Hello,

I have a question for anyone who can help. I am presently on a PSW visa having graduated with a masters degree last yr. I am presently preparing to make an application for my tier 1 initial highly skilled visa in country application. My question concerns earning, i work as a contractor in the UK, and i also do business thriugh a registered company i have in Nigeria. Can i present past earnings from UK and Nigeria for the past 12months?

Another way to ask the question is that am i able to make my application based on earning for two different countries? Is this acceptable?

Yes, if you can provide documentary evidence to support your claim (of earnings in two different countries). Also, you *cannot* apply multiplier factor to your overseas earnings.

Please read the policy guidance *carefully*.

As suggested, please read the policy guidance *carefully*. It explains what multiplier factor is.

Thanks,i have read it pls find the details

133. Where an applicant has earnings from more than one country, the points based calculator will apply the appropriate uplift ratio for each country in which the relevant earnings were made in order to provide a total UK equivalent value of earnings.

If, during the period for which we are 135. considering the applicantâ€™s previous earnings, he/she has earned money from outside the United Kingdom, he/she can include these in the calculation to score points for earnings. The applicant should provide details of the overseas earnings, in the original currency in which they were paid. The applicant should convert these earnings into pounds sterling by using the closing exchange rate on the OANDA website for the last day of the period for which he/she has claimed earnings in that currency.

Multipier does apply for initial application, but not for extention

When changing from Tier 1 (PSW) to Tier 1 (General), it is not an extension but switching, and therefore an initial Tier 1 (General) application.

Multiplier factor = Uplift ratio.
