I totally agree with Bhaskaran.These rules wil not solve any immigration problem. If the government of UK really wants to get rid of the overflow of immigrants, first it should get rid of illegal immigrants who are not at all doing any good to the economy.
The new changed rules for HSMP are really impractical.
After your arrival to the UK, it takes about 3-4 or sometimes even 6 months to land up with a good job, doesn't matter how highly skilled you are. The employers often prefer to recruit employees who are having the same kind of experience, but earned in the UK. Which clearly is, not possible for a first time immigrant. And at the end of their leave, when one applies for an extension, according to the new criteria, the government asks to provide 12 months wage slip with a certain level of income, which is NOT AT ALL POSSIBLE!
As a condition for the initial application, one is asked to make UK his home and there are some people who have actually left everthing back, including their career, houses and good lives in the hope of settling down in the UK.
Isnt't unfair to them?
To the extent, it would still be fair and can be understood if the homeoffice implements these new rules and set it for the people who will make their initial applications in the future but enforcing these new rules on the people who are already on HSMP and after one or two years of struggle and hard work, when they are just getting integrated in the society and enriching the economy, IS COMPLETE INJUSTICE!
Wasn't being economically active the only condition for the extension then? Can they change everything going back and create more points now in just a couple of months now? Can you reduce your age? Can you double or triple your salary to get more points? Instead, they are robbed off the points they had like for skilled spouse and work experience..
It's simply cheating with people who planned their lives according to the contemperory rules and now directly being asked to leave..
UK is called a wellfare nation where people can get asylum and seek benefits even if they are not doing any good to this land and many of them actually are well off now. But why skilled people who are working hard, paying taxes and have not even access to the public funds should be the sufferers?
