Yes, absolutely. Myself and at least three friends of mine, two of who have already British citizenship. But this is not because of immigration laws here are wrong but because of the country itself and the overall system here is wrong and chaotic.jbinuk wrote: Is there anyone thinking of immigrating to another country, say AUS or US if given the opportunity, because of the unbearable changes with the immigration laws here in UK?
Wrong, mate, wrong. Who told you that? I personally never felt like this country was any good, I simply had no choice than to be here but now cannot wait to get out. I personally do not want any citizenship in this country - it is simply not worth it except for one thing - travelling freely across Europe, but can you honestly enjoy life here as a professional person with those salaries and bills - don't think so. To be able to enjoy this life, you have to be born wealthy and be able to tolerate arrogance and stupidity of the entire system here. I cannot do it myself.I used to think that UK is one of the best place the live and work but with all the retrospective changes in immigration for the past 2/3 years, it seems to me that it is only true for those people who have obtained citizenship or permanent residency at least.
I agree. I don't know what they really wanted to achieve by changing from 4 to 5, as they have hit the wrong class of immigrants instead of putting efforts dealing with the others, illegals for example. But this is entirely up to them how to regulate migration, as it is their country, we are just guests here asking for a favour of granting us the right to be here. They may decide to give it to us in 4 years, in 5 years, in 10 years or never, especially when they are at the end of their tether about their overcrowded island and I can understand them very well.My wife and I have been here in UK(living and working hard, paying taxes without receiving any benefits) for almost 5 years and unforunately wasn't able to obtain our PR last year when HO changed it from 4 to 5 years. We were just 2 weeks away from being eligible to apply for PR when HO made the new law retrospective. That was a very big blow on our part cause we've made so many serious plans ahead and those plans were blown away just like that.
Absolutely, go for it. Only to be sure to have a good job there or life there will be even worse than here. In the US, if you have a good job, you have a good life. Here, even if you have a good job, you will still be struggling to have both ends meet until you die.However, we are still considering moving to US within this year.
Yes, she was sacked because of blunders and cockups in the Department, similar the ones at the Home Office but to a lesser extent and that has nothing to do with their immigration rules being wrong or unfair. Some procedures do need changing, but overall the system there is quite well set and managed.Markie wrote: just recently Australia sacked its immigration minister and are making changes on their immigration rules.
