As you said already mate it is hard to guess the situation after 3-4 years, considering the changes happening day by day. But my personal view..I wouldnt put my money on your case .barbie1 wrote:Dear all,
Firstly wanted to say that for now I am in no position to discuss about becoming a British Citizen but I would like to know what my options for the future would be.
This question arose from the panic of reading about the government proposals for breaking the link between temporary and permanent migration.
I first came to the UK in October 2005 on a student visa, completed my BSc degree here for 4 years and got a PSW for another 2 years. I am currently going to apply for a Tier 2 visa which will be until July 2012. When it comes to settlement I know my years on the student visa and post study work do not count. However I have heard that if you have a total of 10 years (including studies) or 5-6 years of work (on tier 2 / work visa which would only count from now on for me) whatever is the earliest, you can apply for citizenship?
I know I might be completely wrong in my statements, but given my educational background and that I will not be doing any exceptional job with £150k odd salary, will it ever become possible for me to gain citizenship and how long could it possibly take given the circumstances?
Thanks for the input.
