Home Office did not, like they did for T(4) General, prospose different time scales as options, which implies they are more likely to close it entirely.
Well, that's what I fear... but, even if they do close it, they should provide some transition period.
I remind you, HSMP MBA work visa was similar to psw... and when closed, it did not apply to those who already started mba. Should they close it in flash, we could go to court and appeal to discrimination, considering there is a precedent.
Also, universities need to know in advance etc. and this ain't so simple. If u were to graduate in 6 months, spent 50k here, can they just close it in front of you?
Another things... this survey is suggestive... it implies that it adds to unemplyoment, students can already get through tier 2 etc. and to uninformed poeple, it pushes them to say "close it". requiring sponsorship is a big deal... nothing like psw. The text in the intro misleads people to say "close it".
This is a dirty game they are playing...I think they could lose in court, considering it would be against what was previosuly done.
Remember, even for work routes, it was known more than 6 months ahead that changes will be from april, right?
So far, the changes made haven't been in flash...
