Introduction of immigration cap deemed unlawful

talentedWE · Post by **talentedWE** » Wed Dec 22, 2010 10:06 am

This change is effective from 23 December and applications for entry clearance as a Tier 1 (General) migrant made on or after that date will not be accepted. Applications for entry clearance as a Tier 1 (General) migrant made before that date will still be considered against the existing Immigration Rules. These changes do not apply to those who have existing leave in the Tier 1 (General) category and require an extension of stay, nor do they apply to those presently in the United Kingdom in another category of stay and are applying for a variation of leave as a Tier 1 (General)
migrant.

Clearly mentioned that existing Immigration Rules apply. Since all those who already have T1G and inside UK fall in their respective Immigration Rules so they wont be able to enforce new rules on existing T1G. but nobody know when Mr.Green turns Mr.Blue.

Thats great sushdmehta. I always believe that one should respect others whatever the situation and not spread any unfounded rumours. I also appreciate moderators other committments so best option is to maintain self-discipline. I urge all members to make moderators tasks easier as they are here to help all.

It was on 17th.

â€œIn my judgment no interim limits were lawfully published or specified by the secretary of state for either Tier 1 or Tier 2... and there is not, and never has been, a limit on the number of applicants who may be admitted either under Tier 1 or the number of certificates of sponsorship that should be issued to Tier 2 sponsors.â€

The cap was unlawful and there is no cap for Tier 1 General as per my understanding. As an "alternative" to stop more people from coming in, they just closed the route.

Hi Everyone,

I am currently on a Post Study Work Permit and will score enough points for a switch to Tier 1 General in May 2011 (PSW valid til October 2011). Will I still be able to apply for T1G under the new law to take effect in April 2011? Any news on the 'interim solution'?

Thanks!
