Petition Protect the rights of non EU migrant workers who are already present in UK

More details

We call upon the government to be fair in protecting the rights of non-EU migrant workers who are already present in UK by:
1. Not restricting the rights of current Tier 1 Post Study Work visa holders by forcing them to switch to Tier 2 (Tier 1 General is now closed).
2. Not restricting their rights to settlement as this has already been factored into their decision to come to UK.
3. Not requiring Tier 2 visa holders who have been granted unrestricted CoS initially to have to go through the Residential Labour Market Test if they incur a change in salary (through a promotion for example). This adversely affects Tier 1 PSW switchers into Tier 2.
