PSW to Tier 1 - Govt blunder

Post by aakash.reuben » Fri Jul 23, 2010 2:27 pm

Ten of thousands of PSW permit holders are affected by the new rules published by Home Office that came into effect from 19th july 2010.

Students who had been granted PSW with the assurance that they can shift to Tier 1 General within a span of 2 years fulfilling certain conditions,
are facing the uphill task of achieving unrealistic earnings or getting disqualified.

The Govt cannot categorically alter those conditions halfway through, based on which the students got their PSW and working towards achieving the tier 1 general visa.

The Govt if they want, can implement new conditions from this present date for the issuance of future visas, but they cannot violate the immigration code by way of altering the existing conditions that were applicable to the PSW holders getting eligible to attain Tier1 General.

It is simple logic and a legal requirement on the part of the Govt to stick to the conditions prevailed prior to April 2010, enabling the PSW holders to qualify for Tier 1 General, failing to which all the PSW holders will be compelled to pursue legal remedy and face this nonsense.

Same way, two years back the Govt tried to evict thousands of HSMP holders by some unholy means but was defeated when the victims chose to fight as a group and took it the judiciary, and eventually the Govt has to cut a sorry figure.

I invite all the PSW holders affected by the new rules and let us form a group and resolve this issue legally. Spread this message and create awareness among the victims and act fast.
