Here are the changes done (I am listing the major ones):
1. Now you can score points for Bachelors Degree as well. In the previous changes to rules for Tier-1 in 2009, the points were awarded only for Masters and PhD. Now you can easily get 30 points for having a bachelors degree.
2. New point system for previous earnings. You do not get any points for earnings under 25000 GBP. See statement of policy below to see the full table.
3. New point system for age. You get 20 points for agent 29 or under, 10 points for age 30-34, 5 points for 35-39 and no points for 40 or above.
4. Earnings multiplier (currently 5.3 for India) is going to change. Actual change has not been announced yet.
All these rules apply for applications submitted after April 6' 2010.

I work in Uk and still work and earn salary in my home country while still here, Can i still combine my home country salary under the multiplier and the uk earnings to meet up with the earnings i need to apply for my Tier 1 general?
No. You can not do so.
No you cannot do so is never an answer- Tell him why you feel he can not do so.
Emeka, if you earn money outside UK no matter which country you earn the money, the multiplier will take effect. so if you earn in pounds and in naira, your naira will be converted to pounds using the uplift system as explained on the ukba web site,
good luck

Mohammed, I am afraid your explanation is partly true. Let me explain how. If you are earning in another country (in any currency), but living in the UK, the multiplier will not take affect. But if you earned that money while you were there in that country, it would be effective. Let me explain using an example - say you earned in naira from your home country, while staying in home country from jan 1st to feb 1st, you will be able to apply the multiplier for that period. If you moved to the UK, after feb 1st, and still earning in naira, the multiplier does not apply for the earnings after feb 1st.
I hope its clear now.
