Looks like UK is following the Gulf Kingdoms of the Middle East, where there are restrictions on dependent visa. mmm... I thought we live in a free society!

"A top government adviser says ministers may need to stop workers bringing families to meet an immigration cap. ..." -- doesn't sound promising.
I agree to this as I have been a victim to this exploitation by UK employers. All who voted the Tories did so for a 'change'! and if any of you did vote tories, here is the change!

All though not most but some of my friend who are here on work permit/tier 1 or hsmp/tier 2 were eagerly waiting for their ILR. Some of them are even exploited by their employers because they do not have an ILR and are hence vulnerable.
In my opinion, Green in his speech makes an intentional analogy with the 80's. In that time, it was initially announced in Thatcher's programme, see [8. Immigration], that "First, there must be an immediate reduction in immigration. Second, there must be a clearly defined limit to the numbers of those to be allowed into this country. ... This [the cut] can be done by greater administrative rigour and by reviewing some of the categories of those who are at present allowed to settle here. In addition, there must be firm action against illegal immigrants and those who overstay their permits." Then, after coming Thatcher to power in 1979, very quickly "a new nationality law, as well as new restrictions on the entry of dependants, husbands and fiancés" were introduced, see here, that effectively cut immigration numbers down by orders of magnitude.docmac80 wrote:Latest full speech from Damien Green:

How did you come to this conclusion?GSOtodd wrote:I doubt that a cap on settlement will be put in place because that would cause more damage than is worth. For instance, NO BODY would move here because there would be no guarantees. Who would give up a good paying job to move here if nothing was certain. BUT you can expect some other changes. For example, giving up citizenship in home countries. This could very well cause a BIG drop in the number of people willing to stay in the UK.
Also, permission to remain could (and I have a feeling this will be the case), depend on salary. Lets face it, people moving here to work and manage take aways and on production lines are not people who contribute over the long term.
There are just too many ways besides introducing a cap that would make a person think twice about staying here.
If PC is delayed or scrapped all together and the new "worse" scheme comes in any idea it will commence from the July 2010 or there not much time left and it will be delayed for few months?shivkrshukla wrote:Govt is going to look at labor proposed PC! having seen the glimpse present govts policies its more likely that it would be worse than PC. most of the people who came to UK leaving their jobs/businesses/ settled life in the hope that they will get right to live and work here would certainly be disappointed.

If we go by the transitional arrangements set by the previous government, yes. All applications received before the start date of the new rules will be considered under current rules.jayaram727 wrote:Am i eligible to apply for ILR on current rules before the July 2011 new rules being effective?
