Hi,
I am applying for an extension/switching for Tier 1 visa. For previous earnings, you can use your earnings in the most recent 12 months.
My situation is that in the first 5 to 6 months, the pay slips do not really match the amount of money t hat came into my personal account b/c of problems that came up with setting up our own company payroll, etc. From January 2008 onwards, the payslips/dividend payments started to match the amount on the bank statements.
1. Do you think it will be okay if we only use the months from January 2008 to July 2008 to prove our earnings (it will give us sufficient points towards the application)
or
2. Should we use the whole 12 months, and just provide explanations for all the discrepancies from July 2007 to December 2007.
I want to provide the most straightforward documents/support possible, without Home office thinking we didn't work or get penalized for not providing a full 12 months of earnings data.
thank y ou in advance.
