a friend of mine will complete his five years as self employed lawyer and is going to apply for indefinite leave to remain at the end of march, 2012. i need to know that will he also show the required documents as tier 1 (general) migrant i mean points for age, education and earning. i have copied and pasted the requirements for self employed lawyer from the Set(0) form:

See also Requirements for self-employed lawyers (page 91). If he's not under the Points Based System, then he shouldn't need to score any points.
