PEO: MAINTENANCE FUNDS (OVERSEAS) LETTER FROM BANK

[pcf]

Hi,

Hope someone can shed some light/reassurance:

I currently have a PEO appt. booked for a tier-1 extension in Liverpool; my previous application for Tier 1 was by post.

The last time I applied, as a proof of maintenance funds I provided a letter from my bank in Mexico saying that I had held the £800 (back then) funds in the account for over three months. The letter was signed, stamped, stated my name, account no., date, was on Bank headed paper, and it said the Bank was regulated by the Mexican Financial Authority. I am planning on producing the same evidence this time around (I've requested a new letter from my bank); do you reckon I'll have any issues for PEO? I'm always a bit hesitant on this one.

Second question is, I lost one of my payslips and my company has sent me a scanned copy of the original (my job is travel 100% therefore I'm don't really have an the office), should I just print this out and include with the rest of them or request it to be stamped and signed?

Also, if you provide payslips and bank statements there is no need for a company letter stating your salary, is there?

Thank you very much for your help!

PS. If anyone has an appointment for the 28th of June willing to trade for the 2nd of July, please let me know! (I know you can't trade but we can coordinate to switch!)

Was your initial application made in Mexico or did you apply inside the UK? Applications made overseas have risk assessment teams who are expert in authenticating and verifying locally-emitted paperwork. There will not be the same latitude at the PEO and they may want to hold the application to make checks. I'm guessing on this matter so I could be worrying you unnecessarily.

Also, if you provide payslips and bank statements there is no need for a company letter stating your salary, is there?

Generally that is the correct. One scanned payslip amongst 11 that are original (with a supporting bank statement) should not pose a problem.

Original Tier 1 was made in the UK by post.

What do you think?

Thanks for your reply btw.

I think I'll print the payslip and cut it to the same size as the othe ones

Okay, but by post gave them time to consider the letter. It may or may not be an issue this time as they have to make a decision in a matter of minutes. Do you really need a PEO application?

Unfortunately this time around the job I'm in is 90% travel so I need a decision fast otherwise I may compromise my job. I'd go for post otherwise.

Well it seems like you have no choice. You'll just have to see what happens on the day.
