Tier 1 extension - problems with income requirement

[u2duttydread]

Hi Everybody...this is my story. I'd like to know if there is anyway around the income hurdle that would that would allow me meeting required income for extension.

Entry Clearance- Dec 07
Entered UK - Sept 08
Visa Expire - Dec 4 09

Medical reasons prevented me from arriving in UK much earlier.

Worked 2 weeks temporary employment in oct 08
Full time job started Nov 3rd 08
Total income that will earned by in the 12 month period ending oct 31 is approx. 17,000

I heard that starting a part-time business could help with income not earned
I need to apply for FLR by Oct 31.

I have had extra funds wired from my home country into my bank account over the 12 month period.

Is it too late to register a business and have income paid in between now and end of October ?

Can the extra funds wired into bank account over the period considered as income

Income means earned income.

I don't think the extra income which you claimed outside UK while living inside UK is considered for extension appplications and that too while on tier 1 general visa...check with an immigration lawyer...

Also, whatever income you are planning to submit, it should be suppoerted with documents (proofs which are in acceptable format ny homeoffice). Just a bank statement mentioning the amount credited will not suffice for earned income...

Cheers

Chances are remote as UKBA will only considered EARNED income - from both part-time and full-time occupations. £17k is below the threshold and the monies which have been transferred across will not be considered unless you prove them to be a source of income. If you were to register a company, then earnings from the company will be considered but this can't be back-dated or pro-rated.

Live example.. which shows how the last 15months before expiry are very important to qualify for next extension.. to choose 12consecutive out of those 15..

Hi Mates,
I m new member who needs to know; is it necessary that salary or wage in cash form needs to be deposited 1 by 1 or some collective amount could be deposited?
Actually I m thinking to switch over Tier 1 (General) Migrant from PSW but problem is that I got my wage in cash form and some wages i deposited in the bank account and some not. But luckily some deposit are such that they are the sum of 6 wages (cash) and some are sum of 8 wages and some are of 4.
6 deposits are like this and then all the other are 1 by 1 in cash form.
If I say the HO case worker in written form that I didnt plan to apply for this and I did some deposits in collective wages form. Can u plz let me know would it be ok?
I am much woorried about it and atlast decided to seek guidance from u people.
I would be very grateful to all of u.
Kind Regards,
Bunti

Is it true that for extension applications, money earned outside the UK can not be considered for claimed earnings? I hold the view that one can use money earned outside UK, however you can't left up.

Please advise. Thanks
