Category A then.
Yes salaried jobs however the 2nd one is temporary but ive been working there nearly a year nowKorekt wrote: ↑Thu Jan 02, 2020 11:07 amCategory A then.
If just one job is sufficient to meet the income requirements, then what's required are just the payslips for the 6 months preceding the application date, or the 26 weeks preceding the same if paid weekly.
If there is a need to use both jobs, then the payslips from both jobs for the 6 months preceding the application date, or the 26 weeks preceding the same if paid weekly.
Are both jobs salaried?
Also you said 6 months of payslips and thats how i understood it too that from both employers i should provide 6 months of payslips but on the checklist that comes with the application its asking for 12months of payslips??

I am no immigration guru however, although you will Apply for Category A (1 job for 6 months or more & meet the income requirement) do not withhold your second income from them especially if the salary is going into the same account (Bank Statements) that you will provide. Add it is a second income & be 'clear' in your covering letter to cover that element too - that although your 1 salary covers the financial requirement you are working for a second employer and providing details of that too etc. - by all means check with someone but I know I would if I was in that situation.
Thanks.
Jay
75 WD actually - incorrect counting!
6 months is the global service standard so I would assume so...Noshr67 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2020 3:30 pmNo update for myself either
I dont think I have the sabr patience to wait as long as half of you guys have done...
Going to consider going through MP next week
Either than or might wait till I reach end of week 12 then do it
Confused about the service standard time
Are they even allowed to be keeping people waiting 6 months

Hi guys,
Just checking in to see if any movement/replies/escalations have been made? I'm on 77WD today and am now seriously considering involving my MP - I have the email drafted and everything but I'm actually fearful that it may end up in the visa being rejected (stupid, I know!)

I think I'll wait 2 more weeks max and then also get the mp involved. It's been 90+ days now and I'm so tired, this wait is killing me. And same, I keep thinking rejection aswell.So many cases that were given after ours have recieved some response which also makes me think theyre lost under a pile somewhere. May god help us. I pray from the bottom of my heart for you all❤Noshr67 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 08, 2020 9:11 pmHun I feel for you and myselfms1993 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 08, 2020 6:41 pmFor Noshr67, ElizaK, AS4LYF and Yazy Iat

I'm also considering mp even tho I've said so many times I will escelate it ... but I haven't contacted mp for same reason as fear of rejection
I dont know why we are waiting or what we are waiting for anymore
I'm hopeful as most cases like ours get the visa yet scared as also heard people waited months and months later it got rejected
I fear our files have got lost under the pile
I paid priority all that money gone to waste too
No movement for myself
Feel like ringing for update but think that will be pointless too

Nope, nothing for me, it is now 118 working days as of today . I honestly have no idea what is taking them so long as my 120 working days will be up next week.
On another note, I have also been made aware that those who applied before the earthquake are still waiting for their decision while those who applied after the earthquake have been receiving their visas.
I am really tempted to contact my MP but am just putting it off for the similar reasons.
It is easy for me to call them end of January but I am putting off calling them in the hope that I will get the good news Inshaa’Allaah.
My mind is saying that I have no idea how long they will take but my heart is saying that I should be hearing from them very soon.
That’s an interesting thought about the earthquakes that I hadn’t even come across. Is this from your own research of this forum?Yazy lat wrote: ↑Thu Jan 09, 2020 1:01 pmAS4LYF wrote: ↑Thu Jan 09, 2020 11:59 amHey ms1993ms1993 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 08, 2020 6:41 pmFor Noshr67, ElizaK, AS4LYF and Yazy Iat

Contact MP by googling who your local MP is first and then emailing all details across to them
That seems very logical but then again, the decision making happens within the U.K. and the vignette applied within the passport centre which could happen in Islamabad?

Ms1993 where did you apply from? Mirpur or Islamabad?
Also I have recently heard from sources that the reason those who applied in Mirpur before the earthquake are still waiting more than 5 months (myself included…) is because they are waiting to rebuild the Mirpur centre or move to another building in Mirpur and it could take at least another 2 months.
So it could take until March 2020 to receive a decision, now to me this seems like the most logical reason behind the lengthy delays. I just hope that all of us get a decision before that, but then again I could be wrong.
