i am also on Tier 1 general. Due for extension. TBH I think these rules are for ppl who apply for a tier 2 visa(work permit visa) after april 2011. Atleast that's what I have understood from this site. Tier 1 general extensions should be ok for settlement.
Whatever rules they introduce are always for fresh applicants. Which is fair enough.

As I understand it, those currently in the Tier 1 (General) route are/will not be affected. I believe this is the case because the number of Tier 1 (General) holders might/would be filtered down when it's time for an extension and when it's time for an ILR (as some people might not meet the requirements by then).

What you mean by :

'..the number of Tier 1 (General) holders might/would be filtered down when it's time for an extension and when it's time for an ILR (as some people might not meet the requirements by then)..'

It also applies to the other routes under Tier 1(i.e. Investor, Entrepreneur, and Exceptional), Tier 5, and Domestic Workers.

It's not my intention to make anyone nervous, but the fact is that if an applicant does not meet the requirements at the time of making an application, it's a refusal. One just needs to make sure all requirements are met so as to not get caught out.

the proposed plans or talks (which are yet to be confirmed) are only going to be enforced (if they may) for tier 1 after 6 april 2011.

normally, the plans come in force every april so lets assume if they come in action, it will be 2012 april.

hey innocentdevil,
u mean applicable to all the tier1 holders or tier1 visa obtained under exceptional category after april 6th 2011.
what is the fate of people who have tier 1 visas prior to april 6th 2011?

If you read through the consultation, you would notice or understand that as regards to Tier 1 holders/prospective Tier 1 holders, none of the proposals apply to Tier 1 (General) holders but to the other Tier 1 holders (i.e. Investors, Entrepreneurs, and Exceptional).

"The home secretary said she wanted tier two of the points-based immigration system â€“ which covers skilled workers from outside Europe â€“ to be regarded in future as a temporary rather than permanent migration route."

It is skilled workers not high value/skilled migrants

Hehe, 'wanting' something doesn't necessarily mean 'done deal'

.

I would interpret her 'want', in relation to the consultation, as this :-
Even if all the other proposals are not implemented, let the proposals applying to Tier 2 migrants (or prospective Tier 2 migrants) be implemented. Just saying
