Immigration & Naturalization
- The United Kingdom has begun overhauling its immigration law and implementing a points-based system for non-European Union migrants wishing to come to the UK to work, study and train.
- The new immigration system will be broken into five tiers that will replace the current 80 or so routes that exist now.
- Each tier will have different conditions, entitlements, and entry requirements for migrants wishing to work in the UK.
- Naturalization is a way of applying for British citizenship and obtaining your own British passport which is open to people who have indefinite leave to remain (Permanent Residence) and have lived in the United Kingdom for a minimum period.
Five Tiers
The five tiers outlined below clearly define the specifications for different visas. A mere graduate who can satisfy the basic points criteria to individuals possessing the prescribed financial strength can gain entry and eventually settle in the UK through the points based route.
- Tier 1 visa- Migrants with desirable professional skills, post-graduates, entrepreneurs, and investors.
- Tier 2 visa -Skilled workers with an offer of employment.
- Tier 3 visa -Temporary, low skilled workers.
- Tier 4 visa -Students.
- Tier 5 visa -Youth mobility schemes/ temporary workers.
UK Immigration for Family
- Marriage - Spouses of UK citizens or permanent residents (mainly those with indefinite leave to remain) may come to the UK under marriage visa category, and are able to work as soon as a visa is granted.
- Unmarried Partners - It has been possible since 1997 for unmarried partners both in a heterosexual and same sex relationship to gain entry to the UK using an unmarried partners visa. Applications for unmarried partner visas tend to be more difficult than those based on marriage as you need to show that you have been together for two years and that it is a permanent relationship.
- Fiancé/e of an UK Citizen, permanent resident or EU Citizen - The requirements for immigration to UK as a Fiancé/e’s are very similar to the rules for married couples. You may wish to consider very carefully whether it is best to marry first and then apply for entry as this will avoid the necessity of making a fiancé/e application and then a second application to remain as a spouse. However, please note that it is no longer possible for most visitors to change status to a spouse visa.
