I am applying for my Tier 1 extension, my current visa expires 15/09/11.
At the time of my first application I was 29 yrs old which I submitted in August of 08 and it was subsequently stamped and approved 15/09/08.
My birthday happens to fall on 05/09.
On pg 30 of the application it reads..
Please tick the relevant box to confirm the points claimed by the applicant on the basis of his/her age at the date of application for the first grant of leave in the category. Applications for leave to remain where the applicant has, or has had, leave as a Highly Skilled Migrant, as a Writer, Composer or Artist, Self-employed Lawyer, or as a Tier 1 (General) Migrant under the Rules in place before 6 April 2010, and has not been granted leave in any categories other than these since 6 April 2010
Under 28 years of age 20 points
28 or 29 years of age 10 points
30 or 31 years of age 5 points
Although I was technically 29 when I applied, my visa was stamped when I had already turned 30. Do I claim points for the date I submitted my first application or the age I was when it was stamped?
If I claim points for the date I first applied, will I need to show evidence?
Any help on this would be great.
