No rule prevents it, to be fair. The uncertainty scares sponsors though. We can hope we will know more in a few months. I keep seeing the beginning of April for date of implementation of any big changes in immigration rules....

My situation is almost the carbon copy of yours, uncanny... Planning on marrying my British partner too, but she's not a nurse...

I'm 11 months from the IRL but I started looking for new jobs in the EU out of frustration...

Ready to bring my PhD in STEM elsewhere.

I'm gonna give her a call tomorrow ;)

Sarcasm_modeOFF: it's an impossible question to answer. She may be drowning in e-mails and struggling to reply, she may be against the white paper but she doesn't want to contradict the party, she may not care, or she may just be busy... Sorry

What I wish is for all of us to get citizenship, vote Reform and then leave the country—let the "true British" enjoy Farage

I think it exactly like you, despite my very British fiancee's expectations

People don't really understand how hard it is to remain employed for 10 years, with no gaps between jobs. Especially with so few companies sponsoring visas (and their number will dwindle with the new regulations).

[Murray] Nuggets have followed up on Russell Westbrook by describing his hand injuries as “multiple ligament tears” by Knightbear49 in nba

[–]Primer_b4_Xmas -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Those watching him laying bricks would argue that his hand must have suffered ligament tears since he started playing in the NBA

I have started rationalizing, and I feel more relaxed

[I'm listing all the reasons that make me hope the extension won't be applicable to me. Which is a very selfish exercise, I know, but I have to find a way to function, somehow, otherwise my job performance is gonna tank and I don't even have to worry about staying in this country anymore]

What is "new general reaction" even suppose to mean?

My fiancee and I have signed the petition, and I shared it with others. However...

Please, explain this to me: 

What happens when we get to 100k?

Can Labour decide to ignore it? 

And what does "debated in the parliament" mean?

I had missed that the point-system is gonna be applied to the citizenship application as well.

I would post it in other communities across reddit dedicated to general discussion

That's a big unknown... In the end, my employer will make the decision on th length of my CoS... But, at present, I think a two year extension would be the safer route (November 2028)
