Hiya,
I think you should have no problem in claiming earnings for whatever period you want to, within the period allowed (12 months out of 15months). AS long as you show the evidence .. statements or payslips etc. and have the necessary earnings for your claim.

Good luck mate.

Cheers!

I got a refusal with some vague reasons of no funds and all that. I went back to the Consulate and all they ...

Hi John and others. Called the homeoffice to find about the criteria and they suggest to leave the country and apply from High Commission. So 3+2+6 months of grant is irrelavant unless one comes in the country with more than 6 month visa. My query is What do I need to do (step by step) to join my pa...

John, Tried Home Office about 10 times but never got connected. The confusion does raise doubt and I don't think this would work that easy. Otherwise people with short term visa would get their leave extended and get COA. It would be easier. I wonder if there is any appeal on the refusal of COA. any...

Thanks again John, Its 3+2 (as a workpermit) + 6 (presently within these 6 months - it is not an extension as a workpermit but extension to travel around and sort out things to leave). Now based on the clause you quoted above. "If the applicant has been granted an in country extension of st ay,...

hi, I called the home office to enquire if I could switch the workpermit to Student.

The answer was no I can't switch for that I need to go out and get EC.

Cheers!

Thanks WAZIR, That is an option but I don't have enough points to qualify for the HSMP. My workpermit is of short duration so it doesn't really count. The idea is to get a longer workpermit while in the country. I stumbled on the following information on UKVISA website. "If you do not enter the...

Hello! This is a good website. I am on a short duration workpermit and with a Masters degree from UK. I want to stay and find long duration work in UK. Work commitment doesn't let me look around for work so I am stuck with no opportunities to explore in the time I have on my Visa. I have been contem...
