New Probationary Citizenship rules apply to new immigrants

[raghu_tallam]

As per the Guardian article, the new probationary citizenship rules that Home Secretary announced will apply only to new immigrants arrived after 2010 or after the rules are being passed in parliament.

Changes will apply to new arrivals after the new laws are passed, and not to foreigners already living in the UK, so reforms are only likely to affect migrants arriving from 2010.

Can someone confirm this? or do the new rules apply to existing immigrants who are due to apply for ILR in 2011 and Citizenship in 2012 etc?

From the article:

"Changes will apply to new arrivals after the new laws are passed, and not to foreigners already living in the UK, so reforms are only likely to affect migrants arriving from 2010."

Very old article

Now we have new immigration minister Mr Woolas.

Thinking is to break the link between temp visas and citizenship.

Different newspapers are reporting different things.

Call me a cynic, but it's doubtful that the government will pass a law that will only affect the government after next in 5 years time.
