For earnings use the classic converter for the date of the last day of earnings as advised by the guidance. I used the interbank exchange rate. I printed out a copy of the exchange rate on the day and one with the amount i was claiming converted. For maintenance funds, the OANDA rate as per guidance ...

No you cannot apply for another Initial Tier 1 visa when you current visa is still valid. Why can you not just go to the UK now with this Visa? And why don't you want an extension? Makes no sense. You won't be allowed to apply for Tier 1 as an initial if you are holding one, but current Tier 1 is ...

Hi Rajesh,

I would fill your first name as your name and surname as family or father's name. You can explain that your education papers present the name with family name first then your name. Is this common in your country? I know from vietnamese back ground, family name (surname) is first then middle name ...

If the benefits you are referring to are like cash payment as in a bonus. Then yes if this is paid within your claimed earnings period, it can be counted as part of your earnings. It is fine that there are two payslips for the same date/month. In your cover letter or past earnings explanation ...

I have payslips printed in header paper, signed and stamped.

As well as a letter from my employer confirming payments made.

Bankstatements show the funds deposited into my account on the dates as reflected on payslip. It should be ok hope it doesn't delay processing time.

Thank you.

Hi, This may not be an issue but I have a secondary source of income - temporary part time salary for consultation and assistance for a business. As it's not a big company the payslips and the stamp my employer has used are basic. Do you think this will be a problem? Also considering I have a full ...

Any chance you deposited the cash payments into bank?

Hi, I'm planning to make my application online on the 15th of September and send in all my supporting documentation within the next day or two. My bank statement is generated on the 15th of September online and so i cannot get the bank statement signed and stamped until the following day. Can i ...

My earnings claim is ending 14th September.

Does my letter from employer have t be dated the 15th?

My payslip will say earnings to 14th. Paydate is 15th but on my bankstatements it appears always on the 14th? Does this matter?

I am submitting payslips, bankstatements and letter from employer.

Hi, I am planning to submit my application next week on the 15th September. Does it matter if my evidence verification date is a date later than the application date? My monthly bank statement is produced end of the 15th so I won't be able to have it stamped and signed until the next day. Your help ...

I do need to apply the exchange rate which needs to be based on the last day of claimed earnings date. Thank you. To be on the safe side i think I should submit my application on the day or day after the last claim earnings period - which would be the end of pay period... 1 week after my pay day ...

Each pay period covers a week you have worked and one week in advance. Simple - it's a salary. My question is do I declare my earning Claim period the date my last payperiod Specifies or can I just say the paydate? If I have to use the end of pay period Would that mean I can't apply until after that ...
