Thanks a lot Ashraya.

Really appreciate it.

ashraya wrote:Abhishek:

I had last year attempted to get HSMP and failed with such circumstances. If we are paid an allowance in UK, that cannot be shown as Salary. Normally, firms giving Salary in India and Allowance in UK do not pay any NI or other taxes on the UK allowance. So, that cannot be shown as salary. Also, since the Person is in UK, you have to calculate the Indian salary straight converted into UK Pounds, without the multiplier. (The New Tier 1 Assessment tool does this automatically).

So, to use the multiplier, the person must stay in the same country. This was clearly mentioned in the rejection letter I got the last time.

Given that, it was deemed I did not qualify. I have changed employers after that, and now I am paid a straight UK salary and Allowance in India. That is how I now qualify for Tier 1, and am waiting for decision.

Ashraya

I have one doubt. One of my couleague is showing Indian Earnings where as he was was in UK and getting UK allowance as well. But his majority earnings were paid in India as he was with an Indian Software firm.

So is it necessary that the person who is showing earnings from Country A shohld be staing in the same country to show earnings.

Thanks in avance.

I called on 7th Apr, answer was has not been assigned to caseworker yet.
I called in 9th Apr morning, answer was with caseworker ,no decision yet.

Base on the assumption that HO was telling me the truth:
You can assume it has been assigned on 8th Apr even if my money being debited around 20th March, seems a bit slow though.

Nibbs,

How come you received reference number on same day as your payment processed? Did you get reference number over phone or by post? How did you pay? I had paid by postal order .

Hows everyone else getting reference number? By phone or post?

fardeen,

ur date of receipt at HO is same as mine so our timeline on processing should be close. Is yours initial application or FLR and is it using UK masters?
