2. If they "count the period between entry clearance being granted and the date the applicant entered the UK towards the 5 years", then your qualifying period started from Friday, 14 September 2007. 28 days prior to the completion of your qualifying period is Friday, 17 August 2012 . However, "prov...

It is not specific to HSBC but this is more to do with CC providers fraud protection measures where they tend to block the payment over certain amount in single transaction. So it is better to call them in advance and inform then about the date and payment you expect to go though so that they can ma...

Thank you so much.

When I was handed down the passport it was accompanied by a letter which stated my passport was handed back with my visa stay extended. Earlier I think applicants would be given a letter stating explicity that Indefinite Leave was granted but not anymore. All the best to rest !!!! But did you check...

I understand it is okay at the moment so long as he does not leave and re-enter the county. Correct. Also, n...

My company gave the P60 for 2011 on 27th April. It depends on the company how fast they can process the P60. A letter from company with your salary figure will certainly help if you don't have the P60. I see what you mean.. I am speaking to accounts for getting my P60 so thanks for letting me know....

I did have all the P60s, but submitted the payslip from the WP period.My payslip showed the expenses + salary and hence I thought would be a better document. The caseworker returned back the payslip and didn't asked for the P60 for the first year. you said you have 5 P60. But i am not sure how have...

you said you have 5 P60 did you get the p60 for year ended on 5th Apr 2011? as it will be out only by end of this month. I am struggling with this as i do not have the p60 yet and when i asked my company they said that it will be there with you by 31st may but we cannot guarantee when. will that be ...

The family appointment would be for the biometric visas where the whole family, or the family members who needs submitting the biometric data needs to be present.

Hey manyaonisland Thanks! The guidance doesn't indicate anything like that. The only reason I took 60 months payslips with me was if they need anything I can show. I also took all my bankslips for the same reason but nothing was asked. I didn't show any savings, you don't have to. I've read on this...
