Isn't this survey meant for employers? I think it is. If one reads the response form, there are quite a few business-specific questions, like "If a supply of migrant workers is no longer readily available, what action will you take to train and source labour from the domestic market? Please gi...
Well, honesty / morality and politics don't gel together! And you are right, that is exactly the essence of the statement in question - but politics dictates that it not be written in the manner you suggest. IMHO, the ambiguity is in the mind not in the statement. I guess we are in disagreement on ...
Coming to think of it, wondering how new changes can be termed retrospective when the following is clearly stated in the PBS forms: I am aware that the rules and regulations governing points based system applications may change in the future and do not assume that the requirements covering any futu...
Who defines what is "highly skilled" when it comes to employability and earnings? Is it you or me or someone who is adversely affected by such changes and fear having to return home as a result or the industry where organisations even today are ready to pay huge sums of money to get the a...
retrospective changes on exiting migrants, they might as well close the shop altogether, because no really successful, highly skilled person will leave their home and careers behind, knowing that they cannot reasonably expect to settle in this country. But successful and highly skilled persons cont...
Appeasement of low-skilled voters, who will not gain a dime from the high-skilled migrants leaving in droves (or not arriving in the first place)? It's their call of course. No offence but don't think you would have made such a statement for the govt. of your own country had you been resident there...
Simply put - Govt. may (continue to) do what they wish to do and their legal brains believe is legal to do! Any migrant (or group of migrants) not in agreement with changes to immigration policy may then decide to challenge the changes legally, provided he/they can cough up the exorbitant amount of...
Simply put, they confirmed that do not rule out making retrospective changes for those already living in the UK on highly skilled visas: We are mindful of the impacts that changes to the immigration system can have on those who are already in the UK. Mitigating those impacts must be balanced against...
Hi Can anyone please advise if travelling on a one way ticket to London will cause any hassles at customs? I have a tier 1 visa and was told that travelling on a one way is perfectly ok. However, there are numerous travel agents who are advising me not to do so and rather opt for a return instead. ...

hi I am interested in applying to HSMP. I want to know what earnings that i am eligible to show? Can I show the earnings previous to the date when i became a full time student or only the last 12 months earnings. You cannot show earnings you made before you started your studies. You can only show y...
I was sponsored to do a 50K/year job, but lost it (it was a small company and the second founder whom I met very briefly before arrival, didn't like me as a person.) With earnings in my home country, I do score enough points, though. Is it worth it to apply? I'm not sure, because my cause doesn't l...
"Given that about 5,400 main applicants were approved in the 9 months before June of this year, it means that about 7,200 main applicants were approved in 12 months before June." ukswus, that would be great news for people that know they qualify I suppose. Can I ask you where you found th...
So I found on the UKBA website that in 1Q 2010, an average of 2750 people per month across the world applied for a Tier 1. Anyone have any sense of what % of applications get approved. Is it somewhere near 90%, 75%, 50%, 25%??? I'm confident I qualify but if there is typically a high success rate, ...

An applicant does not have to be in continuous or full-time employment during the 12 months being assessed. http://bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/pbs/t1-general-guidance.pdf I think any single consecutive 12 mont...
I would be interested to see a source which says that there can be no break in earnings across the whole period. From the UKBA guidelines: 100.The applicant can claim points for previous earnings in any single, consecutive 12-month period during the 15 months immediately before the date of applying...

Having applied interim limit for extension applicants for Teir 2, I cant see why they wont do this for Teir 1 extension, I am worried now??? First of all, I don't think the limit applies to Tier 2 in-country extension applicants. Regarding Tier 1: one reason why it may be difficult to cap extension...

Thank you, that was really useful! I have another question though. I saw this page - http://intsupport.glam.ac.uk/non-tier-4/ - which says - " You should be aware that immigration officials you encounter, for example, if you leave the UK and re-enter at any point during your stay might want to...
Can anyone tell me how increasing the points threshold from 75 to 80 (or 95 to 100) for first time in-country applicants (like psw holders) from 19 July, 2010 stop a last minute rush into the UK prior to April 2011? Sometimes, I wonder what kind of brains the people who make these rules/thier advis...
