Moving forward......Tier 1 and future studies

[coolfella]

Dear friends,

Hope you are well.

Couple of months ago, I have been granted with the Tier 1 visa for three years which will expire in 2012. Right now, I am holding a BSc degree only and applied just before the new rule (regarding having a Master Degree) came into effect.

Moving forward, I would like to know if I will require a Master degree for further extenstion of Tier 1?

If so, any suggestions doing a part time Master degree (computing/bus/marketing etc)?

Initially, I was thinking of doing masters after ILR (indefinite leave to remain).

Also, in terms of extending the current Tier 1 visa, what would be the earliest possible time that I can apply for further extension?

Please share your thoughts and suggestions.

Many thanks
Imz

You won't need Masters Degree for extension.

In terms of extending the current Tier 1 visa, what would be the earliest possible time that I can apply for further extension? (9 or 6 months before expiry etc)

Please advise

People have got extension 6 months before visa expiry. Didn't read about 9 months in this forum.
