And they had BETTER not work the law backwards, ie, announce in april that all psw holders, future and those currently on the visa, only get 1 year. they had better make the changes only for those who will apply after the announcement. i want/need my full two years.
God Bless You!!!!!
I don't think it will work backwards, imo... We have an extremely strong case in the court here.
Has anyone tried to contact Penningtons regarding what our situation would be if they tried cutting it to 1 year?
Tall_f, about your post... what kind of time limits? Reduce to 1 year? That's not good news... we want our current visa.
We have to fight until we drop on our knees for this. I've spent a fortune on this, we can't be played out now.
Does anyone think they would make it ineligible to transfer to tier 2? In that case, we'd also be f....
i was thinking of that, too, but i doubt the could do it. all the business schools would protest strongly and i doubt they would limit tier 2 to only business students. they could make it economics based, though...ie, you can only transfer if you make x amount or money. theyve already hinted at the 'graduate level' criteria to be met in the future.
Yes, you are right... BUT, even if that was announced, that should affect only those due to get psw sometimes in the future, not us a few months away now... in this case, we have to go to court also.
What you said, though, makes no real sense... to transfer to TIER 2, you need to earn enough anyway in the future job. Code of Practice prescribes certain salary you must meet to even get it, and in any case otherwise it can't be below 20 000. Certain occupations are dropped now.
This move would make no sense, as then, internal applicants would be disadvantaged comapred to external- they need not prove any earnings.
In any case, tier 2 ties you to a job, and you must satisfy some criteria, what sense would it make to impose additional psw criteria? You can't meet tier 2, you simply leave after psw...
IMO, most likely, no real changes before sept now. They aren't going to announce anything in mid July, I guess... For Tier 2, it said all internal applicants get unconditional cos, anyway, so I hope it doesn't change.
