Hi,

I urgently need your help. I have an my appointment for ILR next week.

I first gained entry into the UK in July 2007 as a Highly Skilled Migrant, then transferred to a Tier One visa in June 2009.

I have just filled in the points based calculator on the UK Border Agency website to confirm I have enough points, however it is not allowing me any points for my Bachelors degree.

Without these I only have 70 points - which is not enough to apply.

On the application form it initially says that you can get 30 points for a Bachelors degree under the rules in place before 6 April 2010. However if you read the additional text underneath it states that you can only get points for a Bachelors degree if you applied before 31 March 2009 or after 5 April 2010, which counts me out.

This has me really worried. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

For Tier 1 General Applications submitted between 31 March 2009 & 5 April 2010 (i.e. applications posted/submitted after 31 March 2009 & before 5 April 2010), applicants were not allowed to score points for Bachelors degrees. This is the reason for the comment above.

How many points did you score for your degree, when you initially applied for your HSMP in July 2007?

I scored 30 points when I originally applied.

Thank you.
