Expected Changes to Tier 1 General Category

Post by Ankitha » Sun Jul 11, 2010 4:58 pm

Hi All,

I have been hearing and reading that British High Comission is planning to change some of the Tier 1 Rules from July 19th.

I have been planning to apply for Tier1 General in August.

If some one is aware of the changes and from when the changes are going to be applicable, please discuss over here so that future applicants(including myself) can plan themselves

All we know is that instead of 75 points you need to get 80 points. And in all probability the 5 points will be added in the earning section.
