Question of Extension of Visa as per the new guidelines..

[googleman]

Hi,

My initial visa was granted for 1 year and it is expiring in end of December. To earn the required points in the earning category, I can show last 8 months of earning as per the new guidelines. Since I came to UK in march 2006 and started working in June 2006 I can show only 5 months of earning and I am not getting the required points.

My question is, are we supposed to show last 8 months earning or we are supposed to calculate on a pro-rata basis? When some one is migrating from one country to another, it is anybody's common sense that after getting the visa stamped, it takes nearly 2-3 months to arrive to UK and another 2-3 months to get a job in our area of specialization. After that we need to apply for extension around 8 weeks before expiry. So out of 12 months, around 6 months is gone. So a person can show earning for only 6 months if not more (may be on exceptional cases). So I don't understand the criteria for asking 8 months of earning for people who has initial 1 year visa.

Any person with 1 year of intial visa cannot show 8 months of earning except on very few cases.

Can some one throw some light on what I am supposed to do ( I know one of the answer that is go back to home country. )
