As to why the points calculator does not have the name of your institution my guess is anyone graduating from your institution/course would not be automatically assumed to have met the English Language Criteria (Initial applicants only and not those who were first granted leave after Dec 2006). They will have to either write one of the tests or apply to Naric for comparability+get a letter from the Institute etc. (This is mentioned on the self assessment page itself - when you reach to the English Language section).161. Applicants meet the English language requirement if:
• they were last granted leave under a Tier 1 category
(other than Investors, where there is no English language
requirements) and are applying for an extension; or,
• they were last granted leave as a Highly Skilled Migrant
which was granted under the Immigration Rules which
came into force on 5 December 2006 and are applying for
an extension under a Tier 1 category.
162. As these applicants will have already provided evidence of
their English Language ability in a previous application they
are not required to provide further evidence.
When your visa (EC) was granted has nothing to do with your extension. It will make things a bit clearer if you can tell us as to when you filed your HSMP application and when was the HSMP approval issued. Because AFAIK, all applicants after Dec. 06 had no way out but to take one of the exams (or am I wrong??).steve10 wrote:I have obtained leave under HSMP in early 2007.

Thanks for your reply,sushdmehta wrote:What do you mean when you say "obtained leave" in early 2007? Do you mean Entry Clearance or the initial approval?
Many Thanks to you, sushdmehta.sushdmehta wrote:Since you filed your HSMP application after Dec '06 and received approval means that you automatically meet the requirements, as has already been suggested to you earlier by push_hsmp.
Choose the appropriate option in the form, and provide an explanation in the cover letter. Nothing to worry about!
