Tier 1 general extension

Post by girish1428 » Fri Sep 30, 2011 6:39 pm

Hi,

I am planning to apply for my Tier 1 general extension after some days.
I think I have managed to gather a list of all the docs required to prove things like, age, maintenance, etc.

However, the information present in the official site regarding evidence to prove previous earnings is quite a lot and scattered. Could some one please provide a list of documents that I need to show my previous earnings in the UK, please?

1. Since the last 9 months I have been self employed.
2. I was on a contract before the 9 months.

Please advice.

Kind Regards,
Girish.

2. I was on a contract before the 9 months.
i) Payslips: These should be either formal
payslips or on company headed paper.

ii) Personal bank statements showing the
payments made to the applicant: Bank
statements provided must be on offi cial

confi rming that he/she has received the
exact amount claimed.

iv) Offi cial tax document produced by
the tax authority or employer, showing
earnings on which tax has been paid or will
be paid in a tax year.

v) Dividend vouchers. Dividend vouchers
must show the amount of money paid by
the company to the applicant, normally
from its profi ts. They should confi rm
both the gross and net dividend paid.
An applicant should provide a separate
dividend voucher or payment advice slip
for each dividend payment, to cover the
whole period claimed.

vi) Self-employed applicants only - letter
from the applicant’s accountant (confi rming
that the applicant received the exact
amount he/she is claiming, or the net profi t
to which he/she is entitled).

accountant.

x) Where an applicant is submitting a
combination of bank statements and
a letter/invoice summary from their
accountant, they must also provide any
invoices generated during the period
for which earnings are being claimed.

Many thanks again.
Regarding the same discussion, could you also let me know the documents needed to be shown by my dependant (my wife), please?

We both will apply together in 1 envelope.
She is working in the UK on a permanent role and gets salary monthly.

Kind Regards,
Girish.

Reading the guidance should help - http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... idance.pdf point number 160 and 161. Point 161 gives a further link to Dependants guidance. I hope this helps.

thanks. I went through the document and found this:

"44. For example, the Tier 1 Migrant has been in the UK for 6 months and is making an application 44. at the same time as his/her spouse and two children. He/she must show that he/she has £1600 for his spouse and a further £1600 for each child, in addition to £800 required for his/her own support. In total the family will require evidence that they hold £5600 in available funds (£1600 x 3 = £4800 + £800).

45. If the same Tier 1 Migrant and his family had been present in the UK for two years, they would require evidence that they held £2399 (£533 x 3 = £1599 + £800) in available funds."

I fall under the 2nd example mentioned in point 45. In my case my wife is working and has a bank account but didn't have enough funds in her bank for the last 3 months. However I £800 + £533 + more for more than last 3 months. In this case, can she still apply or would the application be rejected and I should apply only for me and not her ? I mean I can always apply for her once I get my application. By then she can maintain funds. I kindly request you to reply asap because I am planning to apply within 1 or 2 days.

Appreciate your help on this.

Some more text which made me ask the above question:

1. Any dependants wishing to join the main applicant must also provide evidence that they have access to suffi cient funds. Please refer to the Dependants guidance which can be found on our website at: http://www.ukba.homeoffi ce.gov.uk/workingintheuk/. Where the main applicant’s application is
made at the same time as applications by the partner or child of the main applicant, each applicant must have the total requisite funds specifi ed in the relevant parts of Appendices C and E of the Immigration Rules. If each applicant does not individually meet the requirements of Appendices C and / or E,
as appropriate, all the applications (the application by the Relevant Points Based System Migrant and applications as the partner or child of that elevant Points Based System Migrant) will be refused.

Also read 90 from the PBS (Dependants) Policy Guidance:

Evidence for Applications Made Under Tiers 1, 2 and 5
The documents required by Appendix E of the Immigration Rules are specified below.

90. Personal bank or building society statements covering the three month period immediately i) before the application. The personal bank or building society statements should clearly show:
*the name of the main applicant and/or the family member making the application, or (for children only) the name of the other parent who is also legally present in the United Kingdom;
*the account number;
*the date of the statement
*the financial institution’s name and logo
*transactions covering the three month period
*that there are sufficient funds present in the account (the balance must not fall below £533 or £1600, as above, at any time during the three month period).

*Only the most recent statement must be dated within one month of the date of application

*Ad hoc bank statements printed on the bank’s letterhead are admissible as evidence (this excludes mini-statements from cash points).

Thanks. Could you please comment on my main question:
I fall under the 2nd example mentioned in point 45. In my case my wife is working and has a bank account but didn't have enough funds in her bank for the last 3 months. However I have £800 + £533 + more for more than last 3 months. In this case, can she still apply or would the application be rejected because she does not have enough funds ?

Should be ok to use your account as long as the statements meet the usual requirements. From the Tier 1 General Guidance see point 160 which says:

160. Applicants may want to check the potential costs of living in the United Kingdom. If an applicant does not expect to get any income from his/her work in the United Kingdom after the fi rst month, he/she may want to check that he/she has enough money to support himself/herself and any dependants.

To me this means that you are not barred from showing all funds in one single account, as long as you are named on that account.
