Re: 90 Day Letter Watching!
Yes, snoopster, I agree entirely!
I have absolutely convinced myself that I don't have enough points now, even though I "should" if I have provided enough supporting documentation. I have been through all of this before!!! Must stop fretting.
Well, over the last few days I have realised that you DO need to repeat all of the official forms (which can be typed into) because the card I got with the letter states updated application forms and schedules "even if you have not had a significant change in circumstances such as a change of employment or family composition".
Ok, so we just copy what we had originally, provided you've kept copies , but add the last 2.5 years' experiences into the most recent fields. Then we need to put a note somewhere to say the earlier years' supporting documentation was provided with original application.
That seems straight forward... mind you, one thing I am wondering about is the updating of funds. There is a new form on the website (for current applicants) which is your "personal self-worth statement".
Has anyone filled that in when sending response to 90-day letter? That one wasn't around when we applied originally, so I am thinking you probably don't use it...
I am still waiting for yet another reference from my old employer, (for 2005 - 2006) who is probably thoroughly fed up with writing these things for me!
Like I said, it can be tricky!
Good luck all of us who are "updating" right now, I want to be in the queue again

Re: 90 Day Letter Watching!
We're filling out the forms for the update and it is a case of repeating the information in the same old boxes which seem to appear in a slightly different order just to keep us on our toes!
For funds we're getting another 'valuation' from the local estate agent and enclosing the mortgage statement, taking one figure from the other.
As far as 'work experience' I'm still not sure about this pay slips business. I don't see any harm in sending in an updated reference from my employer (which hasn't changed)
By the way was it me or did anyone else have fun tracking down the 4page Schedule 1 form? Found it eventually lurking on the cic website, not on the canada.org.uk site as mentioned on the 90 day letter.

We were just going to fill out the box on IM0008. Without appearing a fool where does one download the funds form? From canada.org.uk?

Re: 90 Day Letter Watching!
The "personal worth statement" is the form I mentioned. I have asked on a seperate thread whether we need to send this so hopefully someone will respond.
