ILR Earnings less than Tier 1 Ext. or 1st Tier

[trek]

Hi All

ILR Earnings less than Extension or 1st Tier, but above minimum threshold.

My query sounds similar to post, http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=117439

but my question is slightly on different note hence posted as a separate thread.

I am planning for future ILR and hence with my tier 1 ext appearance yet to happen in few days. I can change my claim of earning points in extension while I have time in hand, based on outcome of the responses from all Experts in this forum.

Scenario 1:
If ILR Earnings less than Extension, but points wise equal to 1st Tier 1 application, would there be a problem in ILR eligibility?

Example:
Point System: As on 2010 Dec - (80 pts is the minimum requirement)
1st Tier 1 : Pts Scored 85
Tier 1 Ext : Pts can claim 95
ILR : Pts Scored 85 (Assuming: Due to less Earning)

Scenario 2:
If ILR Earnings less than Extension, but points wise equal to 1st Tier 1 application, would there be a problem in ILR eligibility?

Example:
Point System: As on 2010 Dec - (80 pts is the minimum requirement)
1st Tier 1 : Pts Scored 85
Tier 1 Ext : Pts can claim 95
ILR : Pts Scored 80 (Assuming: Due to less Earning)

Please let me know does it matter, what will happen in
Scenario 1, Scenario 2

Tier 1 Oct 2012 Guidance form says:
"84. An applicant may claim for a period of earnings of less than 12 months if they have earned sufficient funds to claim the necessary
points."

Any suggestion would of great help.
Hope the responses will help other people with similar query.


Regards,
Trek
