If they do keep Ancestry they will probably slot it in as a Tier 1 category, ie leading to "probationary citizenship" after 5 years.PaulM wrote:I might be wrong but I do not think they can take Ancestry visa away so easily. Because its a birth right through familial linkage to the UK. Also only a certain amount of people can apply through this route, so why do away with it altogether. The way in which I think the screws will be tightened will be in terms of citizenship. The probationary period etc etc.
Not quite. There are going to be some differences between "probationary citizenship" as it will exist under the new proposals, and ILR as it exists now.Dawie wrote:There already is "probationary citizenship". It's called indefinite leave to remain.
If you want to know what I think it is that if the AV is abolished, those who have AVs already will be allowed to keep them but they will need to transition towards the new "probationary citizenship" after 5 years, not ILR.PaulM wrote: Could anyone comment on this please. Do you think it would affect those that are here already on the ancestral visa or just future applicants?
