Hi, I came here on a dependent visa in May 2006 and started working and also doing a modular MBA. I got nmy own HSMP in July 2007. I later went to my home country and applied for my own HSMP visa and returned to Uk in jan 2008 on HSMP visa. I applied for extension and got in Jan 2010. Subsequently I completed my MBA in April 2010. I am applying for ILR now. In B3 of section 9 of Set O, I note the following.
Bachelor’s degree* 30 points
Master’s degree 35 points
PhD 50 points
You can only claim points for a Bachelor’s degree level qualification if you have previously been granted
leave to enter or remain as a Tier 1 (General) migrant under the rules in place before 31 March 2009 or
after 5 April 2010; or as a Highly Skilled Migrant, Writer, Composer or Artist or a self employed lawyer.
Does that mean that I cannot claim points for my master's degree (MBA)
Many thanks in advance

No worries. Yes, you can claim any higher degree than your batchelor degree.
Rules changed after 5 April 2010 from when batcher degree was not granted for Tier1 instead minimum education level set to masters degree. Those people can not claim or go back to batchelor degree for ILR. But all candidate claim for higher degree.
Look at beginning at section B
If you have gained further qualifications since your last application for leave as a Tier 1 (General)
Migrant and wish to claim points for this, you must provide evidence of this qualification
as specified below.

Very Many Thanks arifahmmed. Everything is clear now. Did not know the background so it was difficult to understand.
