Congratulations on your success.

Did you provide any documents for Section 11L

Section 11L ( For the period before you were granted leave as a Tier 1 (General) migrant )

[Arnav]

Hi,

You are meant to fill section 11L only if you are on two different categories of visa for last 5 years(like Tier 1 for few years & Tier 2 for few years). I was on TIER 1 GENERAL for all 5 years so I didn't had to fill that section.

Thanks

[Tier1G09]

Thanks Arnav, this means in Section 11, we only need to fill Section 11A and nothing else?

Regards
Tier1G09

Hi Guys,

Im due to ilr and im only on Tier1 general from last 5 years. My question is regarding section 11 i had already filled 11 A, but do we need to fill any other sub section under 11?

Thanks in advance,
Any help would be much appreciated.
