ILR Point System

[HSMPQueries]

Hi,

Just wanted to clarify something. I am still a while away from my ILR application, however, I recently started browsing through the guidelines to check for any drastic changes.

I initially received my HSMP visa in January 2008 and my extension under Tier 1 valid from January 2010 until January 2013.

Questions:
1. Am I permitted to claim points for my Bachelors degree? I have seen some confusing language on the application form.
2. Are the points for salary as per the table which has 45 points for salary greater than GBP 40,000?
3. I first entered the country about 3 weeks after my stamp in January 2008 for 1 week and then finally returned about a month later. I am not worried about being away for more than 180 days, however, am I eligible to apply for an ILR or do I need another extension to cover my 3 week gap?
4. Is there any maintenance of funds requirement?

Your guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.

Cheers.

degree points will be same as at extension stage
band is correct but some guys had difficulty that your salary should be more than the extension stage (Though not according to rules)
28 days period will cover your 3 weeks. no need for another extension
No maintenance fund requirement
