Thanks for your responses. We actually only receive an electronic payslip, which really looks like any payslip I've ever had - no colour, just in black and white detailing the information about gross/net/sick/deductions and thats about it. My plan is actually to do the following when collecting evid...

A letter from company letter head, from the HR or Salary slips stamped and signed (Stamped = Official stamp of the company and not the date, signed = HR or the accountant or the financial controller) Thanks for your response. If I were to throw another question in the same direction. The Tier 1 Gui...

Hi there, Starting to gather evidence for my Tier 1 General application and just want to clarify a couple things based on other people's experience. The Tier 1 General Guidance notes dictates that one form of previous earnings evidence must be supplied by your employer. So this can either be a lette...

As an extension to this question (I don't want to start a new topic), when gathering evidence for previous earnings, one piece of evidence I will use is my bank statements (to be signed and stamped by the bank and printed on official bank stationary). Is it sufficient to show one bank statement filt...

thanks for the info.... However,i have bachelors degree from O.U, A.P india... in PBS , when i select 'Professional examination' it shows my UnIV and its giving 35 points... but is that acceptable, if i apply like that? In the current online PBS calculator? The current online PBS calculator hasn't ...

needhope wrote:But how is possible to claim 35 points for bachelors ?? if that was the case, many would have qualified last year itself... can u please explain?

30 points = Bachelors
5 points = UK experience.

If your degree isn't from the UK then its only 30 points.

Yes.. Do you mean that I can claim 35 points with the current system? Is this true? then amazing!! Bachelors degrees are only worth 30 points in the new system. But 35 if the degree was from a UK university (30 points for Bachelors + 5 points uk experience). If the online PBS calculator recognises ...

[quote="dev106"]Hello friends, I’m confused with PBS calculator as when it comes to the new rules (after 6th April) for the initial in country tier-1 general applicants. How many points ALL TOGETHER are needed for a person to qualify for tier-1 General? 75 or 95????? Regards, Newbieï

I'm not sure if anyone knows, but I'll ask this anyway. I'm reluctant to start a new forum thread, because there already is about 20 about the new Tier 1 changes. I will be applying and paying for the Tier 1 General the moment the changes are implemented (on Apr 6th or 7th). I am applying out of UK ...

Hi Guys, I need your help with in this please. According to new rules: The new points table will not apply to migrants who are in the UK in one of the following immigration categories: • Tier 1 (General), with leave granted before 6 April 2010 • The Highly Skilled Migrant Programme (HSMP) • W...

Yes the NZ multiplier is very generous, considering Australia doesn't get one at all, and there is not a massive difference in wages between the countries. I would expect NZ's to be changed in the upcoming review. When I applied for Tier 1, you could get the max points for salary on around $NZ40k, ...

In my opinion, this makes it alot easier to get the Tier 1, since they relaxed the education requirement rules. A 29 year old or younger person having a bachelors degree should earn a minimum of around 47k INR per month (assuming £=75). If 30-34yrs old then he/she should be earning around 65k INR ...

Heh. Maybe an annoucement today? Taking into account two lost days from the strike on the 8-9th March, then add two days to March 16th to give March 18th? Again, all speculative theories. You are a fortune teller, aren't you? :) Made logical sense :P. Funny thing is I'm writing this at 3am. I woke ...

tier 1 requires minimum earnings of 25k !!!!! That's absolutely brilliant for me. Looks like I should be able to travel on the Tier 1 visa, and I'll apply right on the 6th April 2010. The key point for me is that they are NOT change the multipliers for the time being. So whatever the multiplier you...

Hi UKdiscuss, what your worrying abt, after 6th they just increasing fees.. if your worrying abt anything else(previuos earnings), dont panic. Well better to be informed than not. So far, if the rumours are to be believed, then changes are in the works. Although you're right in saying that the only...

Hi All, I am planning to apply for the tier 1 during the first week of april, showing the past three months of transactions, but unfortuanately my bank statement might reach me only after 5th!! Hence please let me know if its advisable to apply on or after 6th? Is there any recent updates from the ...

I have heard through various immigration agencies that the Government was intending to make an announcement on 16 March 2010 regarding the MAC recommendations, with changes to be implemented on 6 April 2010. I appreciate that any such comments are speculative and that nothing is certain until the a...

They might even loosen the requirement for the maintenance a little bit, by waiving this requirement for applicant with firm job offer. However I am not sure if they are going to implement this by 6th April, since until now they haven't announce whether or not to accept the recommendation. Probably...

Thanks arsenal49 and GeneNZ for your views ... But I can't be able to apply before apr 5th as I did not have 2800GBP maintained in my bank account for past 3 months ... I am maintaining that amount from past few days only. My main doubt is if they are going to hike this amount to say 4000GBP or so,...

Hi, I am planning for tier 1 general VISA. I am planning to maintain required amount of 2800 GBP for next 3-4 months in my bank account. I have done PG and qualify for VISA based on age and past earnings. Now I am thinking of new changes that may affect me from april 6th. Can we expect changes in t...

If and when these changes do get announced, do they come into force immidiately or is there are future dated start date ? Reason I ask is that I am waiting for my IELTS and have booked myself for an in person appointment at PEO Sheff on 19th April. If the changes get announced with a future date an...

eitherway, i hate the pressure, and i could have sit the IELTS exam last month, but i wanted to take it easy, one step at a time.. if i knew about these changes, i would've hurried up, and get it over with by now.. i guess that's the story of my life :) anyway, lets hope it all ends ok.. thanks for...

oh ok, there is hope :P either that, or higher multiplier or even if exchange rate changes a little because i'm only missing about 1k in earnings. . but i doubt they will make it easier (= higher multiplier), they will probably make it harder (= lower multiplier) because of introduction of bachelor...

its 80 points total with master's degree (35) and 28 years old (10) (+20 for english and maintenance funds = 100) I actually applied and recieved my Tier 5 YMS visa before I found out about these rule changes. I also found out through a friend in the UK. They don't tend to advertise these things un...

Indeed it is still unofficial, with the number of changes on the Tier-1, I suspect there is possibility for slight delay on the implementation (if they accepted the recommendation). Basically I'm waiting to see what the changes are (particularly with regard to the previous earnings attribute, which...
