UK manufacturing and IT sector mainly relies on the skilled workers from international work force. The February intake under Tier 2 would be the highest offer for employers to recruit the skilled professionals.

The new allocation of Tier 2 sponsorships includes carried over and unused sponsorships of the January month. United Kingdom tier 2 categories enable the candidates or dependents under tier 4 category to apply for the Tier 2 Visa.

United Kingdom’s engineering sector largely relies on the tier 2 category for intra company transfers and general recruitment of international professionals. There was uproar over the Migratory advisory committee’s suggestion to contain the foreign skilled workers inflow into the country through tier 2 visa medium.

The industry bodies have opposed the MACs advice and stressed the importance of UK nationals to equip skills according to the growing needs of the industry.
