You're on a £45k job with sponsorship that took blood and tears and hundreds of applications to get. You can't switch jobs at will even if they pay more because companies that want to sponsor are so few.
Now your hopes are dashed cos you have to do that same job for years and the chances of moving to another sponsored job that pays higher are so slim with the current job market.
it's just nuts.
to put things in context for the thick ones:
- You have to renew your visa every few years until the ten years are done. So visa costs + IHS fees. Worse if you’ve got a family so thousands of £ spent out of pocket for each renewal.
- You cannot switch jobs at will no matter how bad things at your current employment gets.
- Employers now wield all the power.
- The government now has precedent. They can change the rules again just around the time people are nearing their qualifying dates for settlement.
- It’s beyond politics cos people’s lives are at stake.
make your points without wishing another pathway got the shorter end of the stick.

the unfair part of this is subjecting other people earning less than £50k to the 10 year wait.
Makes no damn sense cos a lot of skilled people are earning between £40,000 and £50,000. Ideally, they should be earning more but because it’s the UK, that’s what they get, and now they have to wait longer to earn settlement.
Shabana said she doesn't give a shit about when anybody came into the country. So whatever rules they implement will apply to everyone as at when the rules are implemented.
Said they're not bound by any law to abide by any talks around retrospective applications. Na wa.
you know those long waits require visa renewals, right? Which costs money? And this is just one of the issues immigrants have to grapple with. Are you lot this obtuse?
he is doing a job. He's not acting for your pleasure or satisfaction. You may love them but your love is tied to what he does for a living.
You people really overrate yourselves.

great country and all but its people and leaders take so much pride in dishing out bad vibes. It's ridiculous.
I am not even looking up to this; whatever she says, so be it.
Two of my course mates, a Ghanaian and an Indian who got tech jobs immediately after we finished school, just moved to healthcare and support jobs last week because their companies said they could not renew their work visas after three years of working with the company, as they could not get sponsorship from the Home Office.
In order not to become overstayers or return to Ghana and India respectively, they had to jump on care visas last week.
Tell me, how would these people fulfill their potentials?
