can I apply before 12 salaries

Hi all,

As per UKBA;
The period of earnings we will assess
Earnings must be made up of 12 consecutive months and must fall within the 15 months before your application.

but it also says;
You do not need to be in continuous employment during the 12-month period being assessed, so:

you can claim for a period of earnings less than 12 months; and
earnings do not have to be from a single employer and can be from full-time, part-time, temporary or short-term work.



So my quey is that can I apply with Salary range from Apr'10-Jan'11(10 Salaries).
Thx!

Yes, as long as you get the required points...good luck!!

Hi,

But I am confused, as in one statement they are requiring 12 consecutive salaries and in other line they are saying that one can apply before 12 months, can u explain this, logically it looks fine that even if i qualify on 10th salary I can apply.

Thx!

You can even apply with one month's salary, if you get enough points.

See page 17 of Policy Guidance which says

105. An applicant may claim for a period of earnings of less than 12 months if they have earned sufficient funds to claim the necessary points.

Wow its a great information, thx indeed for sharing.

Hi,

I will appreciate if someone can eloborate the following

"You may claim for a period of less than 12 months, but these earnings will not be considered on a pro rata basis",

what exactly mean by pro-rate basis here, does this gonna affect the Multiplier rate anyway.

Thx!

Pro-rata mean proportionate.

It means, if you get £20k in a period of 6 months as income, you cannot claim that I would have got £40k in a year and claim points for £40k where your actual earnings were only £20k. Is it clear or did I make it more complicated?

Simple, you can only claim what you actually earned.
