nionlight wrote:thanks buddy for shed some light. i would be lieing if i say i am not biased against HSMP. the reason is the name it self. they are calling it MIGRATION program. so if we compare this program with other countrie's skilled migration program such as canada, australia, newzealand etc, we see when a person is approved he enters the country as permanent resisdent. but thas not the case for HSMP. they ask the applicant to make UK home and then if again ask for qualaification to stay at home??? besides, they can change the rules anytime and we have to match with new rules. how sick is this? when a person enters with old rule, new rule shouldn't affect him. this program is a dearly beloved program.
Yes you can switch from HSMP to WP, but I definitely wouldn't recommend it. If you move from HSMP to WP, your ILR clock starts back down at ZERO when you switch.nionlight wrote:is it possible to switch from HSMP to WP?...so if lets say some one can not qualify for extantion of hsmp then can change to WP?
Only those who cannot meet 75 points are forced to switch to WP as this is their last option unless they pull their children from schools and pack their bags from UK and return with empty pockets and an uncertain future. One cannot do anything about the unfair resetting to zero. When I came in UK I was foolish enough to think that being on HSMP is superior to being on WP whereas it would have been better to be on WP from start unless one is a highly in-demand IT professional.EdgeHillMole wrote:Yes you can switch from HSMP to WP, but I definitely wouldn't recommend it.

Someone who wants the flexibility of changing employers, or working as a consultant, starting his own business, or some combination of all these, will find the HSMP framework more appropriate. HSMP will also be suitable for those who otherwise want to work in sectors where work permits are arranged only for the most senior positions. On the other hand, someone who plans to stay in the same employment with little likelihood of switching, is perhaps better off in WP, avoiding the mid-stream requalification under existing HSMP criteria. For me, having come from the US, having the same range of work opportunities and flexibility of work structures under HSMP as I had in the US, was very important, given my field of work.
Your posts suggest a bias against HSMP in principle, but one should not fail to appreciate is that there are explicit trade-offs: HSMP visaholders must requalify according to the criteria to obtain FLR, but they retain considerable flexibility. WP holders need not requalify, but they are locked into their current employment unless they can find another employer to arrange another work permit, which is not always an option across all sectors.
