Rule of the thumb is, only send what is asked. Sending un necessary documents does not help.
Payslips are only required if there is a gap in passports.

Hi akhurshid,

What does it mean if you say gap between passports;

Does it mean gap between expiration of passport and issuence on new passport ? if Yes what kind of gap is acceptable means how long and in what circumstances ?

It was a letter from my current job just saying how much it's my salary and etc. I have everything else too.[/quote]

ok thanks. So you just put that in as extra?[/quote]

I have just sent it with my application to support it (just extra thing) and also shows that I have been paying tax and what is my current stage regards job and not just hanging around.
It is true that as long as you have your all passports than it's fine and should be enough but I wanted to send them with along with my application to support it.

Any idea How long will it take to get approvel ?

Clear answer: No, unfortunately. Some people get their approval within six weeks. There are others in this forum who have been waiting for a year. The reasons given for the wait are b/s. So nobody can tell, but in all frankness, if you are either Muslim or a EU citizen without a PR card, you'll probably have to wait in excess of 6 months.

Hi Samaralady,

I'm on the same situation, applied in Sept, Eu citizenship with no ILR card.

I only submitted p60s and letters from employers or proof of residence for the last 6 years.

Just wanted to check if you sent any other docs as proof of residence?

Cheers
