Hi push_hsmp,push_hsmp wrote:July 2011 is when the real change i.e. earned citizenship rule will come into force. Anyone eligible for/with ILR before that will be treated under existing rules and will be able to apply withing 2 years for citizenship. Others will have to be on Probationary citizenship and will need to do voluntary work etc to get citizenship in a years time (5+1=6). The wait will be longer for those who do not want to do voluntary stuff.
Re integration: Its an eyewash that forcing PBS (highly skilled) migrants down this route will facilitate integration with the locals. Highly migrants already have decent english language skills, they want their spouses to work and kids to do well in studies - dont you think they themselves are taking care of the English language requirement (which is driven by need). By branding such people as having a probationary citizenship - will the Govt integrate them or more alienate them from other residents?
Its from the announcement the minister made during the discussions on the draft bill. You can see it here on the house of Commons website.uckocak wrote:Hi push_hsmp,push_hsmp wrote:July 2011 is when the real change i.e. earned citizenship rule will come into force.

Can you please let me know where you got this info from? any link, newspaper article? Since i will be eligible for ILR by April-11, i wonder if my case will be under existing rules.
Kind regards, Utkan
You can get to do the frontline work as well.LankanFunkin wrote:initially, I thought about joining the MET volunteer programme, hoping that at least this might give me a chance to baton a Yob... but sadly:
Tasks can include updating databases, collating evaluation questionnaires and general administration tasks.

sigh... Guess I'll resort to something more ironic like teaching English to recent immigrants from EU origin...[/i]
