04apr10 should be visa start date not 22oct10
In entry clearance visa there is visa valid from date, can you check and tell what's that in your passport?

My name is Anum and I have a question. Kindly help me out.

I have applied Tier General visa application on 04th April 2010 and application was refused. went for appeal and my appeal was successful. I got my 1st Tie 1 (G) visa on 22nd Oct 2010. I went for extension and applied within 28 days time. I got my extension on 8th October 2013. Now I have to apply ILR. My Questions are:

1) can I still apply under the rules placed before 6th April 2010? If yes than I have to claim 75 points ? If your appeal and subsequent extension application were made in-time & successful, yes to your first question. Check the guidance on the number of points you need to score based on this.

2) I would like to apply my ILR application in person. Shall I apply within 28 days , if yes from which date I have to calculate my 28 days? from 22/10/2010 or 08/10/2013? Yes you can, from 04/04/2015, as your appeal was successful.

3) because I don't have a U.K degree so on the time of 1st application I have passed a C1 level English exams and that was on the approved home office list. at the time of extension that body was not in the list but have claimed 10 points for English on the basis of previous application and got it. Now my question is in the new SET (O) application form there is no option to claim points for English on the basis of previous applications. Do I have to pass an other exam if yes than what level B1 or C1? If you don't score 10 points on the PBS calculator or are not able to get a NARIC English language assessment for the degree now, then you'll need to take a acceptable English language test. This requirement needs to be met irrespective of the fact that you met the English language requirement as part of previous immigration applications.

Kindly reply .

I travelled periodically to the UK but did not actually fully move to the UK until May 2011 (my Visa has a stamp with that date)

I was not very active in the UK for the time from the visa's issuance in Sept 2010 to May 2011. I would come for 2-3 day business trips very 2 or 3 months.
