Hi Guys
I am going for a PEO appointment at Croydon on Jan 30th with two dependants and I have some minor confusions reg some sections of SET(O) application.
Before asking any questions I will summarize my situation
1) Entered UK on 29-JAN-2008 on Work Permit visa
2) Switched to Tier 1 general in 2009 visa applied date is 27-MARCH-2009 and visa was issued on 08-May-2009.
3) Applied for Tier 1 Extension on 02-May-2012 and visa was issued on 22-Aug-2012.Current Tier 1 leave expires on 22-Aug-2014.
1) In the past 5 years I was employed except between Aug-2010 to 27-June-2011.
During this period I did not apply for any public funds as I was not eligible for them.
Will this 11 months unemployment be a problem for my ILR application.
2) Every month my company pays me my on call money in the form of bonus.So due to this my net pay keeps on changing.
What do I need to write in section 5(5.3) If so, what is your pay each month after income tax and other deductions?
Can I write the average of the total amount earned in the past 12 months??
3) On page 11 of SET(O) form section 5 do I need to fill the stuff related to SOC code, Current rate of pay etc.
I guess I don't need to fill these bits as my latest category is Tier 1. Just wanted to confirm this bit.
4) Section 6 Immigration History
I travelled to India during my Work Permit period(29-JAN-2008 to 08-May-2009) twice on vacation for the duration of 8 & 9 days.
Do I need to get any letters from my then employer reg this travel for section 6.3??
During my Tier 1 period I travelled to India thrice for vacation for the the duration of 11,14,37 days.
Do I need to submit any explanation reg these trips for section 6.3??
Can I write vacation in reason for absence column for all my above personal trips??
Overall absence in these past 5 years is 79 days which should be OK.
5) Section 11 c
Do I need to get a letter from employer??
Thanks in Advance

Chowdary Garu,
documents you mentioned is more than enough,
Letter from your employer is not required as currently you on are T1 G from 2009,
here is my success story, my personal exp - we have any ideas and many suggestions avail in the world but we go with best option. I was on WP for 18 months with 60 days vacation but no letter has been submitted.
http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=123739
We have SOHEL and other most experienced people around, no worries
Go ahead and come back with your success story,
Regards,
Deepa

Note that photocopies of any document you submit as evidence for your ILR application is stated as a requirement in the guidance.
While some CW's have not requested these they were certainly asked for, when I went to Croydon earlier this month. Personally I would take them with me, if I were going to Croydon, to avoid adding more time to the wait there (because the CW would then need to spend time photocopying your evidence). Especially with the large volume of applications they process at the PEO on a daily basis.

Hi Guys
Just one last question
Just now I found that my November payslip is showing 30 pence difference from the amount what was deposited in my account.
My November pay was done in parts (1950.77+379.48=2330.25)
But my pay slip shows 2,330.55
Will this cause any trouble.
Can I explain this in a covering letter.
Cheers

What would you put in the covering letter? "
please notice that there is a slight discrepancy of 30 p between the two"? This would be obvious to anyone looking at the two papers.
Do you know why this happened? In that case, get whoever has the right answer to include a letter if you wish.

The pay (that you are using towards your previous earnings) in the two sources of evidence you provide, must match. There have been cases where T1G extension applications have been rejected due to a mere discrepency of a penny or two. This is in cases where an explanation has not been provided and the income threshold for points not met due to the specific payslip/bank statement not being considered.
So if there is a discrepency it would be your employer that should confirm the reason and state what the actual salary paid was, so that you can claim the correct points for the correct earnings. If this is done, you should be fine.

Hi
Does this mean if I omit my November pay from my previous earnings then every thing is good.
Even though after removing my November payslip I will get the required points.
Please suggest me if this is the correct option.

Yes, if you don't require that months pay, that would be the easiest & best option. Note also that you don't need to include 12 months of payslips, you just need to use the number of payslips required to score the required previous earnings points.
So if you score the points you need using 8 payslips, then that's all you need to submit.

Hi cs95tdg
Thanks for the information.
Will go ahead & remove November pay.
@stokbrig i did spend couple of sleep less night approx 10 to get the booking.
Write down everything before hand in a notepad as typing may lead to errors & typo's
Open multiple tabs & keep on trying.
I did use couple of tips from this page also.

Hi Guys
I just wanted to confirm few things at the last minute just for peace of mind.
1) From page 28(9B – TIER 1 (ENTREPRENEUR) MIGRANTS) I am assuming that I need not fill any thing until page 39
The next section relevant to me Section 10.
Is that right??
Please confirm this.
2) Section 10 page 43
14.2,14.3:-Are these details related to parent or child
i e Date of Birth,Place of Birth.
Bit confused with this bit
Please clarify.
@stokbrig I usually tried at mid night & it is very very busy at that time.
Cheers
