I am aware that I need to fill in the SET (O) form. In that form, there is EITHER an option for Tier 1 OR Work Permit.
1) How do I make the case worker aware that my case is a COMBINATION of both?
2) Should I include a good cover letter in that page and explain the case?
3) Also, which immigration rules will apply for me? Will it post April 2010 rules (since I swithched to Tier 1 from Nov 10) or will it be OLD rules in 2007 (that is when I started my work on a Work Permit). Neither of the rules pose a problem but I would just like to know that is all.
1) Note that it's your current immigration status that matters & what you would select in the SET(O) form, i.e. in your case this would be "Tier 1 General migrant" & NOT "Work Permit Holder".
Providing the evidence requested below in the SET(O) application form is intended to provide the UKBA additional information on your immigration status throughout the entire 5 year residency period.
Page 42:
For the period before you were granted leave as a Tier 1 (General) migrant, documents showing that you met the relevant requirements of the immigration rules.
2) Though a cover letter is not explicitly required for this, you can include one if it helps explain your circumstances better.
3) The rules that applied when you switched to Tier 1 will apply for your PBS assessment.
Note: If you were on an old style WP (i.e. prior to the Tier PBS based application system was introduced) then you wouldn't have gone through a PBS assessment for your initial WP. So unless I've misunderstood your 3rd question, there can only be one set of rules that would apply to you anyway & that would the Tier 1 General rules.
