New UK Government – New Immigration Rules

Monday, July 5th, 2010

The UK general elections are over and the government formation is in place. As per the recent reviews and news, the change in the government seems to be showing an impact on the existing immigration policy. As per the sources, it is said to make the immigration tougher. It will be a tough task for the immigration solicitors too, in serving their needy clients. The saying ‘survival of the fittest’ would aptly apply for the law firms and immigrants here after.

In the current political situation, it is very uncertain as to what changes can happen in the immigration policy. But it is evident that the immigration policy will become tougher. Changes like:

A. Setting a limitation on the number of immigrants from outside the European Union to bring down the immigration levels.

B. The existing point based immigration system would continue but only the economic migrants who bring more skill and value to the economy will be allowed to enter and remain in the UK.

C. To setup a national border police force with power to check and arrest the illegal immigrants and terrorists.

D. It is expected to make it a requirement that a spouse or partner coming to the UK should know/qualify English tests and many other changes as such!

 

It is opined that the immigrants from non-EU nations is increasing exorbitantly and is replacing the British work force to a greater extant. The immigration policy of the previous government and the immigration programs they introduced from time to time have let in a big wave of immigrants into the country which is now showing its effect. The ratio is too high of the immigrants of EU working in the UK compared to that of Britons working out of the EU. The upcoming government reforms seem to be having definite ideas of exercising control over the immigrants in the coming years, simultaneously encouraging only skilled or professional immigrants being allowed into the country.

 

From the above information, it is clear that immigrants who are applying for a visa to the UK may do so with out delay, probably once the government is in force, might not delay in making the changes in the immigration policy. Though the reforms are in the best interest of the country, many genuine and reasonable cases might face problems in obtaining a visa.
