hi sushdmehta,
there is no need to be aggressive here. i am just trying to understand the application.
to answer your question, i did read the policy. to make it clear, this is a clear note from UKBA,
"" Amendments to the rules relating to settlement
In April 2011 changes to the Rules were made to introduce a new requirement for migrants in Tier 1 (General), Tier 2 (General), Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer) of the Points Based System and work permit holder categories who are applying for settlement, to demonstrate that they are continuing to meet at least the minimum income threshold which applied when they last extended their permission to stay in the UK. In practice this means that Tier 1 (General) migrants need to have the same minimum number of points as were scored at the further leave to remain stage. For Tier 2 and Work Permit migrants, their employer must certify in writing that they are being paid at or above the appropriate rate for the job as set out in codes of practice published by the United Kingdom Border Agency."
it shows clearly that though Not the same or higher Income required, if the income-range is less than previous-range, this will reduce the Total points. if reduced number of income still falls under the same Earnings range, then thats not a problem.
but, in my case, it falls to lower Points catagory. and hence, want to know if anybody had similar situation or not??
