To control those coming here, the government has committed to:

introducing an annual limit of 21,700 for those coming into the UK under the skilled and highly skilled routes - 20,700 under Tier 2 (General) and 1,000 under the new 'exceptional talent' route;
raising to £40,000 the minimum salary for those coming under the Tier 2 (Intra company transfer) route for more than 12 months;
restricting Tier 1 to all but entrepreneurs, investors and the exceptionally talented; and
requiring occupations in Tier 2 (General) to be at graduate level. [/url]

That means no more tier 1

Just had an idea, since none of us is psychic, the only way to know what's gonna happen to the various categories of visa you are holding right now is to contact your MP, it's time they do something for a change, like replying your email.
