Keep it simple, do not add additional paperwork for them if it is not required!

That's me done!

Congrats!
"Keep it simple, do not add additional paperwork for them if it is not required! " Exactly. This is what i have been suggesting to everyone. That said, keep maximum documents with you.

• 12 Months’ Payslip
• 12 Months’ Bank Statement

Is it requirement to provide 12 months Payslips and 12 months bank statement? I am on Tier 2 (General).

Do they not only ask for latest 1 month bank statement with latest 1 month pay slip??

Thanks

You will have to check the paper work to see what is required of Tier 2. Since it is a sponsored category, you may need to provide them with more details from your employer etc.

Hi blu_4_2, did you pay the full application fee when booking the PEO online? Was trying to book an PEO at Glasglow but it seems I need to pay the full application fee when doing the online booking?

I didn't pay online as that wasn't an option when I booked in August. I paid the deposit over the phone and the remainder in person.

Hi,
I am applying for ILR completing 5 years under HSMP+Tier 1 (G) in a few days time. I am bit confused while filling SECTION 5 of the Set (o) form.

FYI: I have answered 5.1 to 5.5 as follows:

5.1 Is your home in the UK: YES

5.2 Do you or your partner, or both, pay any rent or mortgage for your home: YES

If so, how much do you pay each month: £ XXX

5.3 Are you working in the UK: YES

If so, what is your pay each month after income tax and other deductions: £ XXXX

5.4 Does a relative or friend of you or your partner, or both of you, regularly give you money: NO

5.5 Are you receiving any public funds: NO

After this Section 5.6 says:
Complete the following table indicating the sources and levels of income as indicated in 5.1 - 5.5 that you and your partner are relying on to adequately maintain you and any dependants.

Am I still required to fill section 5.6 for home and finances purpose when I filled 5.1 to 5.5 like above??

On Page 11 of the Set (o) form it says:
If you are unable to meet the appropriate rate of pay because you are on maternity, paternity or adoption leave you should answer questions 5.6, 5.7 and 5.8. If this does not apply to you, please go to section 6.

This is really confusing.
Kindly help me on this.

Many Thanks
