Extend Tier 1 Visa using overseas earning

[amrhossam2]

Dear All

I have UK Tier 1 general visa which is valid till Aug 2012.
I travelled to UK on Dec 2011, and planning to apply for extention on next July , and that mean i'm going to have 7 Months for UK earning , so could i use my previous earning done outside UK during the 5 months before travelling to UK , of course there is factoring for the previous earning doie outside UK , and only exchange rate will apply to transfer what i have earned into £
so it should be as following
-7 months earning inside UK
-5 Months earning ouside UK (salary * exchnage rate ONLY)

So is it valid to use the overseas salary earning before tarvelling to UK to score point , does any one done that before ?

Appreciate your confirmation on that issue

Kind Regards
Amr

you can use your overseas earning, I applied last week with 3 months' overseas earnings. get your payslips attested and bank statements on official stationary with bank sign,stamp. if possible get employer's letter listing gross salary for the 5 months. chances that UK BA will contact your employer to verify your salary details are high so talk to your employer about this.
