a) this is a dead link andCHINN wrote:Hi,
Under the new PBS(point based system) immigration system
what happens to tier 2(work permit) immigrant's ? NO ILR(PR)

Hmm...it seems a bit odd (and, admittedly, a little personally insulting) that no extra points are awarded for a Master's degree...but overall, the point system for tier 2 seems pretty fair.
A fair point and it does make sense. And I really can't find a solid argument against the obvious focus on what is best for the UK, rather than what is best for us...so while my ego wants extra points for my MBA, my logical side knows that what matters is whether or not I can fill a void in the UK job market, and further, whether I can positively affect the UK economy. Although I'm still sure I buy that my MBA doesn't mean more from an economic perspective, but we'll see.gordon wrote:But it makes sense that the PBS is biased in tier 2 away from individual attributes/qualifications and toward labour market shortages and/or labour market tests. My understanding is that tier 1 is meant to attract those who bring particular skills, while tier 2 is focused on particular gaps in the labour market. On the presumption that highly skilled or very specialised jobs will fall into the HSMP category (tier 1), to the extent that 40k+ salaries might reflect this in part, then the argument goes that earnings and education themselves will be insufficient in tier 2, thus requiring shortage/labour market points for those that otherwise do not qualify for HSMP. It seems that a real effort is being made to make tier 1 and tier 2 more distinct from each other, to reduce the current overlap between them, and differential assignment of points is one possible way to do so.

and that's a very fair and logical argument...but if we follow that argument, doesn't that make tier 2 people the safer bet?gordon wrote:One can perhaps take an economic argument here: tier 1 is geared toward promoting productivity growth, while tier 2 is geared toward filling gaps in existing production mechanisms. So one looks to tier 1 people (such as entrepreneurs) to raise productive capacity in the economy over the longer term, in areas and ways that have rather more unknowns at this point, while tier 2 people are intended more to meet current and more visible needs.

No, I didn't think you did - but it seems the government sees tier 1 as superior to tier 2, at least for now.gordon wrote:I never meant to suggest that tier 1 and tier 2 were not equal, but merely that on a macro- or policy level they may serve different purposes. The expected values of both may well end up being the same (after controlling for risk factors), but with a mature industrialised economy like the UK there is reason to believe that they need an explicit strategy to attract that highly-skilled talent to promote productivity growth, which ultimately is the greater long-term engine of growth. On an individual level, tier 2 may seem safer, while tier 1 would entail more risk (hedged in favour of the BIA, which can use the PBS aggregately to cull those who do not meet minimum defined expectations). There's a certain Darwinism in the process, you might say.

Does this change affects the HSMP holders currently in the uk with the new rules that came into effect from Dec 5'2006.
How this inturn affect the dependants status?

Any evidence for the your point about degree qualification, since the link is not particularly informative on this regard. Your assertion seems to signal a marked departure from prior reports, e.g., Making migration work for Britain (2006), and A common place (2007).CHINN wrote:Tier 1 will be for scientists,entrepreneurs, i.e. applicants educated above masters degree [...]

I agree with AG.gordon wrote:Thanks for the second link (although it, like the earlier one, does not corroborate your earlier assertion on rising educational requirements in tier 1).
