No need for any continuity here whatsoever. Use salary earned in during 12 consecutive months during preceeding 15 months. The employment does not need to be continuous within the 12 consecutive months.HSMP2008_JANUARY wrote:You have to show continues earning for 12 months of last 15 months from the date of submitting your application. if you can earn enough point by showing just few months ( say 8 to 10 months) will also be fine provided its continues.
Why are you mixing Tier-1 with ILR now? Can you please clearly state what your query is regarding ?- ILR or Tier-1thaman wrote:So does this mean....when applying for ILR...if we have gap in employemet it will not be taken against us?
coz for ILR their is no salary points etc....in 5 years if I have a gap of 3 & 4 months separately i.e. not working & rest period employed...is it considered as negative?
I am not questioning your right to raise any question here. You are free to discuss anything relevant you want. But we need to ensure that if the person posting the original question is still seeking clarifications:thaman wrote:Well the ques originally was for T1 but I dont see any issue in discussing with members the effect the scenario might have on an ILR application!
Forum is for disucssing any possible immigration topic...I am just trying to workout if the period of unemployement while on T1 will have ay effect on ILR application...which will be the case for anyone on HSMP/T1 today or tomorrow....
then it is not a good idea to add a dimension to the question/discussions. The member seems to have a very basic query and when someone adds things which are very different from the original question his query might get lost in disussions on unrelated additional question.Thank you for your replies, unfortunately I am still confused. I humbly request, seniors of the forum to reply
nothing to worry i showed 7 months salary... gaps no problemashokkru wrote:HI
I have to apply for Tier 1 Extenstion.
I have a doubt about the earning
To meet 20K - I will have to show the payment from April 2008 to March 2009 as I earn approximetly 1.5K every month.
In the last 12 months, I have not worked for AUG SEP 2008.
Even though there is a gap., the amount meets the criteria of 20K
Will this gap in my earning effect my VISA?????????
Thanks in advance
it has to be contious months for caliming points. for example you can earn 20k in 4 months. then its fine, you can show 4 months salary which is 4 months continous without any gap in between. but you can not show for example say some salay in january and then again from june to december with a gap of few months. in your case you said, you earn around 1.5k month. then it means you need near about 12 months to claim 20k. now if there is gap in august and september then your earning point will start from october. anything before that will not be counted. now do you think you can earn enough money to claim poin from october to april? if thats the case then its fine. otherwise, you have to show atleast some amounts on those months which you were unemployed. atleasr some sort of odd jobs will do as well. but you can't be unemployed. consult with some solicitors before you send your application. dont waste money and time based on assumption. good luck.ashokkru wrote:HI

push_hsmp wrote: You can claim for any 12 consecutive months falling in the last 15 months. i.e. if you apply on 1st April 2009 then you can choose the following combination of 12 months (I am just using first days of months there are a number of combinations possible):
January 1 2008 to Dec 31 2008
Feb 1 2008 to Jan 31 2009
March 1 2008 to Feb 28 2009
April 1 2008 to march 31 2009
Once you have selected the 12 consecutive month period you can chose any number (consecutive or not) of months within that 12 month period to claim points for earnings. This means that you could have gaps in your employment.
one consecutive period Correct. But it talks about consecutive period and not about earnings from EVERY month of that period of 12 months. So you are free to select any period consisting of 12 consecutive months in last 15 months and claim salary for any months within that 12 month period irrespective of breaks in employment.Earnings must be for one consecutive period, and the applicant should indicate on the application form the start and end date of the earnings period being claimed. For example, the applicant can request that we consider the first six months of the fifteen months immediately prior to their application being received. However, we cannot consider the first six months, exclude the middle three months, and include the final six months within the fifteen month period. If the applicant claims for a period outside/exceeding the twelve months out of a fifteen-month period prior to the application date, then the twelve months directly prior to the application date should be assessed.
