[quote="cruxifixo"]What am actually interested in is the fate of PSW visa after april. It will surely be stopped on or b4 april. let us hope a Transitional arrangement will be annonced that will cover existing students after april.[/quote]
Man this board goes through ups and downs in terms of optimism about PSW, so far what we all think is speculation but we cant be that negative, its not like the government is doing this policy arbitrarily, while Mr Green was promoting his policy, the representatives of the UK Education sector went to parliament to do the oral presentation on the inquiry about immigration changes, so its not gonna be that easy for the Home Office to do sudden changes.
Moreover In the BBC radio interview damian green said current students will be taken in consideration on the current proposals... Finally in today s bbc interview he said he was in policy talks about proposals with the education sector, and there are powerful universities invovled,
u think LSE will let pSW without a fight? We are not alone and we have done our fair bit... Also may I remind you that the cap the government introduced within economic migrants was within the recommendations of the Migration Advisory Committee and in the end the Business Sector managed to lobby strong enough so that intra company transfers werent included into the cap.
So cheer up, at least some form of TA will be in place... Believe me its in the interest of the Coalition Government to avoid conflict in a prominent sector...
Finally, based on the speech he gave today this suggests PSW wont completely go away: "We will consider the options, for example reducing the length of time that graduates can seek skilled work in the UK, in the light of the consultation responses"
