Hi folks, Just read something about 'Releiving letter' - which needs to be submitted with ILR applications. Haven't heard this before. My scenario is this: 1. Got WorkPermit in Dec 2007 for Job A. 2. Tier 1 Visa issued in Sept 2008. 3. Left Job A in January 2009. 4. Started Job B in Feb 2009. left i...

The 'Releiving letter' you mentioned. Can you please elaborate what this is.
I had a work permit previously and now a Tier 1 visa. When I left my work permit related job - i need to show some sort of releiving letter for that job?

Thanks for the reply. Yes you are correct. The WP approval letter shud be ok to show for the period before T1G. Atleast that's what I have gathered from some similar posts on this site. I now have to find where it is !!! I have a few more queries: 1. How long it takes to order p60 for last 5 years(i...

Hi guys, I was just reading through SET(0) form. My ILR is due late next year. Currently tier 1 general visa holder. I have had Work Permit for a few months before I switched to Tier 1 general visa. My question is do i need to show any documents from the work permit time when i apply for ILR. In the...

age at time of previous application will be considered. so u shud get 10 points.

Tulipz,
I have recently paid with a natwest visa debit card in PEO. They had to phone my bank for the authorization.So its allowed.
AND cash is not allowed mode of payment anymore.

@malikjitin
From what I have seen in this forum- ppl have applied 2-3 months in advance thru post and got visa from date of expiry.
Applying in post early is diff from applying early in PEO. It really depends on the case worker.

@rohiktm: -reg bank statements it was 12 months transactions. They were 'as a whole' not month by month. My address and name mentioned only on the very first page. every page had my account number and bank logo. - I dint't submit the employer letter-I had it with me (as a backup) - but cw dint ask f...

@esharah, yes my visa was extended to september 2013(extension period June 2011-Sept 2013). If you are applying in post now, then it really shouldnt matter as its normal to apply 2-3 months from date of expiry thru post. @softlogic, thanks. As it states that salary slips should be stamped and signed...

@oraja_kumar-
i have recently paid with visa debit card in PEO. They asked for the authorization(phoned my bank) though.

Thanks to almighty Allah, my tier 1 general visa has been extended same day PEO croydon. Following is my experience- hope it will of use to anyone. 1. visa expiring in sept 2011 2. PEO app time 1030- arrived at 10:00. Thought wont make it due to morning traffic. 3. @1025, initial check done , given ...

Tier 1 general extension age points is based on your first application not your most recent. So you should be awarded 10 points.

Now one more question.
Is the UK tax period 1 April - 31 March or
6 April - 5 April.
Either way can I show it as a proof of earning for the period 1 April - 31 March.

Thanks. 1. I forgot to mention , in my case (as if by chance) I will be using the period 1 April 2010-31 March 2011. Which will be in line with the tax documents(due to it being for the same period) showing the amount I have claimed. The P60 shows the exact amount I am claiming. Also how do they mat...

hello, I have a few questions. 1. if I show P60 as proof of earning(along with bank statements). Would it be considered enough? I am asking as what contact details do I give for the p60 form(is it my employer?) 2. I read some where about this in this forum. I intend to use my Visa debit card for pay...

Phew .. ok.
So tier 1 general should be fine i guess.

What you mean by :

'..the number of Tier 1 (General) holders might/would be filtered down when it's time for an extension and when it's time for an ILR (as some people might not meet the requirements by then)..'

u making me nervous!

i am also on Tier 1 general. Due for extension. TBH I think these rules are for ppl who apply for a tier 2 visa(work permit visa) after april 2011. Atleast that's what I have understood from this site. Tier 1 general extensions should be ok for settlement. Whatever rules they introduce are always fo...

reading all this, tbh just wondering when they switch back to the old rules. they willl always want foreign skilled workers to do their work. any one for tier 14

thanks for the link mulderpf.
it has cleared my doubts reg the uk exp points.

Yes u r welcomed to apply in any of the PEOs. I can understand the frustration of not getting an appointment in croydon. Same thing happened with me. I nearly gave up but a friend advised to apply just after 9pm UK time as that's the time they refresh their database( though this may not be true..:-)...

ooops I just bumped into this: UK Work Experience with earnings of over 16,000 GBP - 5 points on the work permit.com site. http://www.workpermit.com/uk/uk-immigration-tier-system/tier-1/general-highly-skilled-migrants/points-calculator-tier1-extension.htm I guess then I can get the experience points...

Yes we both in the same boat! So fingers crossed.
Are you claiming points for UK experience? I assume you have UK job.
I cannot find anywhere guidelines for this or maybe its too simple.
Mods, seniors please advise.

Thanks malik. your post has helped in understanding the issue further. I guess my salary duration then do fall in the 15 months period(?), but am not sure about the pay date and tax period mentioned on my payslips. I am due to apply in a week. So any seniors plz advise. I have got the appointment , ...

hi all, I am due to apply for the tier 1 extension 1 through PEO. 1. My current visa expires in september 2011. I am applying through PEO next week. I intend to cover the period 1 april 2010 - 31 March 2011 for the 12/15 months salary duration. Now wouldn't it get pass the 15 months limit for me? Pl...
