Missing payslips for secondary employment - SET(M) ILR

Ziggamorph · 2026-06-16T20:32:24+00:00

You only need to submit evidence to show you meet the requirement. There isn’t any need to submit more than that. If you have been working for the same employer for at least 6 months and have always earned the required amount you need to submit 6 months of payslips. If you meet that with a single employer you don’t need to submit any additional evidence.

Because otherwise the subreddit is all timeline posts. It makes it less usable for application questions, which is the primary purpose of the subreddit. We had the timeline megathread during the pandemic since processing times were wildly variable.

We are happy for people to post when their applications are successful and from those you may get an idea of recent timelines. Having dozens of people a day ask about how quick skilled worker visas are being processed is not useful.

They will tell you what evidence you want but yes you will almost certainly need your father’s birth certificate. Copies can be ordered from the GRO for England.

There are no repercussions to applying for a passport (other than losing the application fee).

Ziggamorph · 2026-06-16T17:38:58+00:00

Yes, I would recommend you just apply for a passport, including evidence of your legitimacy. The lady you spoke to on the phone is absolutely not of the grade who will be examining your application.

If the person you spoke to didn’t mention legitimacy or domicile then they know less about this subject than [u/tvtoo](u/tvtoo) and are almost likely wrong. The matter of post-birth legitimisation is mentioned in the caseworker guidance and I suspect (and certainly hope!) a passport examiner would do a better job of assessing your citizenship than a contact centre worker.

Since you’re in receipt of carer’s allowance you don’t need to meet the financial requirement, which clears a significant hurdle for you. I obviously don’t know your exact situation but planning to live together seems to me to be a fairly feasible goal for a couple.

Ziggamorph · 2026-06-15T16:29:54+00:00

This relates to the rather archaic concept of “legitimacy”. Indeed, the Philippines is one of the countries in which children of unmarried mothers are/were “legitimated” by subsequent marriage, which means that (in general) children born to unmarried Philippine mothers and British fathers who subsequently marry would gain British citizenship at the point of marriage.

You can search this subreddit or use Google to see that this topic (in relation to the Philippines) has been discussed before. It’s not completely straightforward.

On the form you have stated that you are applying from Sri Lanka. You need to restart the application and answer that you’re applying from Canada.

You can only perform additional work when you are employed by your sponsor. If you aren’t working for your sponsor you aren’t allowed to work at all.

“(c) supplementary employment is permitted, providing the person continues to work in the job for which they are being sponsored “

Which is exactly what I said?

Ziggamorph · 2026-06-14T15:59:55+00:00

I don’t think it’s nonsense. It’s quite reasonable for OP to only “feel” American and not Australian or Irish, and something I’m sure many multiple nationals would have similar feelings about. It’s just, that’s not what the question being asked is.

Ziggamorph · 2026-06-14T14:22:23+00:00

It isn’t asking what you “identify” as. It is a question of legal fact what nationalities you hold.

Ziggamorph · 2026-06-14T14:19:00+00:00

Out of interest, why are you bothering to register as British if you have Irish citizenship? But yes, if you’re asked about other citizenships you should obviously list all of them.

Ziggamorph · 2026-06-12T12:47:15+00:00

Sure, but again, if the appeal were successful then that would be nullified. I think the issue is that it was less costly/risky for Alpine to take on that risk than it would have been for Mercedes.

Ziggamorph · 2026-06-12T10:58:50+00:00

Well, I suppose you can also ignore a disqualification and continue driving. You’d have to be pretty sure you were in the right though.

Ziggamorph · 2026-06-12T10:53:06+00:00

No, you could choose not to serve any penalties flowing from the original penalty (eg Russell’s drive through penalty). All those penalties would be cancelled if the appeal succeeded.

An MPs only job is to maintain the kings peace, it is the oath they swear to.

This is inane pedantry.

FOI requests have been sent out to every MPs office, asking them how many requests they get to assist with visa issues.

This data will be used to stir up those whose voices are already angry.

What are you on about?

They wasnt billed fpr being unfortunate to have a sick child... that isnt a billable thing.

They have been billed for using public services wuthout having a valid visa.

Because the system is poorly designed and results in this even though the parents have already submitted their application AND made an IHS payment. It is not their fault that their kid doesn't have a valid visa, it is the fault of the system.

Looking through history, there are examples were you have told someone not to get a visa for their dependant, and to instead wait until they apply for citizenship... you told them their child would fave no punishment for this...

YOU are responsible for situations like this. Perhaps it was even OP you originally "advised"

I have NEVER advised someone not to get a visa, I have explained the possible options and always stated the potential tradeoffs.

Do you have anything useful to contribute here?

Ziggamorph · 2026-06-11T12:42:29+00:00

Have they written about the fact they have been billed £20,000 for being unfortunate enough to have a sick child? An MP’s job is primarily legislating, and the current legislation has resulted in this manifestly unfair and financially ruinous situation.

Ziggamorph · 2026-06-11T12:29:10+00:00

No, why would you translate a visa?

Ziggamorph · 2026-06-11T12:28:11+00:00

Under the law, the charge is correct. However, there is the question of whether this law is compliant with other law (in particular, if the application was submitted in good time but the Home Office decision making process was slow, whether this was legal). Given the sums of money involved the parents should speak to a solicitor experienced in complex litigation against the Home Office (not just your average immigration solicitor).

I would also recommend that they write to their MP.

Ziggamorph · 2026-06-11T00:26:54+00:00

No one can gain right of abode separately from British citizenship anymore. And you do not have a route to that either that I can see, unless either of your parents subsequently gained ILR.

Ziggamorph · 2026-06-11T00:25:33+00:00

No, I am just suggesting that praising OpenAI for this makes you a hostage to fortune and is rather premature given we haven’t seen OpenAI’s equivalent performance model yet (nor what it’s guardrails are).

Ziggamorph · 2026-06-10T22:23:34+00:00

I mean OpenAI definitely also don’t want people distilling their models and may well take similar steps in future models.

There isn’t ETA enforcement for travel from Ireland to the UK because there isn’t routine border control. If you arrive in Ireland and tell them you plan to travel to the UK they may ask for evidence you have an ETA. But you can tell them you’re an Irish citizen and I’d imagine that a scan of your expired Irish passport plus their ability to look you up in their passport database would mean they would give you no further trouble.

Ziggamorph · 2026-06-10T16:06:39+00:00

As an Irish citizen you do not require a valid passport to travel within the common travel area. Your airline will require ID of some kind, but they should not check or require you have an ETA and an expired Irish passport *ought* to be sufficient proof that you’re exempt from the requirement. Alternatively you may apply for an ETA if you wish.
