Income required for Tier 1 holder
Posted: Thu May 24, 2012 3:31 pm
Hi there, I just received my tier one extension. I first applied my tier one (switched from WP) in March 2009, extension granted May 2012. I will be eligible for ILR in 2013 (WP started Sept 2008). My question is, will my income requirement be based on the points system before or after April 2010?
I saw on some immigration website that my points will be based on when I FIRST obtained my visa, so the points system prior to rules change in April 2010, hence with a lower income requirement.
however, when i looked at the application form for ILR (set o), it says 'where previous leave as a Tier 1 (General) Migrant was
granted under the Rules in place on or after 6 April 2010'. Now my extension is granted after this date.
What is the truth?
Thanks!
