Hi,

Anyone know if existing tier - 1 workers entering UK May 2008 coming up for ILR in Apr 2013 could be affected by the latest MAC proposal (please see below)?

If another post has been already started, please can you direct me?

Thanks

Those who are currently on Tier 1 should be NOT affected: According to the second (BBC) link, it says that
"It [proposal] would apply to skilled workers, those covered under "Tier 2" of the government's points-based immigration system"

Also, I remind you that this consultation was launched in spring this year with implication that its output would affect only those who will be applying for settlement after April 2016. So, those who have got their Tier 1/2 before April 2011 should be "safe" (unless the govt will later decide otherwise).

Please continue in the existing topic.
