Hi all
I'm applying for indefinite leave to remain and would really appreciate some additional eyes when it comes to gathering the required information. I was able to secure a super priority appointment for next month, but I'm a little confused. When you go to the booking site to book and appointment date, it's just listed as a standard appointment. Is that correct? I'm assuming this just means that I'm booking a 'normal' appointment that doesnt include the extra stuff you pay for like document scanning and isn't at a premium lounge, which is fine, I just want to make sure I'm doing it correctly. This was also a free appointment.
Also, does my partner need to come with me? I think last time I renewed they weren't allowed in the building, but just want to check and make sure.
In the meantime, I thought it would be a good idea to use my time wisely and make sure I've got all my ducks in a row beforehand.
With regards to my employer letter, does the letter need to say I'm being paid monthly?
The visa application says I need the following information:
1. the employment;
2. the gross annual salary;
3. how long the employment has been/was held;
4. the period over which the person has been paid the level of salary stated in their application; and
5. the type of employment (permanent, fixed-term contract or agency),
But the info included in the letter below is what I currently have and I'm trying to clarify as to whether or not I need additional information (i.e., this salary is paid monthly).
Also, I would appreciate clarification on my cohabitation documents. Ideally as to whether or not the months are right or not. As of now, the only joint documentation I have is listed below and I was hoping to ensure the timing is correct before foraging for other documents, whether they be addressed separately or not.
