Salary information

Post by apri1281 » Wed Jul 20, 2022 11:02 pm

Hello, I am going to apply for my indefinite leave to remain application soon through the 5 year work permit route, however, I have a question regarding my last month's payslip. In my last month's payslip I had a significant performance related bonus amount which is showing my net pay in the payslip as much higher than it usually is normally.

In my sponsor letter, the company has specified that I earn a certain amount of salary per year but hasn't mentioned anything about the performance bonus as it depends on what performance rating I get every year. So my question is will the Home Office be suspicious when looking at the net pay in my latest payslip and then comparing that against my yearly salary which will indicate that I got paid much more than I should usually. How can I make it clear to the Home Office that there was a bonus amount in the payslip or should I wait until next months payslip as that would have my normal monthly salary amount?

I would be really grateful if someone could answer this for me as soon as possible. Thank you!

A simple note or letter explaining the reason will suffice.

I am submitting the application online and didn't see any section in the application where I could attach a cover letter. Could you please elaborate on how exactly can I send the letter explaining this?

You upload your documents on a UKVCAS system after application submission

There are no templates. Simply briefly write what you need to write and upload with your documents.

Evidence of absence

Post by apri1281 » Thu Jul 21, 2022 7:20 pm

Hello, I am going to apply for my indefinite leave to remain application soon through the 5 year work permit route, however, I have a question regarding providing evidence of absence from the UK.

What exactly counts as an evidence for this? Do I need to provide a scan of all the pages of my passport where immigration authorities has stamped when I was traveling? I was only absent from the UK because of traveling reasons.

I would be very grateful if someone could please provide advice on this topic!

I will have to upload a scanned copy of my passport anyway. Do I need to upload it twice then? Once for the requirement of just passport itself and once as an evidence for the absence?

Is providing a scanned copy of your passport a requirement? That's the first I've heard it.

So you upload all scanned copies of your stamps on the UKVCAS website along with other documents such as employer letter, payslips? Are you also meant to upload a copy of your BRP and passport cover page too?
This isn’t listed in the list of documents pages on the portal so I’m a bit confused?

This isn’t listed in the list of documents pages on the portal so I’m a bit confused? The list of documents you refer to is not exhaustive and many a applicant got refused based on submitting only the documents on the list generated during their application.

manchesterunited1, are you same as april1281? If no ask your own questions in your own thread. Rude to hijack another member's post.

No I’m not - sorry I didn’t know this was being discussed elsewhere.

Could you please provide a complete list of items to upload or alternatively direct me to where this list is already discussed?

Many thanks!
