I probably already know the answer given previous interactions with UK-whatiscustomerservice-BA but Is there any way at all to check the status of an application? Even if its just a "still processing" or "in the queue" status, just to check they're not waiting on me to do something so I know a lost ...

Took over a month to get my biometric letter. Very normal at the moment. Lo and Behold when I got home yesterday evening after panicking about the letter not arriving, it was sitting there waiting for me. Dated 41 days after they took payment. Also, got very confused by the email notification ...

Like I said, they took the money, so that's a pretty good indication they got it.

CR001 wrote:Every application you make requires biometric enrollment, so no, HO won't be 'just skipping it'.

So should I be concerned that I haven't received anything seemingly about twice as long as other people report?

Posted ILR SET(O) around 10/9/16 Money taken 14/9/16 Since then I've heard nothing at all, its been over a month? Is that normal? I understand they don't send confirmation letters any more but some people have mentioned confirmation emails but I haven't seen one of those. Also I haven't got a BRP ...

I'm still confused as to what to write down for question 6.1. Under 6.2 I've listed out all my holidays out of the UK for the past 5 years (no evidence supplied as I don't have such evidence, they're just holidays?). But then for 6.1 do I write down the date I first actually entered the UK (7.5 ...

Hi I arrived in the UK on 24/12/08 with Tier1 General. Extended twice over the course of the last 7+ years, now moving to ILR and have a few queries regarding the form. For starters I must say that the form is massively overly complicated due to having so many different routes mushed into one form ...

Just past 5 years from the date of application is sufficient, however there may be a question on why you didn't apply for ILR as soon as you completed 5 years. You probably have to justify this somehow, not sure how. Thanks, and thanks for the tip about why I didn't apply asap. Basically I didn't ...

Current form says this; 6.1 When did you (the main applicant) first enter the UK? This refers to the date of your first entry into the UK at the beginning of the period of stay on which this application is based. 6.2 Since then have you had any absences from the UK? If yes, give the dates you left ...

So I'm extending my Tier 1 (General) visa for the 2nd time. I have a same day appointment booked for the 17th and will be paying the extra £££ for this service at which I'll get my passport back on the same day. I'd like to travel to Germany on the 20th, returning on the 23rd. My current biometric pe ...

Yup, perfect. Exactly the same as what I had and they were fine; tier 1 general extension approved.

Watford High Street Barclays has NO issues or concerns when it comes to stamping and signing the statements Barclays sends out to you. They won't stamp the pages that just look like website printouts but they will stamp every page that has "endostar" on it as this is their backoffice system. Yay for ...

Hi Planning to include a letter from my accountant detailing my salary and dividend payments from my limited company to me as my earnings. Can anyone tell me how much detail does UKBA want on this? Does it just need to be a simple total summary so that the totals summed up from my bank statements ...

Hey I also have printed statement but not stamped. I have been to barclays branch and explained branch manager over there but she did not stamp after haggling for 30 minute. Now I am going for my appointment on 2nd August finger crossed. Let me know how you go mate. I rang UKBA and their phone rep ...

nfoote... people here are trying to help you. there is no point arguing with us. if you want to argue, why not pick the phone up and speak to UKBA. if you want help from people here then help them by answering the questions they ask Sorry, wasn't meaning to come across as argumentitive, just ...

What is a payslip? For example .... click here . But that is only an example, and the layout could be very different, but at least that example will give you an idea of the sorts of things that get mentioned on a UK payslip. Again, does your company have a Company Secretary? When you decide to take ...

What documents you must send You should also send any information or explanation of the documents you have sent that may help us to consider the earnings claimed. For example: If you are operating through a limited liability company that is administered on your behalf by a managing agent or ...

BUT can you see my point that nowhere in the guidance does it say anything to do with "HO needs to be shown that accounts for a certain person a authorized by someone in industry" Letter from your managing agent or accountant Yes ... this is the "Letter from Accountant" ... not "Payslips ...

I agree to Sushdmehta here. the HO needs to be shown that accounts for a certain person a authorized by someone in industry who is already certified, hence, an accountant Well I can provide the payroll instruction sheet the accountant gave me detailing how much I should be paying myself and how ...

No. Must be issued by a registered accountant. Huh wait what? The requirement does NOT anything about payslips being issued by an accountant!??? I know the "letter from accountant" confirming your total salary and dividend earnings for the period claimed must be from a registered accountant but ...

Reading the rules regarding previous earnings; Payslips: These should be either formal payslips or on company headed paper. Where formal payslips are produced on plain paper they must be stamped and signed by the employer. Payslips which are not on headed paper or if the applicant receives all pay ...

Thank you very much for your informative reply. So, to confirm, the accountant's services for accounting as well as for assistance in company formation is included in the 115 pm ? Also how much time does the whole process of company formation take? I am trying for contract jobs, and I am also ...

Any dividends vouchers for dividend payments you've issued, unless you're not drawing dividends from your company or you're not claiming any points for dividend income.

Also get your accountant to send you a signed letter detailing your salary and dividend totals for the period claimed.

I'm just wondering why they suggest £625 per month salary. I would suggest salary of £589 per month would be better, as it would avoid any Class 1 NIC being paid by you and the company. Really? My accountant set up a payroll of something like £800/month for me? At any rate, to the OP, as other pe ...

One uncertainty of being on Tier-1 visa is that there’s no guarantee that I’ll be successful in getting my visa extension (I got around 1.5 years left before I’ll need to apply for extension). In case of company formation, I’ve heard that it is a statutory obligation to retain company accoun ...
