The UK government set to cap UK tier 1 visa within three months. The cap on permanent immigration will be come into effect in mid 2011.

The highly skilled visa entitles individuals having at par experience and talent in their field, will end within three months. The cap is a result of reports revealing arrival of immigrants on tier 2 company transfer visas and later applying to general tier 1 visa as well as some individuals immigrating under tier 1 general visa and working in low profile jobs.

Due to the new advancement it will be very tough task in obtaining general tier 1 visa. The government has decided to provide most skilled based UK immigration to the applicants who had already acquired a job offer from an employer.

Removal of tier 1 visa category will be made by a replacement named Exceptional Talent Visa. It will be a tough knock to be entitled for an Exceptional Talent Visa due to stringent policies.

The advancement will seek a surge in tier 2 visa expanding its quota and limiting the Exceptional Talent Visa to just 1000 applicants. The only good news is that tier 2 visa will not limit any particular group or department.

Citing the coming stringent changes in immigration categories it is advisable for on-shore Tier 1 visa applicants to file their case as soon as possible.
