Lucapooka: Hi I Need the Immigration Rules at that time.
goldfish:
My Case for HSMP was applied on 25,January 2008. Visa was applied consequently in April 2008. The visa was initially rejected and was later allowed after a successful appeal. It was in August 2009 that VISA was stamped on our passports.
According to the rules in 2008 when i I applied HSMP and then visa, leave to enter was 2 years and was to be extended later (flr) for3 years.
By the time my appeal was decided, HSMP had long gone and tier 1 visa scheme had been launched which used to allow Leave to enter 3 years and later extension as 2 years.
Although my case was under the old HSMP scheme (Highly Skilled Migrant
is written on my VISA) but they gave me visa for 3 years initially. Now i am about to go for extension and want to get a 3 year extension (instead of 2 years) as per the original rules that were prevalent at the time when i had put up my origenal case in early 2008.
the reason for that is that i have now been 2 years 3 months in UK and want to complete rest of the period till indefinite, in just one extension. this is lots of money as we are a family of four.
I am trying to find out how to figure out how to make my point to the case worker and so want to quote both from the old rules as well as from the new ones.
can someone provide the old rules as well as some good guidance as well??
