Before Tier 2: Only for non EU countries with a cap of 22,000 per year (if applied from abroad). Also switching employers requires a labour market test (advertise job positions for 28 days to prove no suitable UK/EU work eligible for the post) and was much more difficult for companies to sponsor

Now: EU/Non EU at par. No Cap on number of visas issues and no labour market test. So switching from one employer to another is much easier and only requires an offer in hand

With both , you can apply for British Indefinite leave to remain/Permanent Residency after 5 years (+1 more for passport)

In Summary, much easier to change employers and get sponsored with the new points based system vs the older ‘Tier 2’

So if someone switch from Tier 2 to skilled are they still eligible for ILR from 5 year route ??

How do you answer the question about yourself in i-944 where you can indicate "self" and it asks you if you live with said individual "self", and if this individual is filing for an immigration benefit with you or has in the past (again it's weird because you're talking about yourself.. ).

At Amex are there any possibility of getting sponsored to work outside India. IJP or within the same team?

I am a woman Business Analyst. How can you respond when a solution architect is throwing you under the bus and wants you to do his job deflecting things back at you of things you ask or you identify are needed? (He is an Indian man) example: look into databases and queries to define solution, provide to be workflows, identify back end data points, reverse engineer an excel spreadsheet with formulas, queries and macros so he can create the solution.
