Can I apply Tier i extension from India.

Hi
I’ve got successful Tier 1 visa stamped from INDIA (Delhi) by 25 April 2009 and it granted for three years expiring by 24 Apr 2012. Since during that period I was in job and having some major family responsibilities so not went to UK for job. Finally last year I went to UK and worked there for around 4 months and due to some family circumstances back to India again.

Now my Tier 1 visa is about to expiry and planning to be applying for renewal from India. Do I apply for visa renewal from India?

Now I’m not sure how to calculate the earnings and points.

Can anyone suggest me how I can manage my Indian earnings and UK earnings both to meet the requirement. Because India earnings when initially at time of fresh application was meeting the band it was 8.5L and I’ve got 40 points for that. Now I’m not getting any provision to get that comparative earning band (uplift ratios) in point base calculator.

Do I need to bypass the earnings calculation and I can proceed with 9.5L earnings for extension.

Maintaining found and UK experience is OK for me. I’ve 12 month 8 month Indian salary slips and 4 months UK salary slip. But total Indian and UK money equal to around 16000 Pounds only.

Finally,
1. Can I apply extension from India.
2. Is the uplift ratios will work if I’m meeting all condition as before on time of fresh application in Apr 2009.

If you know any way out Pls help me to find the solution. my email Id is chandrashar@gmail.com .

There is no possibility of an extension in India. The extension can only be done while you are physically present in UK.

You can claim overseas income from India but I don't think that the uplift ratio is applicable in your case now. Need 2nd opinion.

No you can't. You can only extend from the UK. I think you will find reading the Policy Guidance document on the UKBA website very helpful.

You can't extend you visa from India and you can't apply the uplift ratio for an extension.
