looking at I believe that anyone who already has LTR to make five years under HSMP will be fine. HO has been saying all year that changes will not effect existing leave under HSMP.

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 allow...

Besides the name change, you could have your spouse name in the passport. Will be helpful for EC too. If present address is the same as the one on your spouse passport things would take 1-2 days. else might have to go thru police verification, which could be long. i would strongly advise to talk to...
