Earned Statement。Consultation
收到海量讀者同客人PM,叫做skim read咗成個statement。。

💬: 幾時實行?
👨💼: 未知,亦未係最終方案。暫時會有12 weeks諮詢期,然後再整理收集到嘅意見。
。
💬: 「5+1」Confirmed‼️Hooray⁉️
👨💼: 純睇年數,Spouse Visa同BNO Visa係維持5年不變。但新加嘅永居「minimum requirement」,唔確定是否適用於BNO Visa。
1️⃣申請人年收入最少達到£12,570 (必須持續最少3年)
2️⃣英文試要求由B1提升到B2
3️⃣No Recourse to Public Fund。例如: 唔小心拎咗1個月牛奶金,永居年期自動加5年
💡Quoted P.23「Applicant has been in receipt of public funds for less than 12 months during route to settlement plus 5 Years」
4️⃣不良記錄收緊
💡Quoted P.8「Applicants must have a clean criminal record」
💡Quoted P.20「This reformed system … provide for the refusal…relating to their character and conduct」
👨💼: 其實新丁有接觸好多client,每人背後都有唔同故事,例如有好多client都仲係Skilled Worker Visa,另外又有6x歲client話自己英文唔好,我用咗成個鐘先說服到佢考英文試。
俾少少同理心,唔使一見到5年不變就香檳都開唔切。
。
💬: 實行性有幾高?
1️⃣Statement有句真係睇到著咗🔥其中一個永居年收入要求係適用於所有visa holder,包括dependant。
💡Quoted P.26「This will mean that a person admitted as the dependant of an economic migrant will not necessarily enjoy the same qualifying period for settlement as their partner」
即係一個全職丈夫,收入達到要求,3-5年取得永居。而生咗小朋友嘅太太,為咗照顧家庭,可能10年甚至更耐先可以永居⁉️
▪️呢個policy點睇都係indirect discrimination,點可能過到「Equality Act 2010」?
▪️除BNO Visa外,配偶申請永居係需要證明親密關係。「全職丈夫可以先永居」呢個先後次序,會唔會助長家暴情況?
。
2️⃣相關「Immigration Rules Change」適用於已喺英國生活嘅visa holder。
💡Quoted P.4「Everyone in the country today who has not already received indefinite to remain」
呢個情況新丁之前有講過,被Judicial Review風險極高:

所以statement P.27,Home Secretary話要透過questionnaire蒐集意見,睇吓會唔會有過渡性計劃 (Transitional Arrangments)。
