"Consider capping the maximum period of Tier 1 temporary leave at five years and restricting the number of exceptional talent migrants granted settlement"
Again there is confusion as TIER 1 TEMPORARY LEAVE(this applies to existing tier 1 holders be4 april 2011,or tier 1 temporary leave means who enter UK after april 2011 under tier 1 exceptional route??????
CAN ANYONE CARE TO GIVE MORE CLARITY ON THIS,WITH SIMPLE WORDS
Question 3: Should temporary leave for Tier 1
migrants be capped at a maximum of 5 years
(
those who wish to stay longer will be obliged to
apply for settlement)?
4.10 We want to continue to offer a package
that attracts the brightest and best migrants
who will enter the UK under the re-shaped
Tier 1 category. The Government would
welcome views on whether we should allow
Tier 1 migrants, who choose not to apply
for settlement after five years in the UK, the
possibility of a further period of temporary
leave or whether temporary leave should be
capped at a maximum of 5 years. As these
are the high value migrants the UK wants to
attract, we are minded to retain the current
position, which would enable entrepreneurs,
investors and migrants of exceptional talent
to seek repeat grants of temporary leave
indefinitely, should they so wish. With the
changes introduced in April, Tier 1 is now
much more selective than previously, so we
believe the number of Tier 1 migrants opting
for further leave because they fall short of
the requirements for settlement is likely to be
very small and made up of those migrants
who significantly contribute to the economy.
Nonetheless, we would be interested to hear if
there are contrary views.
The question is whether it should be allowed to apply for further extension after Tier 1 holder becomes eligible for settlement. So nothing much to worry as of now
