Hi Aryan,You mean to say that the consultation on long residence is still to come.Have you got any Idea when It will start?Aryan2013 wrote:Mr. PM told us that he will consult on Long Residence rule in the forthcoming consultation.

So what happened? Is this another U-Turn by this Con-Dem Govt. or he will just scrap it without consultation??
It applies to out-of-country applications and in-country applications to switch/change categories under PBS after Apr 2011.timarli wrote:'entering the UK'
and 'Apply these rules to those entering the PBS after 2011' in the summary sounds like the other one.
It seems so, because if you change employers you'd have to apply for Tier 2 - that's a new application made after Apr 2011.timarli wrote:I've been on work permit since 2008 so does that mean I'm doomed to my current employer?
That would be a wise decision.timarli wrote:Probably it's better to see an expert as I have 2 interviews in two weeks!

The below statement is very confusing:
"We have already announced reforms to the Tier 1 investor and entrepreneur categories,
including the possibility of accelerated settlement for these high value migrants. We will be
consulting, however, on whether Tier 1 exceptional talent migrants should have an automatic
route to settlement and whether we should remove the ability of all Tier 1 migrants to apply
for further leave to remain after five years in the UK."
So still they are considering whether to give the settlement right for tier 1 (irrespective of one who entered before or after april 2011).
They haven't mentioned anything abot the tier 1 who entered before 2011. So I feel they consider all the tier 1 migrant as the same?
They have again created confusion for existing tier 1 holders?
If you go through the published consultation you will note that they were specific about the Tier 1 routes the proposals apply to i.e. Tier 1 (Entrepreneur, Exceptional, and Investor). No reference was made to Tier 1 (General) - which by the way is closed.srirags wrote:We cannot conclude anything untill they pass the rule. The document is just a consultation.
Aslo they genralised and they are not specific with tier 1 migrant.
This statement [from the Written Ministerial Statement - immigration (work and settlement)] is referring to future consultations not the recently published consultation.srirags wrote:They used the below words which creates further confusion.
whether we should remove the ability of all Tier 1 migrants to apply
for further leave to remain after five years in the UK.
.....that's all one can do now.srirags wrote:Lets be positive and hope for the best untill they pass the rule.
Very valid point.GSOtodd wrote:Who would want to hire a good qualified worker if one can't be found, then tell him/her to leave and put your company's output at risk by having one of your good workers leave?
, given the erratic way the rules keep changing, who can blame them :p.GSOtodd wrote:Also, my professor back at my university in the US told me that they had another survey of college student and if they should have to seek work outside the US, where would it be. Many said they would prefer to stay in the US and work jobs until an opening occured. Understandable. A few said Canada and Australia. ONe said NZ. NO one said the UK. Wonder why?

I don't think they will be consulting on Long Residence anymore, either it will survive with few changes or it will be scrapped without consultation. I think we have to wait till Nov-Dec 2011 or Feb-Mar 2012 for the outcome.sameer2012 wrote:Hi Aryan,You mean to say that the consultation on long residence is still to come.Have you got any Idea when It will start?Aryan2013 wrote:Mr. PM told us that he will consult on Long Residence rule in the forthcoming consultation.

I've got no idea, we have to wait for the consultation response from the Govt.sameer2012 wrote:It means Govt. can stop this Long Residence route towards settlement in order to increase time scale for settlement for those who already in UK for last 6/7 years?Is It right?Aryan2013 wrote:Mr. PM told us that he will consult on Long Residence rule in the forthcoming consultation.

I'm sorry to say but the answer Yes.coolguycp1 wrote: In the light of the consultation on settlement, can they come under the new rules which says those entering PBS after Apr 2011 will not be eligible for settlement? This, assuming the extension is not possible until late this year or after the rules are published.
