From Migration Expert UK
From the Staff at Migration Expert, we wish you a Happy New Year!
Welcome to the January Edition of the Migration Expert Newsletter. In December, the UKBA announced that they were closing offshore Tier 1 (General) applications. This means that people outside of the UK are unable to submit an application for a Tier 1 (General) visa to the UK. Onshore applicants may proceed with their applications until 5th April 2011.
In UK Immigration news, the UK Government is now issuing biometric resident permits and is requiring all Tier 1 and Tier 5 visa holders to carry biometric permits. Also, the UK Border Agency has announced the extension of Student Visitor Visa for migrants studying English language courses.
If you have taken our online Visa Eligibility Assessment and passed, we recommend that you start your application now while you still meet the criteria. If you took our assessment previously and did not meet the criteria, we recommend you retake the assessment, as many things have changed and you may now qualify. Please contact Migration Expert to find out more. |
