Is there anyone who got Tier 1/HSMP visa with a degree older than 5 years? I recently applied for Tier 1 visa from China and got rejected for the reason that my master degree is over 5 years, so 35 points were not awarded. (Qualification section, not UK experience section). Appealed and rejected aga...
hi dima, point 27 is for "UK Experience: notes", not for "Qualification". Please check point 4-7, "Qualification: notes", it does not state the 5 year rule of degrees. I was refused to award 35 points for "Qualification", not 5 points for "UK Experience&...
then u can apply as a fresh and mention clearly that u r only claiming points for qualification not UK Study experience. If u r in UK and wanna claim points for UK experience then claim on the basis of previous earnings. To hire solicitor is good option as well. They would guide u how to appeal. Ch...
I agree with you. I understand the 5 –year rule only applies to UK experience section, not for the qualification. BTW, if the 5 year rule applies to qualification, this means that so many people who are holding t1 general visa will not be qualified to extend their visas. can you pls check this li...

Hi guys, I have a question regarding whether pension is part of my earnings. Say my gross salary is 2000 per month. I am paying 6% and my employer pays 6% for my pension. My question is: can I claim the 120 I am paying for pension as my earnings and can I claim for the 120 my employer is paying? Rea...
I referred a friend to join my company. According to the company policy, I would get serveral thousand pounds for the referal. It will be paid into my bank account and will be taxed. Can this be part of my earnings?
Say my currently HSMP visa expires on 1 Aug, I want to extend in person so that I can get the result on the same day. And I want to apply on 1 Aug so that I can claim income of July. Unfortunately, 1 Aug is Sunday, so I guess they are not open. So can I apply on the following working day?

I searched on their website, but could not find the so-called rules. Appendix A-Attributes para 32-41 are not about qualification. They are related to Tier 1 Investors

thanks for your replies. it's paid into my bank account. so the payslip agrees with the bank statement. the thing is it's not part of my normal salary. the payslip mentioned:
base salary: xxx
holiday pay: xxx
The net pay after tax can be seen in my bank statement.
