STOP these draconian changes

Guys, time is running out and I urge you all to lobby your MP for the last time to STOP these draconian changes.

It's just a matter of FEW clicks!

Well, I have much stronger wish: Not depending on when you will get your degree? But When you have got your visa? Any one who gets his/her visa, with the understanding of PSW, before the announcement of its closure should be eligible to obtain PSW whether its April 2011 or April 2013 – 2014. This...

I agree with you fibreman, but don't you think Sep was the likely implementation month from the very start of this process.

You don't need to apply for new visa.
However, if you have BRP, you need to notify them about changes(Including Address).

Read the BRP leaflet carefully!!

May 2011 is not significant in ANY respect! WRS scheme was not that difficult to register with as was not capped or prohibitively designed. So, nothing is going to be different from May 2011!
