In that case you write a detailed letter and the employer should be able to validate it and print on official stationery

would be pretty odd if a dependant can work full time but not study full time.

For 2 , see #40 of dependant policy guidance 40. If the Tier 1 Migrant is outside the United Kingdom or has been present in the United Kingdom for less than 12 months, each family member of the Tier 1 Migrant must show that he/she, the Tier 1 Migrant, or (for children) his/her other parent who is al...

hmm, tough one. You could have printed and stamped all statements(even the ones you have originals for) to maintain consistency. But if you really cannot do anything, no point in fretting over it. Hope for the best. Don't think that online account has much to do with your situation. And I understand...

I would strongly suggest you to go through the policy guidance document first since all of your basic questions are answered there. Others can as well answer but it might be their interpretation and not necessarily correct. So always refer policy document. To answer ur question, the earnings have to...

where can one find T1 visa conditions, especially related to any dispensation beneftis/tax breaks

Ask the employer to state the gross and net for each month of the duration. That would make it easy for case worker to tally with bank statement. No reason why employer sohuld not give it if you have been paid accordingly

the link given by sushdmehta says that for Tier 2 it is applicable after 6th Jan 2010 so should not be applicable to you if you are on Tier 2 from Nov 2009

not sure what is your confusion is. Have you gone through the guidelines? stamped payslips or letter from employer and stamped/original bank statements or letter from bank are enough. The bank statements will always show net and is acceptable.

Hi All, And will be submitting the application on Friday(21st May 2010) I forgot to mention that I've selected first consecutive 12 months (26 Feb 2009 to 25 Feb 2010) from my last 15 months (26 Feb 2009 to 25 May 2010), so please suggest that is this acceptable ? Regards, Sukhvinder Why are you ta...

Hi Layman, However, when making calculations, the caseworker has definitely used different exchange rates. I believe this method is quite prominently worked out in other threads on this forum. About using the end of month exchange rate for the duration of work in another country. Regards Rahul hmm....

Section A6 has Visa/Mastercard option. Do you have the right form?

Had read somewhere that we can send additional documents which would be considered if the case has not come up for consideration. Can't seem to find it now though

I believe the P60s do not show any allowances on which dispensation is being claimed so cannot know if the gross on CoS has been paid or not. Will have to check

Rahul aka keepsmiling, thanks for posting the rejection reply. Gives me some confidence that the case workers can do some re-calculations and do not just reject applications because our earning calculations do not seem correct. one question, had you used different exchange rates for the UK/India per...

as replied in other post, why are you not thinking of Mar 10 earnings instead of Feb/mar 09? more earnings in Feb/mar 09 which negate the exchange rate in Mar 10? the thing which worries me is the rejection reply to keepsmilinyaar from other post “You have claimed 30 points for working with XXX fr...

18th feb - 28th feb 2010 physcially in india, earning in INR : with uplift factor

Why cant you include Mar 2010 and drop Mar2009? Exchange rate at march 10 end would benefit you more, isnt it? this is assuming you were in India in Mar 10

you are right. £533 for dependant since you have stayed more than 12 months in UK

spot on ArgieBee. I am sure my employer does the same. What should be done in such case? Apart from the dispensation, first 52 weeks NI contribution is also discounted but the employer never mentions this as well

I had thought about doing this since the salary components are not necessarily from the same month always. For eg some get quarterly variable pay, so the first month could get last quarter's variable.

But then, keep things simple if you can

well, if te reason has been made very clear in the rejection letter, whats the confusion now? Do not apply uplift for earnings during UK period. Better safe than sorry would be the mantra.

Interesing question. Know of a case where a person has come on Tier 1 but still receives similar allowances as a Tier 2 ICT employee. dont know how the 2 year dispensation clause works for the different visa categories though.

you need to send photos. Why are you reluctant? the photo guidance says - In addition, babies under one year old do not need to have their eyes open even though this is preferable. All other requirements must be met. If the baby’s head needs to be supported, the supporting hand must not be in the ...

I believeyour understanding is correct. You can use entire Nov earnings and apply uplift ratio. Ans you can use the last day of the 12 months consecutive period using #128 -on the last day of the period for which he/she has claimed earnings in that currency I have done the same in my application(ie ...
