> Thank you for your reply and a lot of information in the FAQ you have sent, but my question is still unresolved. I wish to know that if I am currently under 3 years extension, after initial 1 year HSMP approval, at the conclusion of 4th year when I apply for 1 more year's extension to complete the 5 years required for ILR, which income criteria will be considered to make up the 75 points, the first table of salary levels for initial leave of 12 months or less or the second table with higher salary levels for those with intial clearance of more than 12 months.

The Government has announced that, from 2007, the current rules for managed migration will be replaced by a new points based system and the current work permit scheme will be abolished .

This is becoming crazier and crazier, i was in the impression that self employment can be a saviour if required, that doesnt look a possibilityas well.ATBPLC wrote:13. What happens to highly skilled migrants already in the UK, but who are no longer eligible under the new FLR criteria?
We have developed transitional arrangements to avoid disadvantaging those that fail to meet the new requirements but are making a useful contribution to the UK.
Those working in a skilled job, but who don't qualify under the new HSMP criteria, will be offered the opportunity to seek further leave to remain under the Work Permits scheme. In these cases, the usual Resident Labour Market Test will be waived, provided that migrants have been working for at least eight months out of a twelve months' grant or at least twelve months out of a twenty-four months' grant.
Migrants in self-employment who fail to meet the 75 points under the Points Scoring Assessment (PSA), will be able to have their applications considered under the transitional arrangements for Self Employed Persons included on the FLR(HSMP) form. If they meet the requirements of these transitional arrangements, this will be accepted in lieu of meeting the 75 points required under the PSA. They will still have to meet the other Immigration Rules requirements, including the mandatory English Language Test.
From the above, I still have the impression that these changes might not be intended for 1+3+1 group, if the above is interpreted correctly. Watch the emphasis is on 12 months or 24 months grants, i.e initial grant of 1 0r 2 years
Thanks for this. Not the best response, is it...For the reasons which I have set out, I am afraid that I cannot
agree that the changes be suspended pending formal consultation, or
that the old rules for extension applications be applied to those
already in the UK.
It is correct that those who switch into another category will not
be able to
use their previous leave under HSMP to qualify for settlement.
Although I am
aware that this may cause frustration to some people, the
Immigration Rules
are drafted in this way (and have been for some time) because those
switching from HSMP into another route may not have been economically
active during their HSMP leave.

So, if you are going to switch from HSMP to WP, you will need to start from the beginning!
