Previous earnings

[bhavin_IT]

Hi,

I am in usa and i am looking to apply for Tier-1 visa. I am having a question regarding points on previous earnings. I am working since april 1st, 2008 till February 2009. I had a gap of two months in between this period. And i just finished a contract with my employer so i am not working anymore for now. If i apply for tier 1 visa on June 2009, can i show whatever i earned from April 1st, 2008 to Feb 2009 with 2 months gap.

Thanks in advance.

Whenever you apply, you can show a max of 12months earnings in the last 15months with any no of gaps... just u need to see that u have the required earnings band to qualify..

I'm sorry tvn_ramesh but the 12 months have to be any consequtive 12 months in the last 15 months from the date of application.

Please read the copy-pasted extract from the guidance notes from home office:

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:

- away from the workplace for a time during the last 12 months because of full-time study (initial applications only); or

- is currently in full-time study; or

- has finished a full-time course within the 12 months immediately before his/her application.
