Actual Salary versus Employment Contract - To meet salary threshold

[Globe Trotter]

Hi,

For English language assessment, I have the NARIC comparison certificate for my spouse.

Do I still need to submit the Degree Certificate, Marklists and Medium of Instruction Letter OR shall I avoid submitting these documents?

What is your suggestion?

Thanks.

No harm in sending degree certificate and/or transcript along with NARIC comparability statement & English proficiency letter as well since nothing is posted in original.

[Globe Trotter]

Thanks seagul.

Are online bank statements accepted?

Should I send all my passports of last 15 years OR only the last 5 years passports (those having the entry clearance visa)?

Regards.

[seagul]

Thanks seagul.

Are online bank statements accepted?

Yes if resembles with original

only the last 5 years passports (those having the entry clearance visa)?

Hi,

While filling the form I came across these documents requirement:

1- NARIC letter that confirms the qualification meets or exceeds the recognised standard of a Bachelor's or Masters degree or PhD in the UK AND confirm the level of English to which the degree was taught or researched

2- The official transcript or letter for XYZ to prove the level of English language required

In the second point, I know about the transcript but what about the "letter for XYZ to prove the level of English language required".

[seagul]

what about the "letter for XYZ to prove the level of English language required".

NARIC issued English language proficiency letter. When you will use their red route then will be given 2 documents.

1. NARIC comparability report

2. NARIC English proficiency letter

[Globe Trotter]

Many thanks Seagul.

Does it mean that I can only submit the following:

1. NARIC comparability report

2. NARIC English proficiency letter

And no need to submit these additional documents:

Degree Certificate, Marklists and Medium of Instruction Letter.

By all means I do not want to submit what they haven't asked for.

Regards.

1 & 2 are highly mandatory whereas for remaining you should refer to the checklist which will be generated upon submission.

If you are submitting naric, you need to submit the degree certificate. Without the degree for HO to compare it see what was assessed, the naric assessment will be useless.

Dear Seagul and CR001,

Many thanks for your valuable suggestions.

A question under the section ‘Finance’ asks:

“Do you want to add a previous job from within the last 12 months?”

So do I need to add All jobs in the last 12 months OR should I write No.

Prior to this question, I have already mentioned a job XYZ for which I am claiming points (I am in XYZ job since last 6 months and its salary is sufficient for me to claim the required points)?

Regards.

A question under the section ‘Finance’ asks:

“Do you want to add a previous job from within the last 12 months?”

Possibly that question indicating category B where if someone hasn't been employed with current employer from 6 months. So you need to reply it accordingly based on your circumstances.

Many thanks Seagul.

Can you please guide me as to how to overcome this hurdle:

The name of my under 18 son as per the birth certificate is:

NAME OF CHILD: Alpha Bravo

NAME OF FATHER: Charlie

FAMILY NAME: Delta

But in the passport, we have omitted the name ‘Alpha’ and just wrote ‘Bravo’.

So the full name in passport is Bravo Charlie Delta (That represents his name, father’s name and family name).

1- Will this be considered as a name change?
2- What supporting documents do I need to provide in support of this?

Regards.

Visa will be issued in line with the name showing in his passport. However, If you want to make any name amendment then better you apply new passport to keep the visa process more easier.

[Globe Trotter]

Thanks Seagul.

That means I do not have to submit any supporting documents such as 'Name Change Deed' or 'A self-declaration from parents' stating the name change?

Regards.

No but at later if you wishes to amend his name.

Many many thanks Seagul.

As my child turns 18 on 24 July, I shall be submitting my online application on 23 July.

I know very well that I cannot get the dates for Biometrics before 24th July.

In this scenario, will my son’s application be considered as ‘Under 18’ or he will be treated as ‘Above 18’ because by the time he goes for biometrics, he will be over 18 years.

Kindest regards.

[CR001]

Date of application is the date you submbit and pay online and not the biometric appointment date.

Many many thanks Seagul.

Despite it kept resonating all over the forum all day that only date of application matters and supporting documents must be until the date of application. But still in spite of being contradictory to guideline the ukvi caseworker may ask the documents even beyond to the date of application as experienced by several members.

Many many thanks Seagul and CR001 for your valuable suggestions.

Please guide me if I am correct:

I will be applying on 24th July.

For six months of income, I will be relying on the following payslips:

Feb 2020 (I joined from 1st Feb 2020)
March 2020
April 2020
May 2020
June 2020
July 2020 (I shall be taking the salary for this month on the 23rd)

In the above scenario, will my six months income be taken into consideration (keeping in mind that the salary was taken on 23rd, that is almost 8 days before the end of the month)?

Kindest regards.

You will complete your 6 months on 01/08/20 means will largely depends on caseworker as whether will he follow the official guideline where the documents/requirement must be met at the date of application or ask the documents even beyond to the date of application.

[Globe Trotter]

Many thanks Seagul.

The Total shortfall in the number of days to complete six months is 9 days.

Out of these 9 days, 2 days are on weekends.

That leaves with a shortfall of 7 days.

What if I say that I got a paid leave of 7 days (Will that justify the shortfall of 9 days)?

Regards.

Apart of sufficient pay the required duration is also imperatively mattered under category A. Also even the employer pays the wages in advance but they certainly can't amend the date of commencement of employment on employer letter.

[Globe Trotter]

Apologies for not making myself clear Seagul.

I do not intend to amend any dates.

I just want to justify my shortage of 7 + 2 days in the form of leaves that I want.

To sum it up, after completing 5 months and 22 days, I applied for a leave of 7 days.

Does it hold weight?

Regards.

As per the official guidance you need to have been employed for at atleast 6 months with present employer at the time of application which as per your plan would be 5 months & 22 days. A caseworker if wishes then can refuse the application despite you have supplied 6 months of payslips whilst not having actually completed the 6 months. Your future leave which would be after the date of application wouldn't be considered to offset the required duration. On the other hand many had provided or were asked to provide the supporting documents dated after the date of application which will largely depends on the individual caseworker and your own zeal in undertaking that risk.
