Changing Immigration Rules

From 1 July 2013 UKBA is introducing new rules for Tier 4 Point base system including other categories as well.

  • Changes to the documents required for approved English language tests.
  • Clarification that ‘regulated financial institutions’ means those regulated to provide personal savings accounts or student loans.
  • More legal courses are now exempt from the time limit on study for Tier 4 student visas and
  • A resident labour market test is not needed for applications for a religious worker (Tier 5) extension.

Other changes include:

  • Some minor updates and clarifications to the family Immigration Rules;
  • Changes to the list of financial institutions in Bangladesh and Ghana from which documents can be verified.

To know more about these changes we have to wait until next month.
