UK Experience Assessment

[tier_2_applicant]

Hi,

My question is regarding points for UK Experience. Do I need to submit any evidence for this?
I plan to show only 8 months earnings (pay slips and bank statements) as they would be sufficient to get me the required points. So how will I prove that I have worked for 12 months in the UK?
Should I show earnings for the entire 12 month period?

Please help.

Thanks.

UK experience points depend on the amount of money earned in UK, not on the number of months worked.

Read the Guidance carefully:

Applications for leave to remain where
the applicant has, or was last granted,
leave as a Highly Skilled Migrant, as a
Writer, Composer or Artist, Self-employed
Lawyer, or as a Tier 1 (General) Migrant
under the rules in place before 6 April
2010An applicant may claim points for previous
United Kingdom earnings if:
• he/she has scored points in the section for
previous earnings; and
• the earnings for which those points
were awarded were made in the United
Kingdom.
125. If an applicant has claimed points in
the section for previous earnings, and these
were for earnings made both in the United
Kingdom and outside the United Kingdom, at
least £16,000 of the earnings must be United
Kingdom earnings to receive the points for
UK Experience.
Applications for leave to remain where the
applicant has, or last had, leave as a Tier 1
(General) Migrant under the rules in place
on or after 5 April 2010 and including the
rules in place after 19 July 2010.An applicant may claim points for previous
United Kingdom earnings if:
• he/she has scored points in the section for
previous earnings; and
• the earnings for which those points were
awarded were made in the United Kingdom.

126. If an applicant has claimed points in
the section for previous earnings, and these
were for earnings made both in the United
Kingdom and outside the United Kingdom, at
least £25,000 of the earnings must be United
Kingdom earnings to receive the points for
UK.
127. There are no specifi c documentary
requirements for claims in this area as the
necessary documentation will have been
provided in respect of the Previous Earnings
assessment.

There is no clause that you need to show the earnings spread over 12 months.
If your salary is either £16000+ or £25000+ (based upon your initial application date) then you will score points even if you earned the salary in less than 12 months
