Let's pray!-Tier1(G) extensions post 24/11/10 announcement

[masoud]

I don't want sound pessimistic but it is very unlikely that they allow extensions for Tier1G . They probably expect Tier1G holders switch to Tier 2 now which is not gonna be very pleasant experience for us. That essentially means we will need to beg our employers for sponsorship. From employers perspective they can always say : we employed you initially on the basis of the fact that you had your own visa !

doesn't look good , does it? .. I know we told not to frustrate here .. but in my case it's literally like ruining all my plans, life, ambitions etc etc .

I sincerely pray that's not the case .
