about getting Employment history from HMRC as replacement for P60. But when I called they they said, they can give o...

And congrats on your ILR success!!!

Thanks a lot rasinrdj.

I am hoping they won't ask for those missing months.

Hi rasinrdj
I plan to apply at Croydon PEO.

I am not sure Adojay... The Set O form simply says provide co-hab docs for spouse or civil partner. ---- If you have a spouse or civil partner listed in section 2 of this application form who is applying at the same time as you, please provide documentary evidence of cohabitation since you were last...

It is already running on rolling agreement with 2 months notice on either side, so it won't be renewed. I can end it and start a new one.

Hi wpilr_nov12 No my wife is not working and no letter from GP on these months. If I get letter from GP that she is registered from June2008 and letter from council on being in electoral list from 2008, will that help. Anyone has used such letters as cohabitation? I don't know what else I have overl...

Thanks wpilr_nov12. My worry was not whether I had joint letters/bills. Actually I don't have anything addressed to my wife name (joint or individual) for the months of dec2010, Jan, Feb 2011. If it was for only 1 month I wouldn't have worried so much. Requirement does say the docs have to be spread...

I came to UK in 2008 and rented a house (1BHK) and my wife joined me couple of months later. When the rental agreement was signed, I had only my name on it. When my wife later arrived, I didn't bother to add her in the agreement as I thought it was not necessary. Now I am applying for my PR, I wante...

I plan to apply for ILR by Dec 2012. My wife (& also my child) is also applying with me. Following are the dates of her visa HSMP dependent visa granted - 9 May 2008. Entered UK - 31 May 2008 Switched to tier 1 dependent when I applied my HSMP -> Tier 1 extension - 27Dec2009. Tier 1 dependent visa e...

Thanks Rockwell31 that is really helpful. Hope I can book one on Sunday night.

Thanks rockwell31 for your reply. I did manage to see slots on 7th of dec early thing morning (00:30~). But before I could book connection went off. Since Dec 8 & 9 are sat & sunday, when will Dec 10 appointment made available, oct 27? am I correct?

I wanted to book peo appointment on first week of December. So logged in to UK BA site last night. God! it was difficult to get through. The site was mostly down from 00.00 to 01.00. But I just got though once and to my surprise three appointments were available on 3rd Dec 2012. As per http://www.ti...

Thanks Zahid for your reply. Very comforting to know that I haven't misunderstood the rule. But this may imply that any one who arrived within 3 months of EC date, can simply apply for ILR 28 days before their 5th anniversary of EC date. 5 year calculation based on first entry date probably never ap...

My HSMP visa stamped (EC) start date - 27-Dec2007 Entered UK on 25-Jan2008 Tier 1 extension from 27Dec2009 granted till 27Dec2012. I know many people have already discussed in the forum about late entry and many have even successfully got ILR due to late entry. But there is grey area (also discussed...

Congratulations!

So can you please tell us what did you mention in the application? Did you mention whether your wife was outside UK for 6 months? Or you just used UK documents only?

Thank you very much for confirming.
