Are you saying that you entered the UK for the first time in June 2011 but that your visa is expiring in November 2011? You delayed your entry for a very long time?

Hi,
Sorry for the delay, yes i had some personal issues, due to which i couldnt use the visa effectively..

so can you please suggest if i can show india salary for extension with out any uplift ratio..

Thanks
Vijay

You can use the Indian salary but an uplift ratio can't be applied. Given that when you apply, you are permitted to use any continuous 12 months out the previous 15 months, you should look at your historical salary and decide when is the best time to apply. It might be worth applying early if you can scrap together more points from your previous salary by doing this. Obviously, if you are working now, and have a good salary, it's worth leaving it as late a possible in order to maximize your points.

can one use overseas earnings even if they are from non uk based organization and physically present overseas.
the immigration solicitor i spoke to told me that overseas income will count only if they were from uk based company or organization.
working for overseas company and staying overseas will not be counted at all for extensions.

pls pls. reply becuz i am also in great danger of loosing my visa.

Hi,

Is it okay if an applicant is planning to apply for early extension with say 'Only 6 months payslips' from the last 15 months earning period ? This 6 months payslips are enough for me to qualify for extensiom.

I am Self employed (sole trader - no ltd) and planning for extension in next month and showing only 6 months payslips.

Will case worker reject my application in case if I apply with only 6 months payslips ?

Seniors, moderator, sushmehta.......Please share your valuable inputs.
This will help me and decide my stay in UK.

Regards,
Suresh

Hi Sureshep,

6 months from the last 15 months is fine, as log as you reached the income threshold in the 6 months you are using.

Kind Regards
