Tier 1 querries

[jamiluddin]

Hi,
My tier 1 visa will expire in 22nd April 2012. I will have to show 32000 pounds income for my extension. I fell short of 4000 pound from my main job ,but i worked part time in a restaurant. I got paid cash weekly ,got my payslip and i have put the net amount in my bank account every week and on my statement the transactions showed as 'RABA indian SAL' . I am little worried as i got paid cash. the accountant of the restaurant would issue me a letter saying that all my tax and NI have been paid if i tell him .Do you think it will be a good idea to take a letter from him.

My questions are
1. Will i have any problem as i got paid cash?

2 i dont have any job contract for this part time job ,do i need to submit any job contract letter?

3. Another question is that I will be in uk 10 yrs in Feb 2013 ,so i would be able to apply for ILR in Jan 2013 .Considering that can i apply for extension in Jan 2012 rather than wait until April 2012 ,I will show my income for the period of 5 th Jan 2011 -5th Jan 2012.

Thanks in advance

one my bank statement it shows as example

RABA indian sal 128.88
RAJ indian sal 100.08

IMHO, should be fine if the description clearly shows "sal", i.e.- salary.

[jamiluddin]

thank you sushdmetha ,the description shows ''sal'' clearly, but due short of space bank staff can not put the full word ''salary''. does this really matter?

[geriatrix]

No, it is self-explanatory.

Many banks follow the same practice - guess it's a software restriction (to save text space).

As i am working in 3 places ,do i need to take letter from all 3 employers ,do i need to submit job contracts for all 3 jobs , i have payslips for all 3 jobs and i can show all 3 job salary going to my bank account.

1. Already answered.
2. There is no requirement to provide an employment contract.
3. Any consecutive 12 months period within the 15 months preceding the date of application - as the policy guidance clearly states.

[jamiluddin]

Thanks Sushdmetha for your reply , Its a relief knowing that getting paid cash in part time job will not effect my application. As i have 2 jobs ,will my case be straight forward ,will it be ok to apply my extension application myself or its better to apply through agencies who takes a lot of money.

That's 13 months, not 12.

[jamiluddin]

if 1st january 2011 - 31st decmeber is 12 months period then how come 5th January2011- 5th january 2012 becomes 13 months ,could u explain please

[thebionicredneck2003]

Because you would have 13 payslips and not 12.


Kind Regards

I think you wanted to say 5 Jan 2011 to 4 Jan 2012. If your pay-month starts on the 5th (it should then end on the 4th of the following month presumably), and then your year will be 5 Jan 11 to 4 Jan 12, (i.e. 365 days) - but not on the 5th of Jan as that day will be the first day of the following month.

[jamiluddin]

my job contract is from 5th jan 2011-5th jan 2012 , i think i have to use pro rata to show salay upto 4th jan 2012 ,is that correct?

[jamiluddin]

1 started my job in 5th january 2011 and got paid on 31st january 2011. I will apply for tier 1 extension visa in april 2011. i will show my employment period from january 2011- december 2011. i want to know,which date will be counted as starting period,is it the date when i started work in january ie 5/1/2011 or the date when i got paid ie 31/1/2011.
Thanks
