Minimum criteria for General Tier1

thunderera · Post by **thunderera** » Sun Jun 15, 2008 6:57 pm

Hi,
I'm on a work permit and planning to apply for general tier1. From the initial 75 marks I'm getting exactly 75. Do you think if its possible to get approval if the minimum criteria is satisfied? I have all original documents in order but unsure about this. Greatly appreciate any comment.

Thanks,
Raj

All you need is to get 75 points + meet the english language requirements + meet maintenance funds requirements. Getting more than 75 points *does not* enhance anybody's chances of being approved.

Please read the Tier 1 policy guidance.

Hi,Thanks a lot for the reply. The guidelines are bit unclear. Also I got some more questions if some one can clarify.

I'm earning exactly 35K so will I get the 40 points for 35-35999 salary band? Because with that Im getting exactly 75 points.

My university and degree course is in the list of institues mentioned in the self asses tool. I got it certified from UK NARIC also. Do i require a letter from the University mentioning its done in english?

Many Thanks in advance,
raj

Check through self-assessment tool to see how many points you get for exactly 35K earnings. Simple!

Make sure that under the *english requirement section* the self assessment tool displays a message on screen that you meet the english language requirements based on your qualifications. Don't asssume that if university / qualification is listed in the *qualification section* of the assessment tool, it will automatically be listed in the *english language section* as well. If the tool throws up a message that you do not meet the english requirements through the qualification(s) you have selected, the you will have to take one of the approved exams. A letter from University is of no use for Tier 1 applications.

Hi raj,

There is a minimum requirement ogf 75 points so you don't have to worry about it. It doesn't matter if someone has scored 95 points or more. You have to score at least 75 points for Attributes and 10 points each for English Language requirement and maintenance.

Hi,
I got another may be silly question. On section 2 D. Immegration History it asks about entry clearance/visa. I switched my work permit to another company inside UK so my current visa I got in country. So when it asks about entry clearance should i give the old visa references here?

Also is it necessary to give ticket booking references? I have been here for two years now so I have lost these details.

Thanks in advance for any advice,
Raj

If you submit all your passports (old and new) then you do not have to fill in this details. I suggest all passorts should be attached.

Hi,
Yes I'm attaching all my passports. So I dont need to refer to my current visa number and dont need to fill in which air line i came or ticket booking?
It makes things better because i dont think no one can remember on which flight you came after 1 or 2 years.

Thanks,
Raj

If you read the form carefully, you will note that you need to fill in these travel details only if you are not enclosing your current and/or previous passport with the application.

If only you read the form carefully while you fill it up

Yes sushdmehta is right. if you select option "No" in question D5 then you can jump to question D11 so no need to give all travel details if all passports are available.
