Those that read this know that there are many things that are good about my company mostly around nights where they pick up the bar tab.

I now have a new reason to love them. My visa. A couple of people at work said that I should contact HR and find out if they will take care of things for me which seemed daft to me. From my POV they hired me understanding that I had a visa. Why should they sort things out for me now when it is about to expire? That should be my problem, yes?

Apparently I was wrong. The Company is going to help me.

I still need to take the Life in the UK test and get all my docs together:

Your original Passport
Your spouse’s original UK passport
Two (2) Passport Photos with your full name written on the back of each photograph
One (1) Passport Photos of your British spouse with the full name of your spouse written on the back of the photograph
One (1) signed Application Form SET(M) (XXXXXXX will provide you with this document)
“Life in the UK test” pass notification letter
Your original Marriage Certificate
Original Pay Slips for the 3 months (July, August, September) preceding the Application for Indefinite Leave to Remain (originals, stamped and signed by XXXXXXX)
One (1) original signed Power of Attorney (XXXXXXXl will provide you with this document)
Original 20 letters and/or other documents from at least five different sources addressed to you and your partner at the same address in the UK over the past 2 years (i.e. utility bills, mortgage agreements, bank statements, tenancy agreements, loan/credit card statements, insurance policies, etc.)

I give this pile to them and THEY SUBMIT IT FOR ME.

And something tells me that Rich Uncle will be be paying the fee which my darlings is not a small chunk of change.

I may need to do some actual work tomorrow as a thank you.
