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)

Roll-out of new rules for foreign students

03 March 2010

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.

We have today implemented the final phase of the points-based system's student tier. This has resulted in two major changes for Tier 4 sponsors. You will need to provide all potential students with a CAS reference number and your sponsor licence number (SLN). You will also need to give them all the information they will need when making their application. This information is sometimes called a 'CAS statement'; it is up to sponsors to decide its format and how to send it to their potential students. A 'CAS statement' may contain

Foreign students from outside Europe wanting to come to the UK to study will be required to meet stricter entry criteria, the Home Secretary announced today The new measures for students include: * a good standard of English (equivalent of holding just below a GCSE in a foreign language) will be needed to come to the UK and study to improve English language competency further; * a good standard of English (again equivalent of holding just below a GCSE in a foreign language) will need to be demonstrated in order to study any other course below degree level; * restricting the lowest-level courses (A levels and equivalent) to only the most trusted institutions; * halving the amount of time a student studying below first degree level or on a foundation degree course will be able to work, to just 10 hours during term time; * a ban on bringing in dependants for anyone studying a course for less than six months; and * a ban on dependants of anyone studying a course lower than foundation or undergraduate degree level from working - they will face removal from the UK if found doing so. * a ban on foreign students studying below degree level if the course includes a work placement - unless that course is being provided by a university, college or training provider which has the status of 'highly trusted sponsor'; * a requirement for students to demonstrate their English language ability by passing an approved secure test - this will apply to all students studying below (foundation) degree level, including those coming to study English language; and * the introduction of tougher criteria for defining which course providers count as 'highly trusted sponsors' of foreign students. We expect that all publicly funded universities and colleges will count as highly trusted, and we will ensure that there is a rapid but rigorous system for ensuring that private training colleges can also gain that status as soon as possible.
