[indent=1]

[color=#666666][b]15 March 2012[/b][/color]
Today, Thursday 15 March 2012, a written ministerial statement has been laid in Parliament outlining a number of changes to the Immigration Rules.
Most of the changes will come into effect on 6 April 2012. Some of the changes to Tier 2 will affect those who were granted leave after 6 April 2011.
The changes include:
[b] Migrants under the points-based system[/b]

[b] Tier 1 - high-value migrants[/b][/indent][list]
[*]Closing the Tier 1 (Post-study work) route.
[*]Introducing the new Tier 1 (Graduate entrepreneur) route.
[*]Introducing new provisions for switching from Tier 1 (Graduate entrepreneur) or Tier 1 (Post-study work) into Tier 1 (Entrepreneur).
[*]Renewing the 1000 place limit for Tier 1 (Exceptional talent) for each of the next 2 years.
[/list]
[b] Tier 2 - skilled workers[/b]
[list]
[*]Limiting the total amount of temporary leave that may be granted to a Tier 2 migrant to 6 years (which applies to those who entered after 6 April 2011).
[*]Introducing a new minimum pay requirement of £35,000 or the appropriate rate for the job, for Tier 2 general and sportsperson migrants who wish to settle here from April 2016 (with exemptions for those in PhD level and shortage occupation categories).
[*]Introducing a 'cooling-off period' across all the Tier 2 routes. Tier 2 migrants will need to wait for 12 months from the expiry of their previous visa before they may apply for a further Tier 2 visa.
[*]Introducing new post-study arrangements for graduates switching into Tier 2.
[/list]
[b] Tier 4 - students[/b]

Implementing the final set of changes to the student visa system that were announced in March 2011, including:[list]
[*]Extending the interim limit for sponsors that have applied for educational oversight and Highly Trusted Sponsor status and have not yet been assessed.
[*]Introducing limits on the time that can be spent studying at degree level.
[*]Tightening work placement restrictions.
[/list]
[b] Tier 5 - temporary workers[/b]
[list]
[*]Limiting the length of time temporary workers can stay in the UK, under certain Government Authorised Exchange schemes, to a maximum of 12 months. The schemes affected are intern, work experience and youth exchange type programmes.
[*]Allowing sportspersons who enter under the Tier 5 creative and sporting sub-category to undertake some guest sports broadcasting work where they are not filling a permanent position.
[/list]
[b] Changes in all tiers of the points-based system[/b]
[list]
[*]Making curtailment mandatory where a migrant under Tiers 2, 4, or 5 of the points-based system has failed to start, or has ceased, their work or study with their sponsor. This includes cases where a sponsor notifies us, via the sponsor management system (SMS), that a migrant is no longer pursuing the purpose of their visa. The Rules will also set out the limited exceptions to mandatory curtailment.
[*]Reducing the curtailment threshold (the level of leave you have left which means that we will not normally pursue curtailment) from 6 months to 60 days.
[*]Increasing the funds applicants will need to provide evidence of, in order to meet the maintenance requirements for all routes in the points-based system. For Tier 4 and Tier 5 Youth Mobility Scheme the changes will come into effect on 6 April 2012. For Tier 1, Tier 2 and temporary workers under Tier 5 the changes will come into effect on 14 June 2012.
[/list]
[b]
Visitors[/b]
[list]
[*]The new visitor route will allow a small group of professionals, artists, entertainers and sportspersons who are invited to come to the UK to undertake short-term permitted fee paid engagements for up to 1 month.
[/list]
[b] Overseas domestic workers[/b]
[list]
[*]Restricting all overseas domestic workers (ODW) to only work for the employer with whom they entered the UK, or whom they came to join.
[*]Removing the right for all migrants under the ODW category to apply for settlement.
[*]Strengthening the requirement for the employer of an ODW to provide evidence of an existing employer relationship, and introducing a requirement for agreed, written terms and conditions of employment to be produced, as part of the application for entry clearance.
[*]Permitting all ODWs who have applied for leave to enter or remain on or before 5 April 2012, to continue to be treated under Immigration Rules in place on that date.
[*]Restricting ODWs in private households to work for an employer who is a visitor to the UK. Permission to stay in the UK will be limited to a maximum of 6 months or the period of the employer's stay whichever is shorter. Removing the current provision for ODWs to be accompanied by dependants.
[*]Permitting ODWs in diplomatic households to apply to extend their stay for 12 months at a time up to a maximum of 5 years, or the length of the diplomat's posting, whichever is shorter.
[/list]
[b]
Sponsors[/b]
[list]
[*]Introducing a Premium Customer Service for those A-rated sponsors in Tiers 2 and 5 who wish to apply and pay for a range of benefits. We will publish the full range of service benefits in due course. The service will launch in the 2012-13 financial year.
[/list]
In addition to these changes, the government is also making amendments to the extension of leave to remain.
The Home Office has today published 2 financial impact assessments: one on settlement and another on Tier 5 and overseas domestic workers, as well as a policy equality statement.
