FIRSTLY I MUST SAY HOW SORRY I AM FOR RAICHARD AND PARTNER REGARDING THEIR VISA REFUSAL LETTER. IF I WAS IN THEIR SHOES I WOULD IMMEDIATELY CONTACT MY M.P. AND GET THEM TO WRITE TO THE HOME OFFICE MINISTER AND ASK FOR AN EXPLANATION.

I WAS CHECKING BACK MY PAYSLIPS FOR MAY AND NOTICED THAT I WAS IN THE PHILIPPINES MOST OF APRIL AND MAY. MY MAY PAYSLIP SHOWS MAINLY HOLIDAY PAY FOR THIS PERIOD AND IS JUST LESS THAT THE £1550 GROSS A MONTH THAT I AM COMFORTABLE WITH. THIS NOW BREAKS MY CONTINUED 6 MONTHS PAYSLIPS SHOWING MY EARNINGS ABOVE THE 18600 THRESHOLD. I AM WORKING ON AT LEAST £1550 A MONTH GROSS JUST BASIC PAY NO OVERTIME. MY ACTUAL MONTHLY FLAT RATE EVERY MONTH IS £1560 GROSS WITHOUT OVERTIME ETC A LOT MORE WITH OVERTIME OF COURSE. BUT NOW I AM SCARED TO INCLUDE THAT(MAYBE NOW I AM GETTING PARANOID)

MY QUESTION TO THE WISE IS.... HOW WOULD THE IMMIGRATION OFFICER DEAL WITH A PAYSLIP THAT MOSTLY CONSISTS OF HOLIDAY PAY FOR ONE MONTH? WHICH SHOWED JUST LESS THAT THE ACTUAL MONTHLY REQUIREMENT. I AM SURE OUR MEMBERS WOULD BE MOST INTERESTED IN THIS. AND WE ARE NOW PRAYING FOR RAICHARD AND PARTNER FOR THE DECISION TO BE OVERTURNED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
