Why not? Do what you can / must to qualify for extension.

There is no restriction on how many jobs one can do as a Tier 1 (General) migrant.

Apply whenever you wish to but UKBA will only give you extension from the date of your application and not from the end date of your visa unless you apply in the last month of your visa expiry.

i have my salary account as a joint account with my wife and i will be using that only for showing the funds and filing her dependent visa...i hope thats alrite or can there be any problems due to it - i mean does it need to be on my name only??????

No problem with that. I have a similar sort of arrangement and got my visa and extension both using the same account.

Thanks a lot buddy..i was reading another thread related to points required after april 2011 for extension, it seems you need 100 if your requirements was 100 and 95 if you applied before july....in my case m lil confused as the requirement was 95 however i scored 100 bcoz of my earning...can you advice in case i decide to apply after april would the required points be 100 or 95????


thanks to clarifyy this is my last queryy::(((

Its not changing for you from April. New changes will be mainly related to new applicants.
Use point based calcualtor to know what you need to score to extend your visa.
