What do you think about 2nd extension of tier 1? What point system will be followed for granting that? Is it going to be the original point system that got the tier 1 in the first place?wunder wrote:Well, they cannot do anything about EU migrants - so to lower the total number they have to be super-strict on non-EU migrants...
I think it is a good sign that nothing was said about the extensions for existing T1/T2 holders yesterday - the government wanted to show their 'tough' stance on immigrant, and saying that the existing work permit holders would be allowed to stay permanently would be treated as 'weakness' by the media.
What if the applicant requires a second extension to complete 5 years? What rules will he be judged by? What point system?wunder wrote:It's impossible to say!
I do find it hard to believe that they will allow people to apply for Tier 1 extensions under old rules indefinitely. I'd imagine they might add a deadline to apply for ILR under old rules (5 years after last admission under old rules) and after it everyone would have to fit into a new system.
No idea! It's all speculation at this pointsundance_kid_750 wrote:What if the applicant requires a second extension to complete 5 years? What rules will he be judged by? What point system?

it does make us feel good to think this way, but it could also be the other way around, where they didn't want to break all the bad news together and the in-country limits or new rules will come next ... also perhaps they wanted to see initial reaction and judging from the response on media, i think they'll get away with anything this time ...

Moderators, pls. don't block this new thread and tell us to discuss in there as Ihave specified exactly what is to be discussed here (and not the generic hate speeches and frustration talk).

1. It is the members who take a topic from a meaningful discussion to one that, as you state, contains generic "hate speeches and frustration talk".
2. The same members who post in that discussion are likely to post in this topic too, because most, if not all, are Tier 1 (General) migrants who are already in the UK.
3. Who will take the responsibility that this discussion does not end up in a similar status as the other topic that you refer to?
4. How is this topic any different from the other, as both focus and encourage members to "speculate" or, as some members prefer to call "opinions of those affected"? Only one part of the speculation ended yesterday (regarding new migrants) but the other bits remain (what about existing migrants, what about settlement, what about citizenship etc. etc.).
An example: the same content being posted by one member (you) in both the topics.
