For point 1 - It is clearly mentioned that 100 points will not apply to extension application.

I haven't read about point 3 - Insurance contribution. What does it mean? Isn't NI is being paid as employer's and employee's contribution separately?

I am very confident that you can go for administrative review.

Why did you write Math/Eco on Form?
Is your degree mentioning Math/ECO as special subjects?

This is very strange case of rejection I have never heard of such rejection before.

I am preparing Tier 1 dependent application for my 1 year old kid. Understand that I have to sign on behalf of child as child is one year old. The confusion is that there are boxes above signature where name has to be put. I am confused whether it should be name of child or parent?

Hi, I am preparing dependent visa application. I am applying for Tier 1 and currently under Tier 2. I am confused whether section F of dependent application should be filled in? I have feeling that it is not required as I am applying for Tier 1 dependent, but still feeling that I should fill it. Ple...

Let me clarify one thing - I am not talking about some tax refund you claim if you go back to India within two years and don't plan to come back in next 12 months. I question is regarding Living allowances paid by Indian employer which are not taxed as they are allowances in the first two years. Not...

keepsmiling,

I also read that but I thinks that is not valid now because -
1. this was from HSMP days
2. Point based calculator recognizes earning in each country separately.

Sai, Thanks for informative post. I have few queires 1. How long does it take to get the appointment for same day visa. Can we get appointment in a week's time if we don't go through solicitor? 2. If I show indian salary slips & bank statements, is it likely that they will delay the decision for...

Dear Moderator,

I agree with your statement that earnings are considered for calender month. So what happens in this case, uplift ratio can't be applied to 6 days when some one was in india?

Thanks a lot for response.

Has anyone claimed like this before?

Noticed that some section of dependent guidance talks about proof of address for depenedents. I am not sure whether it is required in my circumstances. I am planning to move from Tier 2 to Tier 1 and have two dependents (spouse and a kid). Do I need any address proof for them in UK?

Hi Sushil,

Are you sure, what conditions of new VISA makes it different ?

Has anyone experienced this?

Indian IT companies pay tax free allowances in first two years to intra company transferees. What happens to these tax benefit if one moves to Tier 1 Visa before completing two years?

Has anyone moved to Tier 1 from intra company visa this year?

I am applying for Tier 1, has one confusion, I was in singaproe from Nov 17 to Dec 13 on business visa and salary was paid on Nov 30 and Dec 31 as usual. Can I break Nov and Dec salary in two portion - Nov - In India (apply uplift ratio) Nov - In Singapore (do not apply uplift ratio) Dec - In Singap...

There was a document from UKBA, which expained changes from 6th April. This document clearly stated that one can not gross up the salary to consider taxes. We can not add tax advantages to show equivalent gross. As Sushd said, gross should ge shown on salary slip/employer letter document.

How can you apply uplift ratio for the entire Indian earning? your passport will show that you were in UK in that month.

Hi Ali, Thanks for your response. All salary slips are on month end and payment to bank account is on the last day of the month. So How do I allocate amount to Singapore Visit? Also, in the UK salary slip for Feb, Gross is 2500, net is 500 because I took 2000 GBP as advance in cash, which was deduct...

Hi All,

How long does it take to get the appointment?

Salary is paid monthly on monthend. If you don't wish to consider 24 months peirod, will you prorate the earning of 6 days ? Bank statement will show full earning.

I have still pro rata query outstanding. Also to add to keepsimiling's commnet, If I qualify marginally without uplift ratio, then still is it advisable to apply uplift ratio (to avoid any other deficiency due to points)? You have to declare where you were physically present during earning period, s...

Hi Ali and Sush, Thanks for guidance. I have the same feeling while reading Home office guuidance. I have some more confusion. 1. I was in Singapore on business visa for 28 days spanning 13 days in november 2010 and 15 days in dec 2010. My salary was paid in india as usual on end of the month. I hav...

How do you identify the earning during those 24 days for not applying uplift ratio? Do you prorate the earning for that month? I was in Singapore on Business visa for 1 month (15 days in each month). It seems that I can also not apply uplift ratio.

If I wish to apply on 15/05/2010 for Tier 1, which period will be counted as 15 months -

A. Feb 1 2009 to April 30 2010 OR
B. Feb 15 2009 to May 14 2010.

Could not decide this from homeoffice guidance. Please help.

How did you get the documents back? Did you provide prepaid envelope? I heard from some people that prepaid envelope is required.
