Regarding transitional arrangement...Confused

[pavanne]

Hi Friends,
I am currently in UK on Workpermit.
I applied for HSMP first level on Feb 7th, and hoping to get decision next week or something.
My doubt here is that for the next FLR,
Do I need to apply using old system or new Tier 1 system..?
I am bit confused..
In the website,
http://www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/workin ... angements/
its like we need to apply using new Tier 1 system, but my consultant is saying that I need to apply using old system itself.

I am not sure abt this.
Could anybody please help me in this.

Thanks in advance.

.

Any HSMP that needs an extension after 29 February must be done under Tier 1 rules.

HSMP holders get a couple of benefits when renewing, but they are quite small concessions.

Points Calculator - extending HSMP under Tier 1

An immigration consultant who has got that wrong at this late date is not a very knowledgeable immigration consultant.

[ On EDIT :

- UK - Extending leave to remain under Tier 1

- Tier 1 - General Highly Skilled Migrants criteria

For UK based applicants, tier 1 HSMP has started from 29-Feb-08.
Old HSMP does-not hold good for UK based applicants. Your consultant has not read the bia instruction properly

If you remain UK based while you get HSMP approval letter and want to apply for EC or LLR then take following steps:
1) Fill the Tier 1 (General) form
2) Pay 350 pounds fee
3) You will automatically get 75 points for attributes (age, education, previous earnings & uk exp) and 10 points for english requirement
4) YOu have to produce evidence for claiming 10 points under maintenance section.

- Job done.

You need to show the min. 800 pounds. PEROID. There is no work-aorund.
else you need to wait for another month.

Pavana,
Recently they reversed the rule on how long the maintenance fund should be in your account. It does not need to be there for 3 months again. It can be there today and get your statement gtomorrow. This is valid till 28th of June, I think. Check the website to confirm this.
Cheers.
