If you are in UK less than 12 months, then you should show £800+£1600 and if you are here more than 12 months, £800+£533

The link you sent is for people applying from outside Uk. But thats fine as an indicator.

Thanks a ton for the replies. One last thing. How do I show my UK experience if I am on Secondment.

Wont they question where the money is coming into the UK bank Account as i get paid only allowances As already suggested by Sushdmehta, you can show maintenance fund from any location provided you prove tha...

Even the UKBA policy guidance makes it clear that UK NARIC only compares the degrees for the purpose of claiming points in the Qualififcation section. The UK NARIC cannot provide a letter of comparability for you to claim points under English Language requirement.

U mean to say although the actual period I work was for 24th to 31st December and I get paid on 7th of January, that will be also included by the caseworker, right?

Thanks

Yes, if your claim period includes 24th to 31st Dec.

You must consider the actual period you worked as your claim period. The payment date shouldn't matter.

as per the current exchange I am eligible to apply now. But when I checked with the VFS bangalore, They said, the actual currency rate for each day [90 days] of maintaining the fund will be considered for the conversion. I am confused now. Reading the Policy Guidance would have helped. Read page 33...

Thanks.

@OP, it is better your wife returns before she completes 6 months in any 12 months.

I've just learnt that though the visitor visa is for 6 months, she is not allowed to stay more than 6 months in one calender year. If this is true, is my wife in risk of being over stayed? Dont think thats true. There is an effective limit of 6 months out of any 12. For example, in the IDIs: There ...

Hi Push ! Thanks for the clarification ! Iam glad now.... You are good to go. People are confusing between points including maintenance & English (10+10) and without. Earlier the requirement was to score 75+10+10 = 95 points, it has now changed to 80+10+10=100. Remember that scoring 10 points each ...

I think it is only for PG Cert or Diploma obtained in UK. Not for Bachelors Degrees and Masters Degrees holders.

Hi, Do we need to submit the salary slips attested or the print out copies would be fine. There is problem with my current employer. It will not attest the copies of salary slips. Please go through the Policy Guidance which says on page 22 i) Payslips: These should be either formal payslips or on c...

Thanks for replying. I'll claim points for nov 2009 to oct 2010, my query is if manage to get the nov 2010 salary also in the october 2010 pay(which will also be mentioned in the payslip as advance pay) will they consider this also in the 12 months earning or not? IMO this advance pay will not be c...
