This is the main problem which HO is trying to get out of...paramjit2k wrote:1. how they are going to establish some one is highly skilled without experince certificates...
One can get a "doctored" experience certificate very easily and hence they are now using the age and salary into consideration.
It's not that all applicants have doctored experience certificates, but the few who are in the UK but not have been able to find jobs in their respective fields and are working in Tesco's etc..
According to the HO / Govt. they want such jobs to be reserved for low skilled people from the "expanded EU".
This has had an impact on the candidates who are genuinely experienced.
Candidates expect results of their HSMP application within weeks, but imagine how much time it will take to verify 6000+ odd applications (according to an earlier report mentioned somewhere on the forum).
The point is the govt. does not want people from outside the to settle here permanently and one of the reasons maybe the impact of the expansion of the EU, where 600,000 people have already entered the UK.
