I will do the same my friend! Unfortunately I have a feeling that UK don´t want us around. I wish all the best for them, but I prefer live in a place were we are welcome.
you are right buddy this visa cap is proof we r not welcome .. after 7 months of pain the government decided to remove NHS from the cap not because they wanted too , but because the media started to broadcast it all over the news , I figure if the media would have been silent nothing would have changed at all... they knew of this problem since January , but they chose to ignore it ,, that just explains their attitude I guess.
some say trump is bad for his immigration policies but all he has done is stop illegal immigrants , dont think skilled people with job offers have such issues to enter US for work if sponsored, UK is blocking people with job offers which is ridiculous.
I'm American and I am no Trump fan, but I have to point out that one reason Trump has not capped legal immigration to the same degree as the UK is that we have a huge amount of physical space in the US compared to tiny island UK: the US is 40 times larger than the UK. You could fit 40 United Kingdoms within the US. Think about that. The fact is that there is simply not enough room in the UK for the numbers of immigrants that come to the US each year. It isn't an attitude or whim on the part of the UK: they simply don't have the room. So I think we all need to keep in mind that our refusals are nothing personal, and don't mean that the average British person is anti-immigrant, because that isn't the case at all.
Best of luck to all of us next month, in any case.
I dont want to say much but if u read the comments in the news stories on NHS visa cap you will have your answer.. skilled immigration to the UK is not even 1/4th of that to the US , and companies in the UK go through a very stringent process of performing a RLMT before hiring an employee .
UK is not as short on land as you think I lived there for 6 years ,London is crowded but move towards the north and there is ample of space . Surely dont see lack of space being the reason for denying visas, especially since they opened a new Entrepreneur route in UK which has no CAP ... how does it make sense that if u have money there is enough space but if u dont you are put into a monthly cap
Then you haven't spent time in the US as well as the UK. If you had, you would know the shortage of space is real: I know that my home in the UK will be ridiculously tiny compared to my home in the US (that's not why I'm going to the UK: if I wanted material comfort and a prettier, more comfortable home, I would stay in the US, because hands-down you get more for your money there in every way). I've also spent time in London AND the North, and yes, the shortage of space in the UK compared to the US is very, very obvious. That's why British homes are so very tiny compared to their equivalent in the US. If you compare the two, you'll see that a middle class American person's home is much larger than a middle class British person's home (same for less fortunate people, and also very wealthy people); the British yards ("gardens") around British homes are almost nothing compared to the land and space of their US equivalent. And there is a shortage of housing in the UK right now as well, which is why housing is so very expensive (even in the North, if you compare the entire situation in the UK with a nation that has more geographic space). You can't really think that destroying the limited open green space in the UK to pack in more cramped houses and apartments is the answer? They have the right to want to avoid turning their island into a wall-to-wall cityscape. I love England and want to live and work there someday, but I understand that it isn't going to be as easy for me as it was for all of my great-grand parents who immigrated to the US, and that's OK. I'm disappointed now, but I'm willing to wait and to adhere by their rules. It is their country, after all, and I'm applying to be a guest. Waiting one's turn in a civilized and gracious way is a skill the British value among themselves, and also a great metaphor here in the kind of mindset we (as potential guests) should be willing to demonstrate, I think.
