Hi. I have a question on tier 1 visa extension. In order to renew the visa i need to show a min. salary of 50k in uk which at the moment is only 30.5k. from what i understand… i can also show some part time salary in india and then apply… I am confused on the multiplier of 5.3?? Can that be applied on the indian money or no? If no then the 20k GBP* the current GBP rate 70=14lacs has to be shown in the indian savings account along with the 30.5k in order to get an extension??
Kindly help…

Hi Kassem,

You said most people are being rejected. Is it because they used uplift which is not supposed to use or they are just purely rejected not because of any insufficient documents reason.

I am really keen to know what it is going on, please.
I hope to hear from you soon.

Many thanks.

Hi,

Your physical work location is in UK. Hence you cant apply Uplift ratio to your Indian income.

Kumari,
This is the way that most overseas people are trying to use to fill the gap in their salary requirements included myself. I have heard of many people being rejected because of this and the home office does not accept any earnings from abroad if you are have been living here and working full time. This is not clear from the guidance but most people are being rejected. I believe the money you earned in india while living here should be subject to UK tax…I am in the same situation but gave up with this route after having investigated it..
So, check this point very well before going ahead..
Good luck

I am in the UK earning UK salary as an employed person for the past 2 years. I have also selfemployed business income in India. I would like to know if I could (or if the UKBA would) apply the UPLIFT ratio for the income I have been earning in India as a selfemployed person. A quick response if very much appreciated and many many thanks in advance for your kind help. Thank you.

Hi there,

I had been in UK for two years and came back to India in May 2010. I have been working in India last 8 months and my annual income in INR is 500000 lacs. I started earning as freelancer as well and I have earnred 3 lacs INR in 4 months as freelancer. My freelance earning is not from one source, It is from different source (like earned from more than one company). Can anyone advise me, only bank statement is enough to prove freelance income or I need to prove more documents in order to prove the same. Please help me.

Thanks in advance!

Hello Chetan,

My name is Anu and I have a query in regards to my visa application.

I was working in the UK untill Mid June and I came back to India on 29th Sept.

I resigned from my UK job in June.

I started looking for work but then I got good opportunity in India so I took up a job in India.

I got an offer and I started to work here in India and my annual pay is 12 lac/PA INDIAN RUPEES.

But now as I am aware that the rules for Tier 1 have changed and its closing down in April 2011, I am thinking of Applying for Tier 1 but I am uncertain to apply it from India as they allow not many applications.

I have a valid PSW visa for UK which expires mid-next year and wanted to check if I will be able to claim my Indian Income from Oct 2010 to Feb 2011 which will be approx. 5,50,000 Rs which is equivalent to about 38,000 pounds.

The query I have is, is it possible for me to go to UK in Feb 2011 (I have a PSW Visa) and apply for my Tier 1 from UK instead of applying it from India?

Will I be able to claim my Indian income which by the month of Feb 2011 would be Rs. 5,50,000/- Approx. (Oct 2010-Feb2011=Rs. 5,50,000)

As I mentioned earlier I was working in the UK until mid-June 2010.

So will I be able to claim the income earned in UK from Jan2010 untill June 2010 which should be approx. 9,000 Pounds?

And Indian income from Oct 2010 to Feb2011 which will be approx Rs. 5,50,000/-

So is it possible to sum up INDIAN + UK Income in regards for my application of Tier 1?

Or I should just claim the earnings of Income generated from India? (I am present in India for the period I am claiming for Oct2010-Feb2011)

Say, if I show my income from 1 – Jan2010 to 16 June 2010 from UK which will be about 9,000 Pounds + Income from India from Oct 2010 to Feb 2011 which will be about 5,50,000 Rupees.

I was living in the UK for the period I am claiming the income.

And I am in India since Oct 2010 and am planning to be here until Feb 2011.

The only reason I want to go to UK is if its better to apply for Tier 1 from UK!

Would I be able to claim the same?

And I am thinking of going to UK in Feb 2011 and apply for my Tier 1 from UK.

As I have PSW Visa which expires in June 2011.

Is it even possible for me to claim my experience points from UK Experience. I have worked in the UK for more than a year.

And I hold a UK Master’s Degree as well.

I even have maintenance in my UK account for more than 800 Pounds since more than a year now.

If there is anything else apart from this that you can suggest would be highly appreciated.

Many Thanks,
Anu.
