I dont think implementing Tier 1 will put more pressure on UK caseworkers. Rather opposite will happen. This is because, now I think Tier 1 applications will be assessed locally in each county's own British Embassy. This will take pressure of UK Caseworkers who work on remaining HSMP apps/Tier 1/ Tier 1 extension apps.hussainkothari wrote:Just a thought.. With T1 only in India and UK, their processing times are over 5 weeks. How do you think they would manage the rest of the world? Its unbelievable that they would be holding passports for more than 6+ weeks for many people. They and we are going to have a tough time!
This will also be beneficial to New Tier 1 applicants outside UK, because it will take less time for their application to be decided.
