Impact of New UK Visa Policy on Professionals

New UK Visa policy changed the life of a lot of overseas professionals who were trying to stay in UK or turning their status to High Skilled Migrant Programme.
New UK Visa policy change will allow thousands of professionals' visas to return and work in the UK. The returning professionals were advised to leave the country when the immigration rules changed. Thousands of Indian professionals were left with no option but to return home from Britain since they did not qualify under the new criteria introduced.Under the new visa policy guidelines all such Indian and other non-EU professionals would now be allowed to return to Britain and resume work under the criteria which they first entered the UK. It is estimated that following the introduction of the criteria around 5,000 highly skilled migrants were forced to leave Britain. The rules which were passed by the UK border & immigration agency also saw many asians whom applied for extensions to their visas refused, and were instead served deportation orders.Despite this changed criteria, new policy guidance will now cover not only migrants who were approved, but also those who were refused extension under the unlawful rules entry to the UK again. It is also assumed that this will also apply to those migrants who did not apply for extensions and to migrants who have either switched immigration categories to more restrictive visa regimes.With many countries competing for highly skilled workers to aid their individual skills pools, the UK has been forced to re-evaluate the criteria which saw many professionals leave and to restore their status as Highly skilled migrants in the UK.
