Tier1 Early Extension

[kishorechowdary]

Hi Guys

My Tier1 Visa Expires on May 8th 2012.

I want to apply for a extension on april 5th 2012 ie approx 35 days Before.

Can i apply 35 days before my visa expiry date??

I get my salary every month of 27th but i can request my employer to pay me on april 2nd or 3rd and show it as april salary.

Will this create any problem?? ie getting salary in a diff date than the regular date which is 27 th of the every month.

I will send the bank statement later may be after one week.

I just want to avoid the new fees hike & apply before april 5th.

If this whole thing works i will be able to save 1000£.

Please let me know your inputs.

You can apply upto 35 days earlier no problem. And I do not think that will affect your ILR either depending on how soon you entered the UK after your EC date

Are you trying to pull a fast one here ? if you will be paid in beginning of april, will that be march salary or april ? if march then whats the point of delaying ? if april then find me a job in your company

if its april salary then you will be asking your employer to pay for work you havent done, CW can see through it

Hi Guys

This will be April's salary.

I need to include the april salary also in order to get 35 points in the previous earnings section.

Will it be a problem if i get my march salary & april salary on march 27th itself.

ie getting next months salary in this month.

or get my April's salary on 2nd or 3rd of april which will be 25 days early than my normal pay date which is 27th of every month.

If i am able to post my application on or before april 5th i will be saving 1000£.

If the whole thing looks risky then i have to prepare to loose 1000£ extra & apply after april 27th after i get paid.

Please let me know your insights on this.

I am struggling to understand how your payroll works !!! Can you instruct them when would you like to get paid for which month? Thats what I am getting from your post.

There has been debate around this already (search the forum) but I am not in favour of using the salary for which you have not yet worked. In your case, wanting to claim April 2012 salary and appear/post the extension on 27th March.

You are suppose to claim points BASED ON YOUR PREVIOUS EARNING and not expected future earnings.

OK Guys

Here we go.

Every month we get paid on 27th of the month but after i requested my employer they said that they can pay my april salary on 2nd or 3rd of april instead of the usual april 27th.

So in this case i am not getting paid for my future work but i am getting paid bit early in the same month.

Please let me know if you want any further details reg this.

Still it is future work !!! Guidance says - "PREVIOUS EARNINGS" NOT CURRENT NOT FUTURE - SIMPLE " PREVIOUS EARNINGS" Like I said we have had debate around this in separate topic on this forum. I am not inclined to work on the basis of April salary in your case but there have been different opinions. So what you opt for will be your call

Better to lose a grand than risk your extension, if you are paid on 27th & you apply on 28th claiming the whole months salary then that would have been acceptable coz you dont really want to discount the whole months earning for sake of 2 days before the month actually finishes

but what you are trying to do is claim the whole months salary in advance after working for only 2 days which throws the concept of previous earnings out the window really

anyway there will be huge rush of applications before 5th april so a greater chance for docs to go missing while being handled at UKBA

On a different note, its £1000 & NOT 1000£ please

no offense meant but writing figures like 1000£ could have "serious implications" mate

if you explain earnings on your covering letter like that then the CW will go "bloody immigrants" & stop just short of trashing the whole thing in the bin
