Settlement Application - Tier 2 General

Hello Members,

I am in the process of preparing for ILR SET(O) Tier 2 Gen 5 Years and have the following queries.

1. Do I need 1 recent payslip and 1-month bank statement or 3 payslips and 3 months bank statement?

The immigration rules clearly state that there is 1 payslip required along with a bank statement that reflects the pay deposit from the current employer. And if the applicant is being supported by someone for ILR then 3 months are needed. But there have been mixed information on this site from other post, So I am requesting to have this clarified from someone who have recently gone in for a Tier 2 ILR and have been given an expert legal advice.

2. The application asks about the total time spent in the UK, I came to UK in 2012 Jan on Tier 4 and left in December but came back to the UK again on May 10 2013 on Tier 2 , So do I have to mention the total time of 5 years 6 months OR just 5 years on Tier 2.

3. Under absence sections I had visited Ireland(Republic) for two weeks. I was given the entry on the port for the same period with a stamp on my passport but didn't get any entry stamp in the UK due to the local port in Luton. How else shall I prove it that I did not spent more than 180 days outside of the UK?

Thank you in advance for your help

1] surely one month enough but to prove financial activity 3 months optional.
2] Just add both duration, it is not much concern.
3] I am not sure, possibly you can produce tickets. if they would have been checked your passport then might be entered into the system as they would not stamp most of the time in the airport.

Thank You Katanayi!

Regarding the payslip and bank statement option. Has this been your recent experience or perhaps someone you know?

Thank you once again!
