Respite for Overseas Doctors

Post by Rog » Sun Feb 25, 2007 10:08 am

There is some good news as the Department of Health has kept the Court Ruling in abeyance for the next round of recruitment. The numerous protests have finally had some minimal impact.

This is an tricky issue. Please be aware that there may be a background work! (If a local, EU citizen, goes to court with reference to 09 Feb judgement, the whole demage is done!).

I doubt the rule for 4-5 yrs will be reversed as there is no strong case to argue about it in the court whereas the BAPIO case was much more stronger.

And also the govt. has never said that one cannot apply for ILR after 5 yrs...

Goct has clearly said that one cannot get ILR after 4 years HSMP and 1 year WP despite being a full 5 years on a working visa. This is a fact which can be challenged

We can go on arguing this,but the fact is that Liam Byrne, the Immigration Minister has reportedly stated in Parliament that for those using transitory arrangement to switch to WP after 4 years HSMP cannot use previous leave towards ILR in other words the Clock to ILR restarts from zero after 4 years under HSMP. Hence I had said that this aspect of not granting ILR after 5 years on a working visa (HSMP then WP) can be challenged.
