thanks Mark for the confirmation of payment email address. Find it quite strange that they would not mention that in the letter they send out.

Its almost like they try and build in reasons to fail people on the applicaiton!

Well I've been here almost a year now, I'm settled in a life and a job with friends and people who I love. I didn't wanna give that up!

Just make sure you send a Validated copy with the barcode page!

colbelfast

If I don't have the barcode page will that be an issue?

Third6

If you don't have the barcode page then it's not validated so yes, that will be an issue.

markstimson

If it's the same as what you sent, just hit 'validate' and this will generate the barcode page at which point you can save and send. Happy days.

Mmm starting to worry If I don't have a copy of the form I sent in post which had the barcode on it

Got my passed to CIC email today about 5pm. I'm proper dead happy. To add to theat, I got an email in work just before I left which put me in a brilliant mood and now I'm off for five days! Fantastic!!

Are you planning on staying then? Why don't you go for a temp work permit with a LMO letter? you could stay another 2 or 3 years and go for residency....

markstimson

Sod it. I'm sending payment again and emailing a screen shot of the HSBC payment sent page if I don't get any kind of acknowledgement re proof of payment tomorrow. I've read previous posts and enough people have paid twice to get it through. The payment sent page has all the info they are asking for in the email. Starting to get a touch stressed out now! Not for the first time with this process.....

Don't waste your money. I sent my payment last week and the following day I was asked for proof of payment. I never received any reciept bar the automated reply but got passed to the CIC today. Have patience

That's my plan, I need to get a proper job though! haha. Right now I'm just working part-time as a music publicist and part-time at a movie theater. I'm working on getting a more permanent music job to possibly either get an LMO for or straight apply for PR through arranged employment.

markstimson

Oh man...I'm trying but it's so hard! That's great news by the way. I paid last Thurs, asked for proof on Fri and sent the info also on Fri. May I ask when you paid and sent proof? Also did you send them the ref numbers or a PDF of some kind of receipt? Wondering whether an actual receipt instead of just the payment info will get through quicker...
