T1 ext. resubmitting doco already submitted in initial app

[mtuckersa]

I have done some searching and looking for the guidance where it says you don't need to resubmit documentation already submitted in initial Tier 1 application. Such as degrees and letter from university detailing the language medium of instruction.

I am pretty sure I have seen it before somewhere and I know people have submitted their applications without resending their degrees. I just can't find the actual reference on UKBA.

I would prefer not to send my degrees to UKBA if I don't have to.

In the Tier 1 General guidance, the provision re degree documents is covered in point 89 (page 16).

89. An applicant who has previously been given permission to stay in the United Kingdom under Tier 1 (General) or the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme, and previously scored points for the same qualification for which he/she wishes to claim points in his/ her current application, does not need to send evidence of his/her qualification again.

And as for the English requirement, that's covered in point 175 (p30):

175. An applicant meets the English language requirement, without the need to provide evidence, if he/she was last given permission to stay in the United Kingdom:
• under Tier 1 (Entrepreneur), the Business Persons route or Tier 1 (General) and are applying for an extension of leave to remain; or
•as a Highly Skilled Migrant Programme participant under the Immigration Rules which came into force on 5 December 2006 and they are applying for an extension of leave to remain under a Tier 1 category.
