Tier 1 (General) Become Impossible to Switch settlement ILA

UKBA

Again did changes
Changes to settlement from 6 April 2011

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... settlement

NOW U Still under knife. On other side UKBA promote to give Job to EU Citizens rather outside-EU.

We should fight for our rights

We should be given what they promised ... You are under knife of Rules Even You already in Tier 1....

Stand for Your rights.....
Otherwise UKBA will throw you outside as they did in past.

You topic subject is entirely misleading.

According to the current rules Tier 1 (General) holders are not 'under the knife' as you put it. As long as the same requirements met during the last extension is met when applying for settlement then it would be approved.

Please be sure to check/clarify/understand information gotten before probably causing undue panic.

Respected

Before new rules ... there was not minimum requirment of Indefinite to Leave. that is

Age
Earning
Qualification

First
Before new rules You Require to spend 5 Years under Tier 1. You can straight away apply for Indefinite But Now
It is in danger....because again to have to meet list of requirments.

Second (applys on only who had tier 1 before april 2010)
According to Old rules You got 10 points for 34 age
Now According to New Rules You will got 0 (Zero Points ) for 34 age or older.
when u applying for extension or Indefinite to leave.

New Rules is coming up in future
Even you got Indefinite to Leave ....
You will not entitle to any Public Fund
You will be treated as worker not citizen


Note: Be prepare for Worst-Case Scenarios and Bundle of Rules if you are not united.

Yes I suppose it is somewhat unfair. I guess they expect the applicants to be able to make up for the 0 points, due to age, in the other attributes e.g. Previous earnings.

BUT, the rules do state that points claimed for age in an extension or for an ILR, will be the same points claimed at the time of the initial application. So if 10 points where claimed for age 34 in the initial application, it should be the same when applying for an ILR.

At least there is the option of an extension if the requirements for ILR after 5yrs have not been met. For now, the 10 yr long residence route is available.

Fair prediction, but for now, there is no restriction for ILR holders.

Agreed.

Reference:

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... mmigration

"We have already announced reforms to the Tier 1 investor and entrepreneur categories,
including the possibility of accelerated settlement for these high value migrants. We will be
consulting, however, on whether Tier 1 exceptional talent migrants should have an automatic
route to settlement and whether we should remove the ability of all Tier 1 migrants to apply
for further leave to remain after five years in the UK."

So still they are considering whether to give the settlement right for tier 1 (irrespective of one who entered before or after april 2011)

They have again created confusion for existing tier 1 holders?

Well as Peshawari stated....

another duplicate thread once again. i have been through the document yesterday and nothing has changed for tier 1 general holders . now i am not sure but if the plans come in effect which is a long way to go, it may effect tier 1 general holders who applied under rules from 1 april 2011.

there is no need to panic. think accordingly.

I'm in absolute agreement with you Innocentdevil (however, I think it's 06 Apr 2011 not 01 Apr 2011).

It's becoming a bit annoying with this same issue popping every where in this forum, and especially with some posters posting comments that cause undue panic instead of trying to go through the document properly before posting said conclusions.

Request for a moderator/administrator to please lock this thread.

Cheers.

my mistake, it is 6 april 2011 indeed.

There should be one thread which should be stickified intead of millions of threads on the same topic.

I am actually bewildered that so called tier 1 general migrants can't seem to understand and grasp basic english.

The consulation clreary stated that above changes don't apply to tier 1 general migrants. It only affact those who entered pbs after April 2011 like tier 1 exception talent migrants, tier 2 and tier 5 migrants.

Hehehe, I share your sentiment Celtic .

It's not a news anymore.

It may affect a small proportion of T1G, if they cap their stay at 5 years(I'm assuming these affected T1G migrants will not qualify for ILR at the end of 5 years of their stay).

Please continue in the existing topic.
