Hi Abc499, that's very helpful. Thanks very much for your help.

Thanks very much Abc499 for your response. Greatly appreciated. That's what I thought too, but in the second point. it says " previous leave as a Tier 1 (General) migrant was granted under the rules in place on or after 6 April 2010". I understand previous leave means the latest T1G visa which is ...

Hi CR001, I have a question on the points assessment. There is no points calculator any more on the immigration website, so I wanted to double check the points criteria as the wording in the application form is not very good. For points claimed for total earnings section A7, there are 2 categories ...

Hello People, I'm applying for a Tier-1 (General) extension. I'm claiming 11 months earnings - 1 Feb 2011 - 31 Oct 2011 and 1 Dec 2011 - 31 Jan 2012. Earnings are in the form of monthly salaries. Earnings for first 10 months is outside UK. For converting the earnings to GBP, as per the guidelines, I ...

Wonderful, that's what I wanted. Appreciate it.

About the UK experience as well - Can you please confirm my understanding..

Thanks taheernavid. Why do you think points for UK experience cannot be claimed in my case? As per UKBA, what matters is the amount of 16k while working in UK, they don't have any minimum period of consideration here. So I think I can claim. Experts - Please confirm this. Also, my last question on ...

Hi All, I'm new to this forum. I'm in UK on Tier-1 (General) about to expire on 09 March 2012. I came very recently to UK. So, I'm naturally falling short of earnings to show for extension.
