Thnx for your replies Ikon and SYH,
my complaint was not on the new rules and old rules that they have changed. But it was completely on changing the version's of guidance notes and making some clarifications as they go along.
for example:
Guidance notes version 4.0 Annex c – Points scoring area (What if your working pattern does not fit this model) says
If you have lived and worked in more than one country during the past 15 months we will normally assess your income over a 12-month period against the country where you have spent the longest period, on a pro-rata basis. For example we consider a period of up to 12 months in the last 15, so that if you have spent 8 of the months in the United Kingdom and 4 in Nigeria, we will take your earned income in the United Kingdom, divide it by eight and multiply it by 12 to give an annual income figure. You will then be allocated points appropriate to that figure. You need to submit the appropriate forms of evidence for consideration (see below).
Guidance notes version 5.0 Annex c – Points scoring area (What if your working pattern does not fit this model) point 41 says
If you have lived and worked in more than one country during the past 15 months we will normally assess your income over a 12-month period against the country where you have spent the longest period, on a pro-rata basis. For example we consider a period of up to 12 months in the last 15, so that if you have spent 8 of the months in the United Kingdom and 4 in Nigeria, we will take your earned income in the United Kingdom, divide it by eight and multiply it by 12 to give an annual income figure. You will then be allocated points appropriate to that figure. If you wish to have your earnings calculated on a pro-rata basis, you should supply supporting evidence to cover the full earnings period claimed. You need to submit the appropriate forms of evidence for consideration for the earnings period claimed (see below).
you can see the differences that I have underlined.
like wise
Guidance notes version 4.0 under Annex C – Points scoring area
Introduction and Points Available
You can claim points for your previous earnings obtained from your work.
We will assess your gross earnings before tax over a total period of up to 12 months out of the 15 months immediately prior to your application. The earnings can be for any 12 month period out of the last 15 months. This applies if you are in salaried or non-salaried employment.
Guidance notes version 5.0 under Annex C – Points scoring area
Introduction and Points Available
27. You can claim points for your previous earnings obtained from your work.
28. We will assess your gross earnings before tax over a total period of up to 12 months out of the 15 months immediately prior to your application. The earnings can be for any consecutive12-month period out of the last 15 months. There can be gaps in employment within this 12 month period. However, the cumulative earnings total will still need to meet the earnings threshold claimed against. This applies if you are in salaried or non-salaried employment. You should indicate the start and end date of the period claimed on the application form. If you claim for a period exceeding/outside the 12 months out of a 15-month period prior to the application date, we will assess the 12 months directly prior to the application date.
Now you can see how much they have added in the new version. By seeing the discussion boards you know, how many people might have been affected with this 2 contraversial statements. Like this there are so many statements and this is just an example.
Guys, we have to fight back. thats what I can say. If they would have posted the chages everything at once, you can imagine how many people might have made successful applications. This is completely a mistake by homeoffice.
hope this helps guys......
need your advices and suggestions for this great fight and move.
..Who can be blamed now ..none other than HO
