New restrictions on NVQ students in manila

there is a rumour that from April 1st dependants will no longer be able to work.. i cannot see it happening but who knows..


but its crazy that a student can be sponsored by someone, and the student can bring their dependants, who can work , so in fact the student is dependant on their dependent ..

also for tier 1, i think its from next year, you need a masters degree minimum and also be earning £20k, why are employers here not prepared to train brits instead of importing workers,

In the current economic climate it would seem like a good way of making more jobs available for British (or European...) workers. Not sure though how many people would be affected and whether it would really be worth doing.

100,000s , many on hsmp, workpermits and student visas bring their dependents and are working

The problem is I don't think the government would want to impact the HSMP/Tier 1 visa holders. Not sure about the work permit holders. The students are the easiest targets and wouldn't be a loss if they left because their 'dependant' could no longer work.
