Hi, I've recently been granted an HSMP Approval. N', I was beginning to look for jobs online, before my arrival in UK. On all job websites, I saw the same question "Are you qualified to work in the EU"?? Does HSMP qualify a person to "work in EU"? Like, for e.g., Ireland? I appl...

looking at the bright side (you really have to look for that silver lining), the pdf on the new point based system also says that ILR can be given to Tier 1 candidates after 2 yrs itself. Pls note that this is just a chance: 88. Tier 1 is a route to settlement and people in this route will be allowe...

Hi, following is the info from one site: Tier 1 is designed for migrants with the highest skills and will replace the HSMP. They do not need a job offer or employer sponsorship for the visa and the application can be made from outside the UK. There is also the additional flexibility of being able to...

Hi Gordon, Thanks for the clarifications. regards, Chandan The plan appears to be that the immigration authority will integrate a number of routes into the UK into five tiers, although it should be noted that not all tiers will provide paths to settlement. tier 1 - highly skilled, e.g. scientists or...

Hi,

Sorry to bother you guys with may be weird questions but what are the chances of getting the VISA stamped for less than 2 yrs. Does this happen often that HO will stamp the passport for duration less than 2 yrs?
