nshar1 wrote:I received my HSMP tier 1 extn today.Following are the timelines:
Application Posted: 22-July-09
Fee Deducted: 23-July-09
Ref # received: 27-July-09
Visa stamped: 11-Aug-09
Docs received:13-Aug-09
My photograph was 4 months old and it was there in passport on another country's visa. Realizing my mistake, I quickly resent photographs by special delivery. It seems this resent photograph did not reach my application - The new visa still has the old photograph.
My HSMP was expiring on 03-Oct-09. Got the extn till 03-Oct-2012.
I will have to apply for one more extn as there will be a shortfall of 7 days between ILR and this visa's expiry.(On the cover letter I had requested for 3 year 7 day extn instead of the usual 3 year extn. Didn't work !!)
The next extn will be a tier 1 extn. My question is do we need a post graduation for tier 1 extn?
Thanks,

In the approval letter, the case worker has mentioned
"you should familiarise yourself with the requirements for further leave to remain in this category.You should note that the requirements may be revised and such revisions may apply to migrants who already hold leave to remain in the category".
does this mean I will have to comply with the rules for tier 1? Is post graduation a requirement for tier 1 extn?

The UKBA PHOTOGRAPH GUIDANCE says that : Photographs must also be a recent true likeness of the individual, taken within the last 6 months..

This is abt extension application in UK and this is the guidance for the photograph.. Its clearly mentioned that photograph must be taken within the last 1 month.

ILR/PR or whatever it will be called, can be applied for 28 days before completing 5 year stay in UK so you would not need a second extension as indicated above by gareth00gareth00 wrote:Even though you LTR expires 7 days before your 5 years is up, I think you will still be able to apply for ILR, up to 28 days before your 5 year period is due. The letter with your extension should have said this LTR will be three years, or take you up to the period to qualify for ILR, whichever is greater. They can't expect everyone to be able to get a flight arriving on the exact day their visas commence.
