Hi Everyone,
I am holding Tier 1 (General) visa which expires in October, 2012. After that according to current rules I can apply for settlement visa. I have recently seen the following news on BBC.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13714028
I just want to ask the forum members if they think the decision will affect the current Tier 1 holders as well. So in short is there a chance that I will also be denied settlement visa?
Thanks in advance

Hi thanks for posting the links, however they don’t have anything to say who will be affected everyone or the ones which came on tier-1 after certain date.

Hi Tanvirni,
You would frighten people by yur statement stating that it would affect teh extenions as well. Just to put it that whoever enters into tier and tier2 catergory and for the first time , these would be impacted and not anyone who are already on tier and tier2 would not be impacted and this is only a proposal , the actual outcome could be different

4.2 We made a start in April this year by introducing some preliminary tightening of the settlement rules. Migrants in Tier 1 and Tier 2, and their predecessor routes, are now required to show they continue to earn an appropriate income; and they may no longer meet the knowledge of language and life in the UK requirement for settlement by obtaining an English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) with citizenship qualification, instead they are required to take the Life in the UK Test.19 A new criminality test will mean that migrants with an unspent conviction will be refused settlement. Now we intend to embark on a more radical overhaul of the settlement rules to break the automatic link between coming to work and staying permanently.
We propose to apply these new settlement criteria to those entering Tiers 1 and 2 from April 2011.
