Previous earnings - Tier 1 extension

Shadru · Post by **Shadru** » Tue Apr 17, 2012 10:40 pm

My Tier 1 extension is due for renewal in March 2013. I am planning to apply for the extension in January End 2013. I will show my earnings from Feb'2012 to Jan 2013.

I switched to another job on 1st of Feb 2012. My Full and Final salary with my previous company should have been paid in January itself but due to some negligence by the company I received my Full and Final in the month of Feb.

Now I have 2 amounts coming in my account in the month of Feb. As i will show my earnings from Feb, Is it fine to show 2 salaries for the month of Feb as it will give me some cushion.

These dates make absolutely no sense.

As far as you explain it with a cover letter or in the last part of your application, it should be fine.

The caseworker is more interested in verifying any provided payslips against the secondary piece of evidence. You could just provide the new February payslip, and highlight the relevant nett pay on the bank statement. The other salary from the "negligent employer" can be ignored since you won't be providing a payslip for it to be assessed. It should not present a problem.

Actually I want to include both the salaries and I have the payslips from both the employers. Also the amount is being credited in the month of Feb only from both companies.
The negligence by previous company could go in my favour as I would be able to increase my earnings.
My query is - will it be fine if i show both salaries.

I'm assuming that the earnings would have been made in January however which would fall outside of the earnings period(?)

Can anybody please help me on this issue. The 2 salary slips I hold are both dated 29th of Feb.

If the money was earned in January then it falls out of the earnings period and if earned in February then it is in the earnings period. It doesn't matter when you were actually paid, it's when it was earned.

Now I am coming at this from the point of view of an accountant (we prepare accounts on this accruals basis rather than when cash is paid) so if you disagree with what I am saying then I would recommend that you speak to the UKBA directly as ultimately it is their call and not mine. Alternatively speak to your visa agent/solicitor for a second opinion.

edited to include 2nd paragraph.

if I understand your case correctly, this salary was earned in Jan-2012 but was paid in Feb-2012. 2 salaries on the same month may or may not raise questions to case worker. My opinion is this will be based on case workers discretion..

If I were you, I would switch back my 12 month earning window by a month to claim from Jan-2012 to Dec-2012. Anyway the rule says you can claim consecutive 12 months with in the last 15 months.. so you have that 3 months lineage there.
