I would be really grateful if anyone out there could help me with my following query please.
I'm applying for ILR this month in Tier1 general category. But I'm still confused about the age points to be claimed.
Actually, I applied for HSMP Approval letter from abroad back in 2007 close to my 30th birthday. I remember that I had sent the application just five days before my birthday by courier claiming 10 points for my age, but not sure when it reached the UK Home Office and how many points was awarded for my age as I had claimed 80 points in total. The approval date was two weeks after my birthday. I claimed only 5 points at the time of extension as it was based on your current age. I also asked for my SAR file but it's not mentioned anywhere when my application was received.
Now, for ILR, I am confused to write the age at the time of my initial application. But I can score the minimum of 75 points even if I claim only 5 points for my age. So is it ok to claim 10 points now (making it total of 80 points) which I claimed for the initial application irrespective of the points awarded or should I claim only 5 points to make it 75 only.
Thanks for your time.
