You have put your finger on the problem (of the government using tactics such as the IHS and the "hostile environment" to reign in immigration).nevilleturel wrote: ↑Mon Aug 10, 2020 3:00 amIF the governemnt want to slow down immigration they would have have shut down visa catogeries,
It will not be so soon. Between Brexit and Covid, I suspect that a deep think on non-EEA immigration will take a back seat.nevilleturel wrote: ↑Mon Aug 10, 2020 12:13 pmAlso on the 1st of Jan 2021 UK is going through a big transition and leaving the EU so future laws including immigration I believe are going to get an overhaul.
Would you know if that is through the 10 year Long Residence route or if the years of studying on a Tier 4 route would be counted towards a 5 year pathway?AmazonianX wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2020 6:42 pm@secret.simon, think with recent changes that are to take effect, Tier 4 for international students, can lead to the right to settle in the UK or British citizenship through the PSW leave to be given.
Tier 4 does not and will not lead to settlement based in 5 years residence. The new Psw is a completely different category visa and rules to tier 4.AmazonianX wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2020 6:42 pm@secret.simon, think with recent changes that are to take effect, Tier 4 for international students, can lead to the right to settle in the UK or British citizenship through the PSW leave to be given.

Tier 4 can only be used for ilr based on 10 years long residence.
Edit : the new Psw visa is a two year visa and will also not directly lead to ILR.
British citizenship is separate to all immigration routes as ilr is mandatory before this can be applied for.
Let me say the earlier write up of yours on this subject quite detailed and dispassionate. Well done.secret.simon wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2020 6:56 pmWould you know if that is through the 10 year Long Residence route or if the years of studying on a Tier 4 route would be counted towards a 5 year pathway?AmazonianX wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2020 6:42 pm@secret.simon, think with recent changes that are to take effect, Tier 4 for international students, can lead to the right to settle in the UK or British citizenship through the PSW leave to be given.
Tier 4 has always had an option to switch in country to tier 2 general visa with a sponsoring employer after the last Psw route was closed many years ago.AmazonianX wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2020 7:13 pmLet me say the earlier write up of yours on this subject quite detailed and dispassionate.

No, not on a 5 year pathway. More on logging it and progressing to other route that will end in settlement and BC rather than the current situation of 'finish study, pack your bag and leave UK'.
Deeply flattered to be called "dispassionate".AmazonianX wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2020 7:13 pmLet me say the earlier write up of yours on this subject quite detailed and dispassionate.

I try to set aside my own opinions (and at least the conscious biases) and take a balanced, holistic view of the situation before giving advice. It is not always appreciated though takes a great mind to do this So thank you for the compliment.
