It may not be fair, but my guess is that if they take away the right of ILR for WP and HSMP, that it will apply to everyone and it won't matter if you entered the UK under the old rules -- up to the day that they change those rules, even if you have been here 3 years, 11 months and 29 days to that point.mwazir wrote:Chris,
I agree it would be unfair if it applies to people who have already come into the country on a work permit. We will have to wait and see for the annoucement today and see how it applies and if at all it applies with immediate effect.
I just saw your discussion on the general board.lynn132 wrote:Tier 1 will replace HSMP, no job offer will be required (though it will be for Tier 2), but extra points will be awarded if you do have a job offer. Another item of note - employers won't have to deal with applying for work permits, so maybe they'll be less resistant to hiring prosepective migrants if they don't have to deal with that.

Q: I have already applied successfully under HSMP. How does the revised HSMP affect me?
A: Not at all. It is important to note that once you have entered under the programme you are in a category that has an avenue to settlement. Those who have already entered under HSMP will be allowed to stay and apply for settlement after four years qualifying residence regardless of these revisions to[/color]
I agree with lynn132 that the occupational listing (in the new policy Doc) only seems like an example.lynn132 wrote:Where did you find those limitations on specific professions? They're not in the plan as published. It says ". . . highly skilled, including doctors, engineers, finance experts and IT specialists. . . ". Those are examples, not specific limitations. The government will be forming a group to study the labour market and determine what areas go on their shortage skills, but that doesn't mean others are out in the cold.
See annex three of the report - it gives the best info.
As an American attorney, I can pretty much guess their language NOT limiting the professions, but serves only to give examples of the most preferred professionals. I doubt it will serve to exclude anyone outside of those professions.lynn132 wrote:Where did you find those limitations on specific professions? They're not in the plan as published.
