what is a closed employment category?ALI74 wrote:Dear sushdmehta,
I looked again and again to the draft instructions
"Draft guidance (settlement) from 6 April 2011"
It does not mention the Closed employment Categories at all ,It only only mention the rules about Tire1,Tire2 etc But excluded Closed Categories , that means Home office is treating Closed Categories as a seperate category and work permit of 2006 are very similar to HSMP Judicial Review therefore there is a chance that Closed category may would have been excluded from the income creteria ...may be just we wish
Because there are no draft instructions available for Closed employment categories.
Although generally it appears that law will apply to work permit holder.
You managed to make me laugh, in such a tragic situation.ALI74 wrote:I am using the same Chair and same PC.
Agree with you....rajivilr wrote:Hi Tara,
I am giving you my example, I am IT manager and got wp at 20k, now they ask for 45k, so do you think that from 2006 to 2011 a person should have made 120% increase in his salary, this is ridiculous and also these occupation sheets were never in front of us to see what was what.
This will be a big challenge to overcome as when the initial statement of intent was released it said they need to show they are at a better rate than earlier but now its different.

Exactly. We are soft target, they can load us with new expenses and new laws without ever being questioned. Also get more votes in election, because of "being hard with immigrants".timarli wrote:

At least write a letter to your MP and see if he can help.SunnyG wrote:Similar situation for me: old wp holder, due to apply for ilr at the end of this year.
I'm not sure how risky it will be for me at the end of this year to get the ilr. I'm not sure whether the code of practice will be changed again and again in the following months. What I can do now is being worried and waiting. Don't know what else I can do now with the new rules. We've been here, working and contributing for 5 years and suddenly everything is so unclear.
We didn't have a code of practice at all when applying for the wp. The wp holders are always restricted to the one only job and can not change jobs as tier1 people.
Why we suddenly need to provide the code of pracetice now? we are not tier2, just like, the tier 1 are not quite the same with the old hsmp.
If ho agreed to give us wp at the beginning, why, after 5 years, they judge the salary based on the latest salary level? why not the original one? like tier1, the ilr will be based on the conditions when you extend your last visa. it's just so unfair for the old wp holders, I think.
Is there anything we can do now? after all, the rules will start in April subject to parliamentary approval.
