Question on period of earnings

Post by adtier1 » Wed Dec 01, 2010 8:51 am

Hi, I have scheduled an appointment with VFS on 10th Dec 2010.
I have two queries
1) Can I claim earnings for a period from 26th Oct 2009 to 25th Oct 2009? According to the Tier 1 visa guidance document, it seems fine. Just need a confirmation.
2) The salary for Oct'2009 was credited to my account on 31st Oct 2009. But since my claim period starts from 26th Oct 2009, will my earnings for Oct'2009 be pro-rated for the 6 days (25 Oct'09 - 31 Oct'09).

The reason I am claiming such a odd period is because mine is a border-line case regarding points for past 12 months earnings and the INR-GBP rate was highest at 0.0143 on 25th Oct 2010 (Oanda Website). According to the Tier 1 Guidance pdf, the exchange rate for the last day of the claim period will be considered. I have checked exchange rate for past three months on Oanda website and it seems the only favorable rate was on 25 Oct 2010.

Hence, my dilemma.

Do you have the below:
1. Bank statement for the 'pro rated' period of 25 days?
2. Salary slip/document from the employer confirming the same?

If yes, then only you can apply and hope to get a decision in your favour.
Thanks,
Sumit.

neosumit,
I am re-phrasing my question -
If the salary for Oct'09 was credited on 31st Oct 2009, and my period of claim is from 25th Oct'09, will they consider the entire salary for Oct'09 in the calculations (since the date of credit falls within the period claimed)?
