Tier 1 questions

Q1. My salary has dropped a bit but still remains within the same band as was in 2009 -is it going to create any issues when I apply for Extension?

NO

Q2. I have a choice on my current employment either to accept redundancy (just to get some extra money out of employer) or resign -is it going to have any issues when applying for extension (my salary will be continuous though)? Also, can I include redundancy money within earning?

REDUNDANCY would be a better option

Q3. What documents should I request from my current employer that will be required by HO. My employer does not issue any pay slips but will be able to issue me a letter in addition to P45; should I get a letter now or request at a later date near application date?

if you are being made redundant then you should get your P60 which should be fine.

Thanks.
P.S Although extension is due in July 2012 but can apply earlier as had already covered 1 year on work permit prior applying for T1.

If I could get a replies to the questions anyways that will be great. Also I have gone to the embedded link and it shows under the table for T1(G) a rule that says that no point for earning under 20k despite table gives 5 point for earnings 16 to 17k!

Please take sometimes to draft a quick reply to left question -as this will give me a peace of mind

For extension (within UK) amount of money needs to be shown for my wife and me is £800+£1600 (total £2400) for the last three continuous months prior application date -is it correct?

if you have been in the UK for more than 12 months then it is 800 + 533

Thanks.
