Switching to Tier 1 General from Tier 4 student visa

Post by meenu910 » Wed May 26, 2010 12:12 pm

Dear Experts,

I'm currently doing my Masters in UK and will graduate in Sep 2010 and get my final graduation cerrtification in Dec 10. Previously I worked in India and have previous earnings from Sep 08 - Aug 09 and came to UK in Sep 2009. And my previous earnings are sufficient enough to claim the required points for tier 1 visa.

Am I eligible to apply directly to Tier 1 visa from tier 4 student visa? Please advise.

Thanks & Regards,
Meenakshi

You don't qualify for Tier 1 (General). Apply for Tier 1 (PSW) instead when you complete your course.
