I am planning to apply for Tier 1 UK Visa (General) under the new rules - 6th April 2010. I am currently working in UK for a Indian MNC company and under Tier 2 Intra company transfer. Basically I need a help and advice since I am scoring 70 points and just short of 5 points.
My annual salary comes to around GBP 33K and I am short of GBP 2000.
I want to provide the following details in support of my application:
Age: 28 (20 points)
Bachelor Degree: (30 points)
Previous UK work experience : (5 points)
Past 12 months of Earning:
Salary for 3 months in INDIA (BAND D): INR 120000
The GBP amount for the above Indian Salary is 1591.2 and converting it to UK equivalent comes to GBP 8433.36.
Past 9 months UK Salary of GBP 24500.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Salary in GBP for past 12 months : GBP 32933
So my past UK earnings points is 15 points.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Points scored : 70 points
Query:
In my case my company pays me an Indian component of INR 14000 per month while I am deputed in UK along with my UK Salary. They also show this component in the Gross UK salary.
Please find below my UK Salary structure:
Gross UK Salary: GBP 2700 (broken down as below)
Income:
Basic Maintenance Allowance: GBP 2500
India Pay: GBP 200
Deduction:
India Pay: GBP 350
Income Tax: GBP 200
---------------------------------------------------
Net Pay :GBP 2150
a) Is it possible to exclude the India pay amount of GBP 200 while declaring the UK Salary and declare the India component i.e. INR 14000 ( converting it to GBP 205 - converting it to UK equivalent i.e. multiplying with 5.3 = GBP 1086) along with the UK Salary?
b)Or is it that only my UK Salary is accepted while I am residing in UK?
c) Or can I apply from India considering my monthly average is around INR 40000?
This makes me eligible for the Tier 1 Visa.
I will need some valuable advice if I can apply it in this format.
Please help me immediately.
Thanks in advance.
