Hello There,
I am applying for General Tier 2 Visa as main applicant and bit confused about what to fill in for 'Points Claimed' columns. Please guide me!

Points Claimed:
Please Select Category you are applying for- {I selected Tier 2 Category...but then I dont know what to write on following questions}
Certificate of Sponsorship (shortage occupation)
Certificate of Sponsorship (resident labour market test)
Certificate of Sponsorship (job offer with salary of £159,600 or more)

Appropriate Salary: {I added my salary from the contract}

English language: {I have UK equivalent degree (PhD), but not certified from UK NARIC. Do I need to get this equivalency from UK NARIC or just having degree & attaching degree certificate is suffice?}

Maintenance: {I'm writing 'Self supported' is it ok?}

Total Points you are claiming: {I couldn't calculate them, cause PBS calculator says the rules have been changed since April 2016. What should I mention here?

Please help! Thanks in advance!
