http://www.expressindia.com/latest-news/UK-launch-new-visa-system-for-skilled-workers/290630/ I had gone to Cherry Blossom fest in DC with an old roommate of mine and was told me that he was thinking of going to work in the UK after working for 4 years in the US. The reason he told me was that in the UK if you get work visa/permit then after 5 years of being on that visa you become a permanent resident/Green Car staright away. And you don't need an employer to sposor you to get the work visa - just based on getting enough points -- based on your age, educational qualifications and earning power. Surprisingly the website has extra points if you have an MBA from a top univ --esp if degree is from the UK. Earning power requirement is different for different countries - for example if you earn $60,000 per year in the US it would get you same points as would a salary of Rs600,000 ($15,000) in India. Quite remarkable - it is quite similar to Canadian system. Australia has a similar system - he told me. Surprisingly today is this new article that the requirement has been changed a bit - on the UK work visa u can work initially for 3 years instead of 2 as previously allowed. http://www.expressindia.com/latest-news/UK-launch-new-visa-system-for-skilled-workers/290630/ Umesh Umesh Sharma Washington D.C. 1-202-215-4328 [Cell] Ed.M. - International Education Policy Harvard Graduate School of Education, Harvard University, Class of 2005 http://www.uknow.gse.harvard.edu/index.html (Edu info) http://hbswk.hbs.edu/ (Management Info) www.gse.harvard.edu/iep (where the above 2 are used ) http://harvardscience.harvard.edu/ http://jaipurschool.bihu.in/ --------------------------------- Yahoo! for Good helps you make a difference _______________________________________________ assam mailing list [email protected] http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org
