Table 2A of Appendix A (Attributes) of the Immigration Rules

Hi, Was wondering if the Table 2A of Appendix A (Attributes) of the Immigration Rules lists countries and the appropriate conversion rate is still applicable.
I need to travel to India for three months and work from there from Jan to Mar and my visa extension is due in May, so will my earning in India be converted as earning in Band D and evaluated, if not it would lead to rejection.

Couldn't find the Table 2A of Appendix A (Attributes) on the immigration website, which was present during my last application.

Thanks for advice in advance.

The "uplift ratio" was for the benefit of "new applicants" - employed and earning overeas - applying for HSMP / Tier 1 (General) scheme.
Since the schemes are closed to new applicants, "uplift ratio" no longer exists.

Thanks for quick reply.
Is there any reference to removal of uplift ratio ?
the band D uplift was not applied by automatic points calculator.

Thanks

If the uplift ratio were still active and available for utilization there would be reference to in the current rules and the guidance. There is no reference to it in the current rules and the guidance.

Search through the Statements of changes in immigration rules. One of them should mention the change / removal.

How about this --

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas ... /earnings/

Which clearly says -

"Table 2A of Appendix A (Attributes) of the Immigration Rules lists countries and the appropriate conversion rate, which you can find on the right of this page.

The country in which you have been working, rather than your nationality, determines the income bands against which we will assess the earnings.

Where you have earnings from more than one country, the points-based calculator will apply the appropriate uplift ratio for each country in which the relevant earnings were made, to provide a total that is equivalent to the UK value of earnings."



it also says -

" If you are already in the UK under Tier 1 (General) and you are applying to extend your stay, you cannot claim uplift rations on any overseas earnings."

i think which means if you are physically present in the country for which your salary is, then appropriate uplift ratio can be applied. But if you are in UK and claiming an overseas earning then it cannot.

Also none of the statement of changes says anything about change/mod of uplift ratio.
