Points needed for Tier 1 (General) Extension

[sam1979]

Hi Guys,

I tried looking for information but it is all too confusing:
Here are my details.


My visa was approved on 10th January 2011

Validity Period is: 15th March 2011 to 14th March 2013


Points Claimed by me:

Age: 10

Qualification: 35

Earning: 35

UK Exp: 0

English Language: 10

Maintenance Funds: 10


I have couple of questions :

In order to get an extension in 2013

How many points I will have get?

All my rest of the points stay the same ,
How many points I will have claim for earnings?

Thanks in Advance !

You need to get 100 points.

As you will get the same points for age, qualification and hopefully have enough maintenance, the only variables are: earnings and UK experience. As you are in the UK, UK experience is also likely to be 5.

Thus: you already have 70 points in the bag and have to make up 30 points for earnings.

So you need to earn at least £50,000 in the year before applying for you visa.

Hope that helps.
