I am currently on tier 1 general. My first application for this category was in Apr 2007 as HSMP and then later in Apr 2009 I got extension in the Tier 1 category as I guess HSMP had been replaced by it. I will be soon applying for ILR in Apr 2012. I am not able to understand this particular rule while calculating my points. It would be great help if any of you can clarify it for me..!!
From the ILR guidance notes it says:
An applicant will be awarded no points for a Bachelors Degree if:
(a) His last grant of entry clearance was as a Tier 1 (general) migrant under 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 self-employed lawyer, or as a Tier (general) migrant
I cant make a head or tail of this, I intend to claim points for my bachelors degree from India (which is on their calculator) and which I used to claim points in my extention in 2009.
So does this mean I cant claim points for my bachelors or can I..???
