Default proof of ties to UK on visit

Hi all,

OK I'm due to fly to Texas (Houston,Corpus) in February 27th for 11 days to celebrate my birthday, I've just come back from a Christmas visit for 10 days on the 5th January.

I'm just making sure early that i have enough proof of ties with me just incase:

1. Return ticket - Can this be a print out from online confirmation
2. Copy of Noa1 - should arrive this week, had email confirmation.
3. Letter from employer stating my intended date to return to work.
4. Employer extended contract letter showing i have work until Jan 2015
5. Latest bank statement showing funds in bank account


What else would be good ?? as i now live with parents again while the petition is process so i can save money so no proof of rent/mortgage

Thank you

Paul

Those are as good as you're going to get. The fact is, if you get to having to show documents the Officer is then looking for a reason to deny, rather than to admit. Bearing in mind your history of complying with the terms of the VWP I'd be surprised if you have any trouble being admitted.

You might be having to quit that contract if you have to leave the UK before Jan 2015.

Yes I'm sure I will have to end my employment contract before Jan 2015.

I only have to give one months notice ;-)

So then the contract is not really a good tie to the UK, is it.

So I guess a letter from employer would be better ?

The letter saying the specific date you need to return is better than the one saying you have a contract (that you knowingly won't be fulfilling).

This is all just to sort of show you have a life in the UK that you intend to return to...even though in reality, all those ties can be broken at any time.

The letter from your employer shows that.
