I won’t hold my breath but I will be keeping an eye on this. I had been eligible for a HPI visa and fully intended to apply, but life got in the way while I was saving up and the clock ran out.

I’m a licensed architect in the states and the only thing keeping me from becoming a chartered architect via reciprocity is it requires a visa. It’s tough convincing a company to sponsor me via the skilled worker route because I’m not already chartered. Kind of a chicken-and-egg scenario. So this visa route would genuinely help people like me.

It doesn’t under American trademark case law. Add to the fact it’s in another country and I’m certain their legal team wouldn’t bother.

I watched four films this week, all of which I’d seen before (so clearly I quite like them all):

• It Happened One Night (1934)
• Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939)
• Foreign Correspondent (1940)
• 21 Jump Street (2012)

Really tough to choose one, but would probably have to give the nod to Mr Smith. Jimmy Stewart is just too good.
