Note :
From Spring 2008, immigration to the UK will undergo a complete process of reform, replacing much of the current system of UK visas and UK work permits with a five tier points-based immigration service (PBS). The new system will replace specialist routes to living and working in the UK such as the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme, or HSMP, and will supersede the UK work permit visa system, streamlining and rationalizing the wide variety of immigration visa services available at present.
Tier 1 Highly skilled individuals to contribute to growth and productivity.
Tier 2 Skilled workers with a job offer to fill gaps in the UK labour force
Tier 3 Low skilled workers to fill specific labour shortages
Tier 4 Students
Tier 5 Temporary workers and youth mobility: people coming to the UK to satisfy primarily non-economic objectives.
New Penalties:
The government has announced changes to the general grounds of refusal for immigration applications that will take effect on 1 April 2008. These changes are found in the Statement of Changes in the Immigration Rules HC 321. The new rules in HC 321 will severely punish people who have breached any of the UK immigration rules by imposing a mandatory period of exclusion from the UK ranging from 1 – 10 years.
Examples of breaches are:
• Overstay your visa in the UK by more than 28 days
• Enter the UK illegally
• Use deception in an immigration application (e.g. submitting false documents)
• Breach their conditions of stay while in the UK (e.g. a student working in excess of the permitted 20 hours)

New requirements for student applications under Tier 4 of the points-based system have come into effect today. The new requirements are as follows: We have raised the minimum level of English language course that Tier 4 (General) students can study, to level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Before you can apply to study an English language course in the UK, you will need to show that your English language skills are at CEFR level B1 or higher. (There are exceptions if you are a government-sponsored student or if you want to study a pre-sessional English course that meets certain requirements.) If you are applying under Tier 4 (General) to study a course that is below degree level and is not a foundation degree, we have reduced the amount of work that you can do during term time to 10 hours per week. (The maximum level used to be 20 hours per week). If you are applying under Tier 4 (Child) and you are 16 or 17 years old, we have reduced the amount of work that you can do during term time to 10 hours per week. (The maximum level used to be 20 hours per week). If you are applying to study a course under Tier 4 (General) for six months or less, you will no longer be able to bring your family members (known as 'dependants'). If you are applying to study a course lower than degree level (excluding foundation degree courses) under Tier 4 (General), your dependants will no longer be able to work (unless they qualify to work in their own right under Tier 1 or Tier 2 of the points-based system). If you have submitted and paid for your application before 3 March 2010, you will be considered against the rules that were in force at the time when you applied.
