Home Office Minister, Beverley Hughes said:

"We continue to welcome the many foreign nationals who choose to study, work and live in the UK - they boost our economy and add to our thriving cosmopolitan society. Many apply to extend their stay each year, and it is right that they should meet the costs of that. Charging for the cost of processing these applicati##被过滤## will save the taxpayer £90 million a year.

"The Government has made significant investment in recent years to improve all aspects of the Immigration and Nationality Directorate, including the standard of service people receive when they submit applicati##被过滤##.

From 1 August, all applicati##被过滤## must be submitted on new forms which have payment details attached. These forms will be available from the Home Office website from today and on request in hard copy from 21 July 2003.
After 1 August, we aim to process postal applicati##被过滤## within a maximum of 13 weeks, and 70 per cent should be within three weeks.
Premium applicati##被过滤## can be made by personal callers at the Public Enquiry Offices in Croydon, Glasgow, Birmingham and Liverpool. These applicati##被过滤## will be dealt with on the same day, as long as the application is fully complete and no further enquiries need to be made.
