The 15 month window for you will be 27 Oct 2007 to 26 Jan 2007 -based on strict interpretation of the rules. Why dont you apply in the first week Jan itself so that Oct 2007 salary is used in the computations? Any constraints on that?bluespeed08 wrote:Can someone please throw light on 15 month window before the date of applying for tier-1? I tried looking for the information but could not get any clear answer. Any inputs would be very helpful!
Say I apply on Jan 27 2009, would Oct 2007 month salary be considered in the 15 month period?
In the guidance notes it says -
"The applicant can claim points for previous earnings in any single, consecutive 12-month period during the 15 months immediately before the date of applying."
Since I worked only till March 2008, each month salary is crucial! Thanks for your time and help.
I don't think it is a constraint. Please see guidance, I have a given an extract for one point.UKaspirant2009 wrote: So February 2008 is the 15th month. Will this be fine?.
Guidance says:
82. The applicant can claim points for previous earnings in any single, consecutive 12-month period during the 15 months immediately before the date of applying . An applicant may claim points for a 12-month period of earnings outside of this 15 months only in very limited circumstances. These are if the applicant can show that he/she has been:

Regarding maintenance funds, I also had funds in my savings account (HSBC Flexi Saver) on top of Current account. So I am planning to send both the statements which together would have the balance needed. My question is besides these two statements do we need a letter from bank also stating that I have funds? Since my bank is hesitant to give this, would be it fine if we just submit statements? Any suggestions?push_hsmp wrote:- use OANDA figure of Sep 15 2008bluespeed08 wrote:In this case, I will use salary from Oct 15 2007 till March 31 2008.

You are right. I overlooked what you were saying here. If the period of earnings is less than 12 months then you need to use rates for the last day of the period you are using. i.e. if it is six months then use the rate at the end of six months.bluespeed08 wrote:But guidance also seems to suggest that we can use period of less than 12 months (point # 87). So in this case, I thought I can use my period as 6 months instead of 12 months. And use OANDA rates at the end of the 6-month period. It's not very clear in the guidance. Any opinions on this?

If any of these rates (March 31 or Sep15) do not make substantial change to your earning and you stay in the same band then you can choose to be conservative. The case worker will use his own calculations. If you want to use 31st March rates for claiming points for the higher band then I would advise you to make a mention of the clause on the Guidance note in your cover letter.

bluespeed08 wrote:Good question! I am confused..as to options available as tier 1, tier 1 with full time study provision, PSW tier 1 and sponsored tier 2.
Actually, we can start to work from June itself since the last term is just a report. But on student visa, I won't be able to work as a full time employee if I get a job in June. I can then start only in september and no employer is gonna wait till you get tier-1. So tier-1 would help in case if any employer shows interest
If I apply now without full time study provision, I am on borderline of earnings but would qualify if I apply soon. So the hurry! With full time study provision, there is no issue on earnings. Only confusion then is when do we get tier-1 now or in Sep. Since septmeber would be late and don't want to miss on any opportunties. Being optimistic in this market
What do you suggest?

I don't understand this Clause 93 - "If the applicant has not finished their studies when they submit their application, we will consider the date of their application to be the end-date of their studies."

This means that if you are student say even today and apply forTier-1 then they would assume that your studies finish today and you will be able to exclude the period from the beginning of your course till date from the 15 month period from today.
Hope this clarifies the issue.
Show your earnings for the period Dec1 2007 to Nov 30, 2008kandasamy wrote:Hi All
Good morning.
I am planning to apply for tier1 application by end of this month. I am having a doubt in my pervious earning section.
I planning to show my pay slips from January 2008 to Dec 2008, but in the month of December 2008 month no money is credited to my Indian salary because there was a due from the company and company is recovered the due from my December month salary. I am having the salary slip with all the details and it has mentioned the total earning was recovered towards the company Due and the net pay as 0.
In this case I can show the pervious earnings from Dec 2007 to Dec 2008 instead of showing from January 2008 to Dec 2008.
Please clarify the above point.
