The information available on website is
confusing .
Tier1 (
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/worki ... sedsystem/) says:
If EC will be applied in India then Tier1.
EC guidelines on HSMP manual is:
The entry clearance application should be submitted to the British Embassy, High Commission or Consulate in either your country of origin or
country of residence. You will not normally be allowed to submit an application for entry clearance in a country where you are based as a visitor or other temporary basis. Where there is no UK visa issuing post in your country of residence or where the nearest post does not issue entry clearances, another UK visa issuing post will have been designated to handle applications. If you are not sure where to apply, any UK mission will be able to advise you.
Does Country of residence means PR holders or it also includes WP holders?
HSMP (
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/workingintheuk/hsmp/)
If you are in a country other than India, you will be able to make an application to the HSMP up to the date on which we close HSMP completely and replace it with Tier 1 (General) of the points-based system. This will be in the next few months.
Can someone help me to decide between these two categories.?
Many Thanks.
