previous earning

[ranjan]

Hello All,

I have my Tier 1 (General) Application got rejected.

The reason specified as since I was living and working in the UK when this money was earned, this amount must assess using the conversion rate for the UK.

As per my understanding, its nowhere in the policy document mentioned that my earning in other country would be converted to GBP on existing exchange rate without applying 'uplift ratio'.

Moreover, I have got many friends and collegues who had previous earnings and location was UK as mine, all of them have got their earnings from outside the UK converted to GBP using 'uplift ratio'.

Considering these I am pretty much sure that there is a mistake committed by the Case Worker while considering my tier 1 (General) application as uplift calculation was applied to many alike cases of my colleagues and friends.


So could anyone please advice me on how could I get my application reviewed? Or what is the way to get out of this situation?

115. The country in which the applicant has been working, rather than his/her nationality, determines the income bands against which we will assess the earnings.

Taking your case, it means that any income you earned in India while you were physically present and working in UK *is not* subject to uplift. In other words, the country where you are working determines the income band - irrespective of where the income is actually earned / credited.

So the guidance clearly mentions it but you either failed to notice or interpret the meaning accurately. This issue has been discussed on this forum. e.g. - see this. If you search, you'll find many posts addressing this concern of uplift factor.

In a nutsehll, there is no error of judgment at the UKBA end. The negative outcome is, sadly, a result of your own misunderstanding. So there is no question of review / appeal helping your case.
