Posted: Sat Feb 18, 2012 2:48 am
I am applying my ILR before july on 10 years law full residency but from last 3 years i am on Tier 1. Would the following changes will apply for me as i am after on 10 years rule.
see below its from the Firstmigration site.
Changes affecting Tier 1 visa holders:
As an overview, any Tier 1 (General) clients applying for ILR will now have to satisfy the same points requirement they needed to qualify for their Tier 1 extension (i.e. 75 points if you got your first HSMP/Tier 1 visa before 6th April 2010 or 80 points if after). Effectively, they have combined your Tier 1 extension (yes, another one!) with the ILR process so you MUST make sure that your earnings are high enough in the last 12 months to now qualify for ILR!
