Ok, just confirmed, I think i am fine- According to the policy guidance:


80. All the periods we specify are calendar
months (for example 14 January – 13
February).

Just to be clear, can you mention what earning period you plan to claim for and what date of the month(if monthly) is your salary deposited in your bank account? If you are planning to count the salary deposited on 30th Sep 2011(which is for the month of Sep 2011), the earnings period will start fr...

No - I surely should be able to claim earnings from

30.09.2011 - 29.09.2012 as it is a:

The applicant can claim points for
previous earnings in any single, consecutive
12-month period.



I think, I will sue the UKBA if they decide otherwise, considering the 0.08P that is in question.

And I am including my employment contract, letter explaining the £1 bonus from the accountant, bank statements with all funds including the £1, payslips on letter head, i sure hope that will be enough?

Also in my argument, I have actually earned that £1 within 12 months even if it was paid 2 weeks late? and I think bank statement showing first entry on 30th sept. should allow entries till 30th sept. this year?

I hope this should be fine?

.. so am looking to use letter from employer/Bank statements combo in lieu of the payslips/bank statement, since the payslips alone wouldnt be enough to include proof of the £1 bonus. Just wondering, does that mean that the £1 would appear in a bank statement which is outside the 12 months consecut...

I may be wrong in this, but make sure the 1£ is paid properly like tax and things. Just a word of caution as I am no expert in tax matters. Dont know how to ensure that tax and NI is paid for that 1£, although its employer's responsibility. Any gurus and moderators can explain i guess. Just to make...

If you have time before your application, you should definitely get the missing amount paid AND reflected in your bank statement and salary slip or whatever you provide as evidence of income. It does not matter that under your contract you are entitled to 35K, all that matters is that you receive 3...

Thanks guys, I have been able to get the my higher boss and he is getting the stubborn accountant to pay me a courtesy bonus of £1 to make up for her crappy choice of payroll software and write me a letter to UKBA to this effect, I have told her to write the letter for the past 12 months earnings an...

think from the Caseworker perspective....if he/she goes by the rule...she would think, " alright ok since the applicant is below the required band which is 35k i am gonna refuse it...i dont care what the below bands are and he qualifies for the bands below the required one or not" if i we...

Its very very pity to know such cases where companies fail to understand immigrant's concerns and tensions. In your case I would suggest, 1) Deal straight with the manager or company boss and explain your situation 2) If you have time for tier 1 renewal ask to put missing 8p into this month's salar...

I thought so too, although my HR Dept/Accountant isnt really having none of my explanations, she game me letter showing 34,999.92 as gross, and payslips that add up to same amount, Although there is 35K written in my employment contract. I did some tiny side jobs too, but i do not have any intention...

Are you good with respect to points with 34999? If yes, why worry? Make sure that netpay in payslip matches upto each penny with what is credited in your bank. Sorry for the half-baked information, the earning band i need to claim is for 35,000 - 49,999 I need to be in that band to get this renewal

UKBA Tier 1 (General) Earnings 34,999.92 = 35K?

I am on 35K on my company and was planning to put in my renewal for tier 1 in few weeks, but I noticed something on my payslip where the taxable earnings was 2916.66 instead of 2916.67 - I asked our company accountant about this (very arrogant lady) but she said that is how her payroll software work...
