Would the new rules affect getting HSMP extension?

Post by simonsays » Wed Sep 10, 2008 9:57 am

Hello!!

There are news about the new rules related to immigration to be put into force.
Refer http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7605455.stm and also I saw in NDTV that UK would be cutting several (actually LOTS!!! ) jobs in the IT sector.

Would all this affect a person applying for HSMP extension?
Does anyone have any information on this?

regards,
SS

This relates to Tier 2 and not Tier 1.

If employers will not be able to sponsor WP (Tier 2) for IT resources from outside EU, it might be (hopefully) a good thing for IT professionals resident in UK on Tier 1 - just a thought!
