New visa regulations in UK

by swagatadhar » Thu Nov 25, 2010 2:03 am
Hello Friends,

Anybody planning to apply to UK schools this fall ? With all the new visa regulations for non-EU migrants and students in UK, will it be difficult to acquire a student visa? Let me know what you all are planning to do.

I wrote to Cranfield adcom for their feedback and they replied that its difficult to comment until final decisions come out.
Considering round 2 is approaching fast, i am wondering whether to apply now and wait for the good or bad news about the visas. What do you think?

Regards,
Swagata Dhar

It is very unlikely that the change in immigration regulation would effect a post graduate course. If at all, it would make a difference to undergraduate courses (diplomas, certificates etc). Best place to check out is at immigrationboards.com

Here is a reply I got when I contacted a current student from LBS for advice ... I believe Tier 4 is the one that you are worried about.

====================================================================================================
On 22 March the UK Border Agency made a statement outlining changes for applicants and students from outside the European Economic Area and Switzerland .
· Students admitted to study at London Business School will be eligible for a Tier 4 visa.
· Dependants of students studying on any of the London Business School programmes will be able to work in the UK , according to the UK Border Agency.
· In terms of what happens after graduation, it has now been confirmed that the Tier 1 Post Study Work route will not accept new applications from April 2012.
· However, based on what we currently know, in country transfers from Tier 4 to Tier 2 (employer sponsored) visas will not be capped. Most companies have a Tier 2 licence.
· London Business School continues to work closely with the UK Border Agency regarding the changes.
