Lexusgs430: I was thinking about something on the train yesterday as I haven't seen it happen before Can a Muslim student from Nigeria carry 3 wives as dependents to the UK? I mean when they still allowed dependents.I see these Arab looking guys with 2/3 wives on the bus with their burqa and I wonder how the visa process looked like Will the VO frown at it? |

justwise: Yup. Even if you have settled status or own a passport your intended partner is still bound by it. British citizens themselves can't marry from other countries and have them come over unless they will earn same sizable amount. |

justwise: Yes, this bit I agree with and I expect it to be challenged in the courts because of the unfairness to their own citizens who should not have to choose between leaving their homeland or leaving their loved ones. But then again, the govt will argue that they can bring their family over on the 10 year route , if they are not able to meet the income requirements for the normal 5 year route. So there is still a way for families to be together (it will just take longer to reach settlement) |

Goke7: But @hustla just gave several examples of recent immigrants he knows who are thriving here in extremely good roles. Hustla himself is about to land a juicy role. And there are many more examples, even on other routes such as the global talent visa So I don't think the UK has any problem attracting the "best and brightest". |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Zahra29: 10:02am On Dec 06, 2023 |
Goke7: How are they punishing people who want to stay permanently? Which group of people do you mean? |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by hustla(m): 10:07am On Dec 06, 2023 |
Zahra29: Its a one sided submission and that's where the issue lies. Folks in Biomedical sciences, Education, HR should be able to thrive just as much as those in Tech. I do understand that they have to do what they need to do for their political party to thrive but the policies may stifle immigrants who are paying every step of the way For instance, I may have to pay Β£2900 for PSW. That extra Β£1000 could have been used to write CISSP Or contribute towards buying a house.. Or even visit home but alas.. Renewal in Canada is less than Β£350 so you can't blame folks who have issues with their policies 2 Likes |

hustla: Canada that is the the western beacon of liberal immigration has an annual quota on the number of PRs it issues out, and I read that currently the number of international students exceeds this quota by several hundred thousand. How many immigrants in the US had to leave earlier on when they lost their jobs and sponsorships, despite working in the US for many years. Why don't canada and the US just print out visas to allow all these people to stay back permanently? Look at the tougher policies that Sweden has just rolled out, Sweden used to be very liberal. Norway has stopped free tuition for overseas students, I heard Germany is doing the same from next year. Every western country is facing a huge and unrelenting demand from immigrants seeking a better life, and all are having to write and rewrite policies that will put their interests first and cherry pick the immigrants that they do want. They can't absorb everyone so they are being selective (even to refugees), which may sound unfair to some but unfortunately that's the current state of affairs. 3 Likes |

Zahra29: That is not true, the recent immigration stats say it all. How many people are landing those juicy roles compared to the vacancies available? recent stats even show the brightest are also leaving the country. That's why I laugh when people complain about the kind of people who do all sorts of fraud to come into the UK which is a true reflection of the kind of people the UK is attracting We can defend the UK for all we want with their policy decisions but a system that cannot segment or differentiate the kind of immigrants wanted can never thrive please don't talk about the shortage skilled list, that's a disaster. 5 Likes |

Hello ... please can anyone confirm if someone on care route that just apply can entre the UK with family before the new law start in the spring of 2024 as announced.. thanks I will appreciate your response |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Goke7: 10:39am On Dec 06, 2023 |
Zahra29: Please don't go there, they responded by allowing people to get visitor visas to stay back and begin to apply for jobs that can sponsor them, they also became dynamic by reducing the requirements for some other pathways like eb2 to retain professionals, the UK will never do that but ask people to leave immediately, you see the difference? The same thing with Canada they eased the burden on some visas which resulted in the current explosion of immigration. The first rule is humanity first which is lacking here. 3 Likes |

Goke7: Visitor visas with what duration? Also, the UK gives 60 days to find another job, they don't ask people to leave immediately. How come the US requires them to find a sponsor,which then limits the pool of potential employers? Why not allow them to apply to any company, no restrictions? |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Zahra29: 11:02am On Dec 06, 2023 |
Goke7: But not impossible. There are exceptions - a British citizen who is not able to meet the new income threshold can still bring their partner over, just on a 10 yr route, as is currently the case Wait until Trump gets back into power, we all know how he feels about migration from s**th**e countries. Im sure the UK will soon appear extremely liberal in comparison 1 Like |
