It is layman question but I am looking for answer for my satisfaction. Regards, If your degree is lis...

Suggest you go through this. This is more concise and explains a summary of the new changes. Keep checking the UKBA website for more updates on the 19th.

Not required. You may submit the old NARIC certificate (in original) along with your Tier 1 application.

If you are already in the UK, then this cap will not be applicable to you. However, if you apply on or after 19 July then you have to tot-up 100 points instead of 95. See link on UKBA website.

Unfortunately you will not be able to apply uplift ratio on Indian earnings for the period you were in the UK. This case has been discussed many times and the result is always the same.

Suggest you ask your Solicitor to take up the matter with HO. Please bear in mind that judicial proceedings/cases take a very long time to proceed ahead.
