My work permit has been extended, and I have been granted 'leave to remain' in the UK until May 17, 2013.
Sadly, because of policy changes made last year, I am no longer a 'highly skilled migrant' but a 'tier 1 migrant.' It means exactly the same thing, except I'm no longer allowed to become a professional sportsperson. (Coincidentally, my auto insurance forbids that as well.)
In 2013, once I have been in the UK for 5 years, I can apply for 'indefinite leave to remain' and a year later I can apply for full citizenship, provided I can pass a 'life in the UK' test. (I scored 75%.)
So well done, me. :-)
