Home office has recently announced that
"Licenced sponsors can only sponsor family visitors to U.K".
People with only "Indefinate Leave to Remain" or "British citizens" can become licenced sponsors.
Then what about HSMP holders???
Will they not be able to sponsor family visitors to U.K??
Will we HSMPians not be able to bring family visitors??
This is very bad.
What are your opinions on this??

In the above link, under "sponsored family visitors" topic the following is mentioned.
"Fifth, only British citizens and those with
indefinite leave to remain in the UK will be
able to act as sponsor to a family visitor."
Before you arrive at an assumption of negative impact, read the document carefully and understand what it means. No point in creating unnecessary confusion on the forum just 'coz *you* failed to read or interpret given information accurately.Visitor consultation paper para 5.2 wrote:While family members will still be able to come to the UK as tourists, we believe that applying under the new Sponsored Family Visitor category, with a licensed sponsor vouching for their family visitor, will provide more assurance that a genuine application will be processed and approved quickly.
