Did you or somebody you know have a Highly Skilled Migrant Visa (HSMP) before the changes came into effect 7 Nov 2006?

Did you or your friends perhaps leave the UK because you did not qualify to extend your HSMP or the application was refused under the then new rules and 75 points requirement?  Then we have very good news for you!

According to the HSMP Forum Ltd Judicial Review (JR) Judgement of April 2008 you are eligible for a free review of your application or you could apply for the new Tier 1 (General).  The review / application will be decided under the pre 7 Nov 06 HSMP rules!

Both Categories A or B qualify:
Category A - you applied for and were refused an extension of stay under the revised HSMP requirements introduced on 5 Dec 06, and subsequently left the UK.

Category B – you left the UK after 7 Nov 06 without applying for an extension of stay under the revised HSMP requirements introduced on 5 Dec 06.
