UK Border Agency starts issuing Tier 1 General visas again

After the implementation of the monthly quota on 21st October, the UK Border Agency has started to issue Tier 1 General visas again.

This restarted on November 1st. Incidentally, October was the first month that saw the monthly quota implemented.

It will be interesting to see if this leads to a knock on effect - i.e. November's quota being used up quicker.

On a different note, on 18 November 2010 the Migration Advisory Committe (MAC) will publish its report to the government on the level for 2011/12 of the annual limits on economic migration to the UK under Tier 1 and Tier 2 of the points-based system.

This will make interesting reading and will likely prove to be a defining moment in the implememtation of the current government's immigration strategy.
