New immigration regulations

My daughter and her partner are hoping to join me in the UK as residents in a year or two, but these new regulations look frightening. I've got my leave to remain, and am married to a UK citizen, been here in Scotland for 9 years.

They would be looking to enter based on a highly-skilled employment basis. They would probably have some savings and want to purchase a home. Does anyone have thoughts on how to proceed under the circumstances?  And does anyone know if Scotland has any chance of getting more devolved powers to control her own immigration policies, as has been talked about at one point?

Thanks for any thoughts.

It will be a case of looking what the rules are when they want a visa. Then looking again at new rules after that.

This present government got less than 10 million votes in the General Election last year.  Neither Labour or Conservatives want Proportional Representation, as many other European countries have. With the right wing anti-immigrantion party Reform getting huge gains in the recent elections, Labour are looking at being wiped out at the next general election.  It's looking likely Labour will lose Wales too to Reform. Hence why Labour have suddenly changed tact on immigration to try to keep their seats: their white paper about all the visa changes to stop immigration. e.g. 10 years to ILR instead of 5 years; higher earnings required to get a work visa etc.

And does anyone know if Scotland has any chance of getting more devolved powers to control her own immigration policies, as has been talked about at one point?

Scotland tried that before and it was all over the internet on how to get to England via an easy visa to Scotland. Advising people that once they had ILR, they could move to England as they were then no longer tied to a Scottish employer.
