I have read a few other posts too but basically it is still not clear. I have seen mixed replies so everyone is answering what they think is right. Personally i think it should be the very first time you came to UK which is 9 yrs time in your case.

goutham100,

You are applying under HSMP which is now tier 1 general so you should put date in 2008 (as a note put that it was an in country application if that's the case)
