Work Permit in UK
The UK has introduced a
number of new UK immigration,
naturalization, UK visa, work
permit and UK working visa
categories in the last few
years. The points based skilled
immigration category the Highly
Skilled Migrant Programme
(HSMP), introduced in January
2002, proved to be very
successful.
However, the HSMP has been
replaced by Tier 1 (General),
part of the UK's new five-tier
points based system which will
encompass all work, study, and
training immigration routes into
the country. People seeking
extensions to their HSMP visa
are now required to extend their
leave to remain under Tier 1
(General) for General Highly
Skilled Migrants. Since April
2008, applicants located in
India have been required to file
initial highly skilled migrant
applications under the Tier 1
(General) rules. This was
followed by the rest of the
world on 30 June 2008 as the
Tier 1 (General) scheme fully
replaced the HSMP.
You may have to wait months for
your UK visa application to be
processed by the UK Border
Agency, or spend the whole day
there to then find that you do
not have all the relevant
documentation. We are OISC
registered and can submit your
UK visa application to the Home
Office to be dealt with on the
same day.
