I am just concerned about the year 2011-2012, I am worried if I will be refused because my earnings were very low in this year.
It doesn't say anywhere in the application that I need to submit SA302 for the 5 years, but I read that people who don't take them are asked to submit them within 14 days.
Do not worry at all, nowhere they mention that you have to earn for the whole period above the claiming threshold. Just relax and sleep well and do update us once you its approved
.
SA302 I do not see that in your case they will ask it, but just to satisfied yourself if you want you can get this from HMRC and keep it with you as its kind of verify for mental peace. I think your earnings claim is very much straight forward and no issue at all. yes you are correct they never mention to provide SA302 and asking when there is some issues as this is the tax document which applicant could have as evidence.
in Immigration Directorate Instructions it says
"Please note that because tax documents are usually produced at the end of a
fixed tax period they will not necessarily show the entire period for which the
applicant is claiming previous earnings unless they are for the exact period
claimed. An applicant should therefore be cautious about using these documents
unless he/she is sure they show the exact amount of earnings for which he/she is
claiming points."
So I believe for straight forward application, its better not to provide this document initially, if we are confident that all taxes paid on time correctly. But good to keep one with you getting from HMRC.
