That's exactly what is being suggested - luckily your application fell into the hands of an "incompetent" caseworker who has neither read the current policy guidance nor the immigration rules (both of which no longer mention uplift ratio or earning bands for different countries)! i know w...

That is a mistake so please don't assume this applies to others who may be reading this thread. It's either a mistake by the ECO or a mistake by you (insofar that your earnings are sufficient without an uplift and you were not aware of this). Anyway, well done! Like I said, my case worker confirmed...

This is my understanding too. But why the case worker said the opposite??????????

The topic you quote refers to applications under consideration before Tier 1 (General) scheme was closed for new migrants. The policy was amended after that (April 2011). Thanks sushdmehta! Make sense now. But I still dont know why my case worker told me twice that I CAN USE the uplifting.... :shock:

When you say "caseworker" are you referring to an immigration advisor? I hope you didn't pay them any money for the obviously incorrect information. Hi Mulderpf, The case worker contacted me first as i have the earning evidence missing. So i told the case worker my situation that I have e...

Lucapooka is correct. There is nothing called as a upliftment ration any more. Your earnings should be converted to UK pounds and thats it. -H Hi hussainkothari, thanks for the reply. I was wondering too as i didnt see any relevant info about uplift ration as well in the Policy Guidance. However, t...

You can't apply an uplift to extension applications and given that only extensions are possible now that Tier 1 is closed, the uplift ratio scheme has finished. The guidance has been re-written to reflect the rules as amended so please read this. Thanks Lucapooka for the 1st quick reply, do you mea...

Hi there, I am currently applying T1 extension but part of my previous earnings during last 15 months were made in China. As I was so confused by the T1 extension eligibility webpage about earnings: How we adjust overseas earnings An uplift ratio will not be applied to any earnings made while you we...
