Hi,
I am on workpermit issued in 2007, which is valid till Nov 2012. As per the recent article, HO is closing the route to PR for Tier 2 (ICT), I am not sure whether they will be doing the same for existing WP holders and the Tier 2 (skilled workers). Also the Probatioanry citizenship rules are not applicable to Tier 1 immigrants. At the moment, I am eligible to switch to Tier 1 and can easily do that. As per the MAC endorsement on 4th Dec, they have proposed to grant 2 years visa and 3 year extn to Tier 1 applications as compare to 3 years visa and 2 year extn (this is the current rule). The govt is looking into it and planning to apply the same in early next year.
Please suggest, should I apply for tier 1 now or wait from the context that route to PR might get close for WP holders and new rules will be in place for Tier 1 applications from next year.
regards
Raj
