Re: Thanks for this! i was confused what to select too

Post by artfreak9 » Wed Jun 08, 2011 7:03 pm

Thanks !Son of Soil! for your comments! I will make sure i have as many payslips and bank statements that i can find. I think i might have 3 P60s out of the 5 yrs so i guess i can take those.

Also if i print out the payslips from the online portal (of my umbrella company) will i need to get them certified by my umbrella company? or will a letter from them stating im an employee with them suffice?

Thanks again,
Rohan...

If i was you , i would take ALL payslips and and atleast 6 months bank statements and they can take as many as they wants(normally 3 months).
According to me Documents should be:

Passport
SET (O)
Letter from Employer(may or may not be required, but good to have it)
Bank statement fot 6 months
Payslips for 6months
HSMP JR Policy document
P60s ( Should take all 5 , but i guess take as many you have)

Thanks
artfreak9 wrote:Hi Guys! thanks for this! this has cleared my doubts! I was also wondering like many on here as to which category i select. I fall under the JR rules as in pre Nov06.

So basically I dont need to give Life in the UK test, and only 3 months payslips and bankstatements should suffice..
Are there any other documents that you would recommend that i carry along...
So far I am thinking:

1) Passport
2) Application form SET(O)
3) 3 Months Bank statements (or do I need the last 12 months?)
4) 3 months payslips (I will have print outs from my umbrella company - as I have been working as a Freelancer for last 12 months)
5) P60 from umbrella company (Do I need previous P60s?)
6) Letters from umbrella company and recruitment agents company

If I may have missed out anything could anyone please point out..
It would be very helpful...

Thanks a lot,
Rohan...

I got my HSMP visa in Aug 2006, but now I canot find the inital HSMP approval letter now. some body mentioned they put this doucment in their document list and submit to caseworker, but my question is does this have to? I canot find that letter now. Can I use my VIASA as the evidence to prove I got HSMP beforre Nov 2006?
Thanks in advance.
was easy to book an appointment????
And is it any kind of risk tosend the application through post, rather then paying extra£500..

I am really concern now, as i was thinking tosend the application through post.

If u r married - HO need to see marraige certificate or civil partnership

Hi Geekhatri

So for married people, they dnt have to show 2 years worth document? m i right? if i am ,so why everyone is making this a big issue . I have chcked couple of post where they were asked to provide 2 years worth document even they fall under pre nov 2006 criteria. And moreover , HO staff told me about 2 year rules when i rang them last month.

This is all very confusing.

Hi,
Yes, I am confused too, but as we can see from that link, if we manage to provide the last 2 yrs proof to the HO, that will be fantastic, but if not, we can challenge them...
that's what i am thinking, as I am manage to provide for almost 18 months only...let's see how it goes...

guys, please share your experience .

thanks.

Hi All,

I have gone through the entire thread
Reading some post gave me mixed suggestions and for the people who contacted HO got various answers

I am due in oct to apply for settlement

I came to UK in oct 2006 – then my visa is called (Highly Skilled migrant)
Had and extension in oct 2008 – now visa is called Tier1 (highly skilled migrant)

Reading the latest form SETO /section3/B

Has got 2 options which are relevant to me (after reading the thread)

Tier 1 (General) Migrant applying under the terms of the HSMP Forum Judicial Review Policy Document

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... cialreview

Highly skilled migrant under the terms of HSMP ILR judicial review policy document

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... -09-policy


As some the members suggested to select the second option and some first ï

This is true people are giving two years cohabitation proof even if they fall under judicial review category. I contacted the home office, they said in case of JR , the two years cohabitation proof doesn't employ. So i dont know why people are still being asked to do so.
I think for any future JR ILR applicant, they should bring this notice to the caseworkers.

Please check page 16.
Does it mean that you can apply for ILR after 4 years if you have made your initial application ON or before 3rd April.
Before it was saying considering application made BEFORE 3rd April, but now i guess they will consider yr application if made ON and BEFORE 3rd April.

why 2 years for spouse?

Post by fora » Mon Jun 27, 2011 8:10 pm

Hi,Guys.
You wrote that the PEO asked you to prove that your wife lived with you for 2 years while you applied under HSMP JR policy. But it is stated that " the immigration status of dependants of migrants of the categories covered by this policy will follow that of the principal applicant." As I understand it is irrespective of the period of living together.My husband lives with me only one year.I am applying(HSMP pre Nov 2006) for ILR in October 2011(I include him). Does this mean that it can be a problem for my husband -only 1 year living together? Who knows?
Thank you

Wat i think that, there should not be any problem for you to get ILR but they might extend 1 yr visa for ur husband to make it for 2 yrs and they migt ask that ur husband has to apply for ILR once he completed 2 yrs...
---but this is my opinion!!!
y dont u give call to HO to confirm that...
