The Immigration department has introduced the Tier 1 Visa limit from 19 July 2010. This is for the first time that there has been an immigration quota on Tier 1 visas, previously known as the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme. If you are planning to make an initial application for a Tier 1 visa the two main changes to the Tier 1 visa are advised as follows:
Tier 1 has been announced with interim limit for this visa application from 19 July 2010 to 31 March 2011. The applicants are requested to gain 100 points instead of the previous 95 points.
The UK Border Agency (UKBA) now has a monthly immigration cap on Tier 1visas. If an applicant apply and the Tier 1 visas limit has been reached then the application will be considered for the visa allocation for the following month. Applicant can still submit the application even if the visa limit has been reached. However, the visa will not be issued until visas are actually available.
The processing time will also be longer to process Tier 1 visa as before on the previous months. If you meet the new requirements and the pass mark you can consider in applying as soon as possible to avoid delay in the processing time.
If an applicant wishes to apply under the Post-study work, Entrepreneur or Investor categories of Tier 1 could contact us to assess and advise.
You are also given points on your earnings of £150,000 your points score will increase from 75 to 80 points. If an applicant has a Masters degree in Business Administration your point score will increase from 75 to 80.
If you wish to come under the Tier 1 visa category you should consider applying right now. You have a good chance to qualify under Tier 1 if you meet the above requirements and also should apply before the Tier 1 visa quota starts to affect processing time on your application under Tier 1.
