HSMP Extension - Tier 1 - Fund Maintenance Requirement

I'm back again and in full steam as I'm about to apply for extension for HSMP. The only thing I can say about Fund Requirement is that Home Office has gone mad and are completely insane specially with Tier 1.

Even HSMP Visa will not Guarantee you a job in UK, Important

Don't get fooled that once you have HSMP VISA you are on cloud 9. Employers are always one step ahead of you to filter you out. A new trend is emerging now. Employers are now refusing Job Applications on the ground that you MUST HAVE MINIMUM 2 YEARS OF VALIDITY left on your VISA. I'm not up to date ...

danonne you are quite close and your figure looks to be real. However there are plenty of other variables which affect the living in London. 1) If you are working out of London and take train to work then add 300+ for it (London comm. included) 2) Council Tax - I've doubt over your figure. make it 1...

Just to make clear the annual salary of maximum duration will be counted. So you will need to show the UK salary of 40k GBP for getting point for earnings. As said by Rex wait for 2+ months more and then you can be better off with Indian salary, if you are getting any benifit.

Say Chennai or you will be in trouble, and remember that Madras is Chennai now. 1 yr back for me it took 3/4 days. If interview then it may be delayed.
If you are applying 1-2 months before September then it may get caught in student VISA rush.
