UK IMMIGRATION UPDATE 10th JUNE 2011
- by Judith Hinds

 

  As part of the Government�s commitment to reviewing the UK Immigration System to achieve its overall aim of reducing net migration they have now launched a 12 week consultation on the following proposals:

� re-branding Tier 2 (the skilled worker category) as temporary, ending the assumption that settlement will be available for those who enter on this route;

� allowing certain categories of Tier 2 migrant, for example those earning over �150,000 or occupations of a specific economic or social value to the UK, to retain an automatic route to settlement;

� creating a new category into which, after three years in the UK, the most exceptional Tier 2 migrants may switch and go on to apply for settlement;

� allowing Tier 2 migrants who do not switch into a settlement route to stay for a maximum of five years with the expectation that they and any dependants will leave at the end of that time;

� introducing an English language requirement for adult dependants of Tier 2 migrants applying to switch into a route to settlement;

� restricting the maximum period of leave for Tier 5 Temporary Workers to 12 months; and
� closing or reforming routes for overseas domestic workers.

The British Chambers of Commerce have expressed their concern and have stated that the immigration system has to protect the economy as well as the UK borders.

Returning valuable migrant workers who are rejected for settlement would be incredibly disruptive to companies of all sizes, and to the UK's economic recovery. These proposals may also deter some skilled workers from coming to the UK in the first place. The criteria for which migrants do get settlement rights must reflect business needs and the economy, as well as political considerations.
