What are the changes to Tier 1 (General) visas?
If you are already in the UK under the Tier 1 (General) visa and are applying for an extension or you are in the UK under another immigration category and wish to switch to Tier 1 (General) you will not come under the interim limit.
The passmark for the Tier 1 visa (General) will increase from 95 to 100 points from 19 July 2010 for many applicants.
There will be a monthly interim limit on Tier 1 (General) visas from 19 July 2010. If in any one month your application is received after the limit is reached you will have to wait and your application will then be considered under the limit for the following month.
If you are in the UK in any of the following categories and wish to extend your stay or switch to Tier 1 (General), you will only need to gain the lower points score of 95 points:
- Tier 1 (General)
- Highly Skilled Migrant Programme
