Hi,
I had a quick skim of the first few pages and didn't see this mentioned, so apologies if it already has.
I am in the UK on Tier 1 and intend to renew next year (it expires April 2012).
I just got into a panic because I went through the points-based system calculator on UKBA website and it didn't award any points for my Bachelor's Degree, which causes me to not accumulate enough points.
Digging further, I see that:
* You will score no points for a bachelor's degree if, under the Immigration Rules in place between 31 March 2009 and 5 April 2010:
* you were given permission to enter the UK under Tier 1 (General); or
* you were given permission to switch into Tier 1 (General) from an immigration category other than those listed above.
Now my initial Tier 1 Application was submitted before they changed the rules - in February 2009. My visa was actually issued on 15 April 2009. If I use the February date I get the points for my Bachelor's and pass the calculator.
Logic would dictate I should be fine but which date will they use for my application date?
Thanks!
