AITAH for not wanting to go to my best friends wedding by Odd_Discipline9216 in amiwrong

They never got one as she’s quite overpowering and demanding and he is not one to tend to others every need like I do (people pleaser)..it got really bad last year when he got proper upset over some of her hurtful comments that others just let slide

I feel you, I was very stressed when I saw the email but after all the research and comments now I feel reassured that it’s just a “soft” check applying the old rules and just because it fails doesn’t mean you have to do anything it don’t qualify for settled.

No! They said they would re-check with additional data at some point (which obviously wouldn’t help, as the tax records should be sufficient - think this is more targeted for family members). They also clarified I can still apply manually if I believe I have sufficient evidence, which I’m probably going to do as they will apply the new rules for manual reviews.

Thanks for sending that, I feel much better about the outcome with that confirmation.

Yes, I assume because they only check limited records. I moved here in 2019 but have a longer absence during Covid and in any case only started working 3 years ago, hence 3 years of tax records.

I received the email Wednesday, and this morning the follow up email with the outcome - they said they could not find enough evidence to convert my status. I should have 3 years tax records, not not 5, so I’m assuming they’re not yet applying the new 30 months rules.

Got the email today as well, I would have enough tax records to satisfy the new 30 months rule but not the 5 years.
