Have you heard something called 'date of application'?adityaisukapalli wrote:If iam applying by Person in 2nd week of February 2011, and if they want to do further checks, if that goes beyond 5th April 2011, what will happen to my application ?
Some people in this forum saying that they will apply new rules (Close Tier-1) even though i have applied in February ?

Dear Sir

Thanks and Regards
Then why are they are closing Tier 1 (General) applications from outside the UK?bloke wrote:guys i have some excellent news. all applications before 23 Dec 2010 will be approved.
I think they are completely ignoring the term "Interim Limit" and legally introduced new cap.i.e, Tier-1 General Close for Overseassushdmehta wrote: If all applications submitted before 23-Dec are to be issued a visa (if approved), then when will they allow applications to fill the remaining quota from the limit (which is now reimposed legally)?
There is no Tier 1 General quota, and thanks to the court ruling, legally there has never been. The only quota which has been legally introduced is for Tier 2, while T1G has been closed altogether.sushdmehta wrote:Then why are they are closing Tier 1 (General) applications from outside the UK?bloke wrote:guys i have some excellent news. all applications before 23 Dec 2010 will be approved.

They are closing tier 1 from outside uk as their proposed quota is over. Since the limit imposed before 23 Dec 2010 is deemed unlawful all eligible applications submitted before that date will be approved.sushdmehta wrote:

You are right, no cap/quota anymore .... just scheme closure to keep the numbers similar to the "unlawful" cap!Tier 1 General will be closed to out of country applications because of the number of applications that have been received since 19 July 2010. The route is not being closed in response to the Divisional Court’s decision.
....
Applications for entry clearance as a Tier 1 (General) migrant made before that date will still be considered against the existing Immigration Rules.
If HO has any intention of appealing against the ruling about illegal quota they will not process any application till they have appealed and decision made. Its just my opinion seniors please shed some light on this thought.gregshukla wrote:The immigration minister mentioned several times in his speech yesterday that they are awaiting a written copy of the judgement in Jan before they decide if they will appeal against it or not.
Wonder if they will go ahead and appeal and (God forbid), again say that limit was legal if they win the appeal. Seems unlikely though given the noises/annoucements made today...

What is meant by 'already in the UK'? What if my T1(G) is from Dec, 2010 but I cannot enter UK till June, 2011.There will be transitional arrangements beyond 6 April 2011 for some applicants who are already in the UK, and we will announce details of these in due course.
