Hello

Does anyone know if the UKBA will release what exact points I scored on my previous tier 1 extension?

I am coming up to applying for my ILR, and I now earn slightly more than what I did 2 years ago. However, when I put this information into the points based calculator, it shows I do not have enough points (I have checked this numerous times… because I would expect this means I have made a mistake in the calculator. But I am certain I haven’t). Its’ really confusing me, and the only explanation I come to is that it appears I didn’t have enough points last time, OR that I claimed more points than I should have (for age or qualifications or earnings) and the UKBA didn’t notice. I highly doubt either of those situations.

So… like I say, I really need the actual application form from last time, which I assume the UKBA held onto, because I only had my supporting documents returned and not the application form.

Either that, or there has been a change since that I'm not aware of. But again, I believe the rules that are relevant are the ones that were in force at the time I first applied (so in 2008).

Thank you

Please check your Tier1 initial approval letter. that will have all the points that you had secured and compare them with now.

I dont appear to have that letter... hence the problem.

which month did you apply for ILR ? give me the exact date so taht i can match it with my letter and let you know.

My current tier 1 visa expires mid October 2013, meaning I will be eligable to apply for ILR mid September 2013.

I was granted my original tier 1 visa in October 2008.

I extended my tier 1 visa in September 2011.

What ever points that you have got for your tier1 extension will apply the same for you. I guess you should have an approval letter at least for the extension ?

The best thing to do is calculate your points using points based calculator. That will exactly gives you the points awarded to you based on your first application date. I hope that helps you. Take a print out of that points based calculator.
