Hello everyone,

I have a dilemma here, I have my reference letter (it's not named reference letter but position description), it contains everything required from job duties to salary, but the problem is that my salary is actually quite different from the one in the reference letter (20 % difference, sometimes 40 to 80%), my letter does not contain bonuses should I go ahead anyway and upload my payslips ?

Thanks
shouldn't be an issue. i think the payslips would cause a discrepancy in this case. why is there such a difference? are you paid differently per month?

Mainly because of on-call duties and performance bonuses occurring once in 3 months, theses can add a relatively considerable amount to the base salary, as said it can be 20% to 40% difference, also my payslips are not stamped which adds a bit to the misery, I am really puzzled by this.

The corporation employing me is a multinational company present in 18 different countries I don't know if it is enough to convince the visa officer that my letter is legit.

My fear is that later on the visa officer requests me with the payslips only to discover the differences.

Thanks.

bonuses are irrelevant. they can just mention you get bonuses in the reference letter. they're not here to compare your salary to your bank account

The reference letter does not mention bonuses, my payslips are not stamped nor signed, should I include them anyway in this case ? thanks.

Hey just wondering what did you do at the end because I’m in the similar situation and wondering if I should upload my payslips or tax return. Thanks
