Question was on choosing Band. Not on calculating Total earnings.

8 for UK band.

Total earnings formula = Sum of (Earning x Conversion Rate to GBP x applicable upflit ratio).

OK?

Cheers!

1. Anything declared/mentioned on your payslip can be included.
2. No chance!
3. No
4. Nothing.. sorry

Hi All, Does anyone know the rules of Entry Clerance (EC) for those who in different country for long term (Work Permit holders). I found below text on HSMP guide: The entry clearance application should be submitted to the British Embassy, High Commission or Consulate in either your country of origi...

8 vs 4, 8 is clearly strongest. Since you worked majority of times in UK, you should choose UK band for judging your Earnings points. Had it been 6 Vs 6 then the band which benefits you should have been chosen. Below is the Caseworkers guidelines on Past Earnings - If the applicant has lived and wor...

My forumula of calculation is: Sum of (Earning * Curreny coversion rate * Uplift factor) at all the locations. Home Office wants earnings (Salary/Wages) and it proof. All the components paid should be part of your salary slip and data should match with Bank Statement and Tax Statement (if you sendin...

Chest X-ray is sufficient. Immigration does not take long, I have been thorugh in max 25 mins.

How long lugguage claiming will take, it depends on Airlines, its service and the number of passenger.

Cheers!

The information available on website is confusing :x . Tier1 ( http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/workingintheuk/pointsbasedsystem/ ) says: If EC will be applied in India then Tier1. EC guidelines on HSMP manual is: The entry clearance application should be submitted to the British Embassy, High Comm...

This is an eye opener, completly opposite to my understanding. Thanks for your reply. I need to study the guidelines more.

Cheers!.

I have learnt that EC is always applied in home country. Can you please substantiate your understanding on this? That would be a great help.

Cheers!

Case work guide on PE suggests Pro-rata: against the country where the applicant has spent the longest period, on a pro-rata basis. What if exactly 6 months in each country? Rule is: If the situation should arise where the applicant has worked for exactly six months in each country consecutively, to...

The last point suggest it should be Tier-1 because EC is always applied in home country, except unknow exceptional circumstances.

I still have more than a year long validity of French visa. I would be claiming Earning points on wages/salary received in France.

Cheers!

Hi there, Indian passport holder working in France since Oct 07 and would be applying HSMP/Teir1 soon. Can someone confirm If I am eligible for Tier1 or HSMP. You can only apply for Tier 1 (General) - highly skilled worker now if you are: in the United Kingdom and want to make an initial application...

You will find the guideline notes wherever you would have read about HSMP. Applying HSMP has no dependency on your current visa status. If you are in position to claim requisite 75 points then you are eligible to apply. All approved applicants will have to go to their home country to apply for EC. G...

Thanks for your reply. I got more information on UKVisa site later. However, I have few more queries. Can someone please address following queries on DEPENDENT? 1. Knowledge of the language (english). Does dependet need to appear in IELTS or equivalent exam? A letter from Univ should be sufficient a...

Hi Folks, I have gone through majority of the page of BIA site and this forum. However, I am still not able to understand many points related to Dependent. 1. When a dependent can apply? Along with main applicant's initial application or after the initial approval of main applicant or after main app...

Online statements are not acceptable. If printed then they must be authorized by bank.

I have got following content from HSMP guidelines on Age Category. The points can be claimed provided the applicant falls within the particular age band indicated above, on the date of their application. Points can only be awarded to individuals who are still within the age band when their HSMP appl...

Hello there, I have lived in UK for close to two years, but not in Glasgow. However, I can certainly reply to your email. I have heard Glasgow is one of the main city in UK, a happening place indeed. I assume 1K or 1200 would be good enough for a couple to stay, I used to manage with my wife in GBP ...

Such cases are very risky as candidates are on deputation from India to UK and are not getting Tax Statement/Certificate. I have been in this situation and refrained from applying HSMP. Still not applied as rules are in transition phase :-D They (candidates) can not show their allowances as part of ...

Hi JavaGuy,

I am also in UK since Aug 2005, through an India company. Now I also want to get a permanent offer.

Can you also share the details of UK based consultant at DELETD?

Thanks.

Thank you very much VP for bringing ITR into discussion otherwise I had thought of sending only Form-16 to HO. I will follow all your suggestions to claim points under Past Earning category. My first hsmp application was rejected by Ho because I had not provided either Form-16 or ITR. Thanks again. ...

Thanks for your quick response. Did you mean that as soon as I get the Form-16 from employer, file the Income Tax Return (ITR) to local I-T department to get ITR receipt and enclose both Form-16 and ITR receipt to HSMP Team? ITR is always filed with original copy of Form-16. Then I would have to sen...

Hi, I would like to know evidences you provided to claim points under Past Earnings category. My first HSMP application was rejected due to lack of proof from Income-Tax authority side on earned income. I had enclosed Salary slips and Bank statements but HSMP team had rejected saying that I didn't p...

Hi, Here is my take on your question. You show all your income but salary slips must all these earnings. HO people always want a proof from Tax authority side that earned income was always subjected to Income tax. I would suggest you to go through the Information Broucher of HO office (applicable fo...
