Consider the text in blue to be written in invisible ink ... and fill up the form accordingly.*you can only claim points for a Bachelor’s degree level qualification if you have previously been granted leave to enter or remain as a Tier 1 (General) Migrant, Writer, Composer or Artist or a Self-Employed Lawyer; and that leave was granted (as per rules in place) before 31 March 2009.
And before anyone asks, the "leave to remain" referred to in (b)(i) is for a switching application (by non Tier 1 (General) migrants) ... and not an extension application (by existing Tier 1 (General) migrants).Tier 1 settlement guidance wrote:* An applicant will be awarded no points for a Bachelor’s degree if:
(a) his last grant of entry clearance was as a Tier 1 (General) Migrant under the rules in place between 31 March 2009 and 5 April 2010, or
(b) (i) he has had leave to remain as a Tier 1 (General) Migrant under the rules in place between 31 March 2009 and 5 April 2010, and
(ii) his previous entry clearance, leave to enter or leave to remain before that leave was not as a Highly Skilled Migrant, as a Writer, Composer or Artist, as a Self-employed Lawyer, or as a Tier 1 (General) Migrant.

There is no need for (further / additional) confirmation ... as the confirmation already exists ... quoted in my first response in the topic.Immigration directorate instructions wrote:The immigration directorate instructions (IDI) are internal guidance for our staff on the handling of applications.
@ksurendrakumar: I am in the same boat as you and my ILR is due in August 2011. but i am taking seniors advices here as Sushdmehta has described above that it should be fine to claim bachelor's degree points. if you are still worried then either consult a lawyer or just apply your ILR first and see if you get it. and for your dependants you can apply by post to save some money.ksurendrakumar wrote:New Set(O) is now available on internet valid from applications on or after 11/04/2011.
they have removed 35 points for Continuous Residence Assessment.
They have corrected this error but the wording for point b3 page 19 bachelors degree is still the same " you can only claim points for a Bachelor's Degree if you have previously been granted leave to enter or remain as a Tier 1 (General) Migrant, Writer, Composer or Artist or a self-employed lawyer; and that leave was granted before 31 March 2009."
I will never qualify without the 30 points for the bachelors degree.
I am very worried as i got my LTR extended from HSMP to Tier 1 in november 2009. I now have finished five years and was ready to apply for ILR and have appointment booked on 14th April. I am still in dilema if i should apply for ILR and risk loosing £3ooo or cancel my appointment.
Seniors please guide. what documents should i take to justify my case during the application at PEO.
please see this topic. "asys" has clamed 30 points for degree on 12th April.rudransh wrote:guys, I called the Immigration Bureau and discussed in detail the SET (O) Form and IDI wordings...
That lady said that she will refer to department and get back to me....she called me after half a day to say NO
In my case as mentioned above, I can't claim 30 points for the bachelor's degree...
It is painful, what is the way forward?
Please suggest.
i back you up "adk". Sush has also explained this in many other forums.adk wrote:I think this is the answer as stated before by, i think, Sush..

(ii) his previous entry clearance, leave to enter or leave to remain before that leave was not as a Highly Skilled Migrant, as a Writer, Composer or Artist, as a Self-employed Lawyer, or as a Tier 1 (General) Migrant.
If you take out the 'not's', it says...
An applicant WILL be awarded points for a Bachelor’s degree if:
his previous entry clearance, leave to enter or leave to remain before that leave WAS as a Highly Skilled Migrant, as a Writer, Composer or Artist, as a Self-employed Lawyer, or as a Tier 1 (General) Migrant..
my two cents worth?..
