New Immigration Rules For People Residing In UK

Every year on the 5th of April the changes to the Immigration Rule usually come into effect. Keeping a track of all these changes can be a tough task for many. One of the major changes to the Immigration rules this year is probably in the route to settlement. From 6 April 2016, those applying for settlement as being under the Tier 2 category under the point based system and who entered Tier 2 under the rules in force from 6 April 2011 must be earning at least £35,000 per annum.  The changes will be introduced for indefinite leave to remain applications under the Tier 2 (General) visa category, and the Tier 2 (Minister of Religion) and Tier 2 (Sportsperson) visa categories.

These new rules on Tier 2 settlement will apply to anyone who entered or switched into Tier 2 category  of the Points-Based System under the rules in force from 6 April 2011 and those who do not apply for or obtain settlement will have to leave the UK on expiry of their leave and wait 12 months before they can make a new application to return under the Tier 2 category under the U.K immigration law. This £35,000 threshold will be held at that level until April 2018. But for those who will be eligible to apply for settlement from April 2018 should be aware that the threshold will be reviewed to take account of wage inflation.

Tier 2 General migrants who are working in shortage occupations and also those Tier 2 General migrants in designated ‘PhD level’ occupations will be exempt from the settlement pay threshold.  There was initially a lot of talk about the nurses being adversely affected by this change in the rules, however, as the occupation of nurses have been reinstated  on the shortage occupation list they do not have anything to worry about.

Overall, after the completion of 5 years in the country if the applicants under the Tier 2 category who are not on the shortage of occupation list and are unable to show this high income threshold then they will have no option but to return to their home country.

Shalini V Bhargava on the set of Zee Companion discussing the ever changing UK immigration rules

Today I had a great discussion on various aspects of immigration with the very experienced solicitor Shalini V Bhargava about various visa categories and their eligibility for applying for an ILR. In the past few years a lot of changes in the rules have taken place and very soon the option of obtaining an ILR may as well be closed down.

We spoke about the visitor visa and also about the sponsorship part where the person residing here takes full responsibility for providing for either part of or the entire trip. Shalini also said that people have to be careful when sponsoring someone — they must be aware that if the person whom they are sponsoring faces any problem like if the person falls ill then only the emergency costs will be taken care of by NHS and the cost for the remaining treatment will have to be paid for by the sponsor and that might turn out to be very expensive. So whenever you are planning to sponsor anyone it’s better to be aware of the responsibilities that come along with it.

Shalini also talked about the changes in the Tier 1 (General) category whereby extensions will closed in this category from the 6th April 2015. She suggested that people apply for extension the earliest being 28 days before the leave is expiring. The Indefinite Leave to Remain applications in this category will be stopped from April 2018.

She also said that in most cases where it’s not just a simple case, it’s always better to take an opinion from the solicitor.
