Changes to UK Tier 1 visa from 1 October 2009 The following changes to the Tier 1 visa of the points based system will come into place on 1 October 2009:The most significant change is probably that under the Tier 1 (General) visa students will no longer gain points for previous earnings before they became students. Therefore, you will only gain points for earnings over the last fifteen months if you were actually working during this time and earning a high enough salary to be awarded points under previous earnings. In practice this is likely to mean that students in the UK and recent students outside the UK wishing to apply under Tier 1 will be unable to do so. Students will probably have to come under Tier 1 Post Study Work or Tier 2. Then at a future date they may be in a position to apply for Tier 1. The Government says that this will better demonstrate an applicant's work experience and earning capability and suitability for the UK Labor market.... workpermit.com |
