Tier 1 Questions ( need quick help)

Post by osmosis007 » Sat Jun 14, 2008 2:49 am

I am in UK from 16th May 2008.I am on work permit here.Am I eligible to show maintence funds limit as 800 pounds or I need to show 2500 GBP into my bank accounts.

I have got my payslips from April 2007 to April 2008 stamped from employer but my january month payslip is missing.I have got my F16 and P46 from my employer ( I was in UK last year b/w June 2007 to Oct 2007) So what is best option F16 + P46 + Bank Statements..is it possible I can show payslips as well with Jan moth missing payslip.

once I provide this proof do I need to provide April and May months payslip as further evidence..please let me know.I am more curious to know about maintence funds limits for me.Somebody told me that you need to be in UK form last 12 months to claim for 800 GBP maintence funds or you need to show 2500 GBP only.

For 2500 GBP will Bank account money + Mutual Funds + PPF funds money proof will work.

one more final question incase my employer ask me to go back in month of july ..do I have legal rights to stay in UK after resigning my job once I am in HSMP applied staus.

thanks in advance

800 GBP if you apply before 29th June 2008. See the following from BIA website
Normally, when applying from within the United Kingdom, you will have to show that you have enough funds, by sending documentation showing you have had savings of at least £800 for at least three months before applying.

Because this is a new requirement and it may be difficult to prove this immediately, we have put transitional arrangements in place for applicants and their family members submitting their applications within the United Kingdom up to and including 29 June 2008.

Up to 29 June 2008, you do not have to show you have had the funds for at least three months before your application. You must only show you have the required funds at the time you apply. The types of documents you need to send to support your application are detailed below. Until 29 June 2008, they do not need to cover the three-month period, but they must be dated no more than a month before your application.

For example, if you apply under Tier 1 (General) on 12 June, a single bank statement with a closing balance of £800 dated between 12 May and 12 June will meet the maintenance requirements. A bank statement dated before 12 May will not be acceptable.
is it possible I can show payslips as well with Jan moth missing payslip.
what exactly do you mean by this? you said that the Jan month pay slip is missing so how would you show the slip then?
once I provide this proof do I need to provide April and May months payslip as further evidence..please let me know.I am more curious to know about maintence funds limits for me.
No
Somebody told me that you need to be in UK form last 12 months to claim for 800 GBP maintence funds or you need to show 2500 GBP only.
Not really.
For 2500 GBP will Bank account money + Mutual Funds + PPF funds money proof will work.
not PPF/ Mutul funds unless they are liquidated into your account. I read a mail on this forum regarding BHC India accepting Fixed Deposits if they are liquidated into one's operating account. - look for it. additionally, you cant access the entire amount which shows up in your PPF account for sure.
one more final question incase my employer ask me to go back in month of july ..do I have legal rights to stay in UK after resigning my job once I am in HSMP applied staus
I think you can stay as long as you have submitted your Tier-1 application while your WP VISA was still valid ( you would need your passport in any case to go back, wont you :wink: )

It is actually 2800 GBP if you are applying from outside UK. And you need to be in UK for last 12 months in order to be eligible for 800 GBP maintenance limit.
I have got my payslips from April 2007 to April 2008 stamped from employer but my january month payslip is missing.I have got my F16 and P46 from my employer ( I was in UK last year b/w June 2007 to Oct 2007) So what is best option F16 + P46 + Bank Statements..is it possible I can show payslips as well with Jan moth missing payslip.
It'd be application suicide to apply with a missing payslip. From guidance notes:
110. For the purposes of paragraph 245F of the Immigration
Rules, the documents specified are as follows:
1. Payslips
These should be either formal payslips or on company headed
paper. If payslips are on un-headed paper or the
applicant only receives online pay slips, they will be required
to obtain their employer’s signature and stamp on a printout
to authenticate the evidence. Where provided, payslips
must cover the whole period claimed (i.e. if payslips are
generated monthly, each monthly payslip for the period
claimed must be provided)
.

You can submit a letter from your employer which shows your gross and net monthly income.

It'd help to read guidance notes very thoroughly so that you wont miss any peculiar points.

CoolestGuyC, where does it say that one needs to be in UK for atleast 12 months in order to qualify for the reduced i.e. GBP 800 maintenance criteria?


Kind regards,

I have again this query.About the earning proof guideline says that you should have atleast two different sources to show your income.

If I have F16 and P46 for the peroid of income , bank statements as well with me ..don't they fulfill condition to justify my income proof.
Apart from these tax documents I have got payslips as well covering whole 10 months and only two payslips are missing.isn't it possible i can show my income from the tax document and bank statements for those "2" months..Is it really very serious issue because I belive some time it is really difficult your employer to chase for payslips.

Both F16 and P45 are employer documents, and Saral / ITR and P60 are tax documents - so don't confuse between the two.

Remember that tax documents can only be used if they exactly mirror the earning claims period. e.g.- if you are claiming earning for Sep-Aug., a (single) tax document can only be used if it covers Sep-Aug income assessment. Please read para 110.4 of the Tier 1 policy guidance (UKBA website).

F16 covers earnings between Apr-Mar every year, so unless you are claiming income for the same Apr-Mar period, F16 will be of no use to you. Similarly, a P45 may be used as evidence only if you are claiming income for all months mentioned in the P45 and not just some of those months included in P45.

I think employer letters confirming you earned income for months you are claiming points for will suit you best - along with bank statements.
