How to eSign a document: e-signature lawfulness for Leave of Absence Agreement in United Kingdom

pr means permanent residency and in the uk we call it as ilr which means indefinite leave to remain which means settlement on a permanent basis which means you don't need any visa sponsorship after getting ilr it gives you the right to live work and study here for as long as you like and apply for benefits if you're eligible so today i'm going to discuss all the important documents which are needed to settle in the uk on a permanent basis just a little reminder to all of you to settle in the uk you can apply for settlement for most of the visa categories you can apply on a basis of five years or ten year basis depending on your visa status so irrespective of whichever basis you apply you need to submit the same kind of documents for ilr so today i'll discuss documents that are needed for a five year settlement rule hello guys i'm sarika and welcome to your knowledge buddy thank you everyone for encouraging and supporting me in my youtube journey so today's agenda is to help you prepare for uk's pr so that you are aware in advance without any last minute surprise and you can file your own ilr application without any help from a solicitor so for today's example i'm considering five year route for uk skill visa as this is the most common uk work visa which is granted to most of you guys so first i'll cover documents needed for the main applicant and then i'll cover documents needed for your partner who was on your dependent visa and at the end i'll share few tips so before i start with the documents just wanted to let you know that there are three eligibility criteria to apply ilr number one you should have lived and worked in the uk for five years number two you should meet the salary requirement as said by the uk government and number three you should continue to be needed for your job and meet the salary requirements after you get indefinitely to remain you will need a document from your employer sponsor to confirm there now when to apply the earliest you can apply is 28 days before you have been in the uk for five years on a qualifying visa so a few questions which you guys had asked me on instagram was do we calculate 28 days from visa stamping or do we calculate from visa expiry date so the answer is you should calculate your 28 days from the date of visa stamping now let's talk about the documents needed for the main applicant so in total there are around 11 documents needed for the main applicant i'll start with the two main documents which are needed to be supplied by your employer number one is absence letter so this is a letter from your employer detailing the reason for work related absences including periods or paid annually from uk so this took me the longest time to do as i had to check my passport and check for all the entry and exit dates when i left the uk for last five years so i created a proper excel sheet for this and also included the number of days of absence and also added reasoning for my absence once my excel was ready i shared it with my employer which they verified with the leave absent system and provided a letter confirming my absence both for personal and work related second document from the employer is called employment certificate which should state that you are still required for your job your employment start date your current job title shortage occupation code your current salary your contracted weekly hours confirmation that your salary is equal to or above the minimum salary sent by the government and if you are currently on maternity or paternity you need confirmation of the date they started your salary immediately before the leave and what will be your salary on return so i have both the templates with me if you want me to share the template do let me know in the comment section below and if i get more than 20 requests i'll upload it on my website yourknowledgebuddy.com forward slash download third document you need to book and pass life in the uk test and once you pass the exam you will have to provide the passing reference number when you apply for ilr for document provide evidence of the english language requirements which you can do by either providing naric the new name is ecctis or ielts i recommend you to go for ecctis because this certificates never expires however ielts expires in two years fifth document is your password you need to submit all passports new old and scan all the pages of your password even the pages which are blank the sixth document is your final degree certificate from your university or college seven document is your declaration and consent form which you can download while filling your application online so you need to print and then sign it and scan the document back and upload it on the website the eighth document is your current biometric residence permits so again scan both the front and the back page sign document is your most recent paisley from your employer 10 document is your most recent bank statement and the 11 document is your eccti's letter that confirms the qualification needs or exceeds the recognized standard of bachelor's or master's degree or a phd in the uk and confirm the level of english to which the degree was taught or researched if you are on maternity opportunity break then you should provide your last pay slip and bank statement before you went on trade now let's talk about dependence document that are needed when you apply for ilr number one is obvious your passport so your new and old password again scan all the pages of your password even the pages which are blank number two is proof of english language so again either naric or ielts but the ielts level is only b1 which is easier to pass so just google trinity college island if you're going for narik you will have to submit them your final degree medium of instruction language which is called moi and transcript i have two separate video on my channel which i will link here for your reference number three life in uk test number four brt card again scan both the front and back pages number five if you're using narik you also need to submit your degree set now i'll share two more documents which are needed which you need to submit if you're applying as a couple number one you need to prove that you both are living together so you need to show any bills where both of your names are included like console bill or say broadband or even gas or electricity you need to submit this for last five years number two we also submitted additional document as a marriage certificate just to be on safer side however this is not a mandatory now how to apply you will have to apply online but before that make sure you check that if you are eligible or not by the links which are provided below once you fill your application here you will be taken to a third party site for payment on the payments page you have three options number one is the normal service where you have to pay 2 389 pound which takes around six months from the date of biometric and you cannot leave the country till the time you don't get your password back number two is the priority service which will cost you additional 500 pound where they will give your ilr within five working days after your biometric number three super priority which will cost you additional 800 pound where you'll get ilr within 48 hours after biometric so let's talk about total cost i would say keep a budget of around 3 000 per application as you can see there are so many costs involved like say life in the uk exam this will cost you 50 pounds online application will cost you minimum 2400. so keep more budget aside if you want to avail the priority service ielts exam will also cost you 150 pounds and if you want earlier biometric slot as well for that you need additional money and even nurik certificate will cost you 150 pound but if you use the priority service of narik it will cost you 150 pound for 48 hour service time for some tips i would like to share my few tips before we wrap this video so number one get all your documents ready almost one month in advance as your employer may take time to provide you both the documents number two prepare for life in the uk test and again plan to do this two months in advance we both booked the test and then started preparing three four days before the exam number three whenever you travel abroad during these five years keep an excel sheet and mark the exit and entry date so that it'll be easier for you when you file your ilr so those are my top three tips good luck to everyone who's planning or will be planning to apply for ilr in the uk if you want me to do a demo video do let me know in the comment section thanks for watching my video till the end and i'll see you guys soon
