I disagree that it will be a waste of taxpayers money. Govt lost HSMP case as they effectively gave the incoming migrants a gurantee that one can get ILR after certain number of years. Losing HSMP doesnt mean any future changes to settlement duration will be thrown out by courts. (as proven when judicial review for HSMP was only for HSMP and not for WP holders who simply had to comply with extended duration)
All new applicants and those who extend./switch their visa are told that rules may change at any time in future.
Most of the people live into their 80s these days and spending 2-3-4 years in another country is not a long term commitment.
i understand its frustrating, but we need to remember that at the end of the day coming to UK is a choice made by all of us and with it comes the risk of changes to rules. just relax and enjoy the time here!
