Limit Reached For UK Tier 1 Visas For November 2010

12 Nov 2010

As aware, the UK government introduced a limit on the number of initial applications that can be issued under Tier 1 (General) of the points-based system until 31 March 2011.

The immigration limit on total number of overseas initial visa applications under Tier 1 (General) has reached the limit for the month of November 2010. However, the limit does not affect applications from dependents or applications to switch into Tier 1 (General) from a different immigration category, or applications to extend to existing Tier 1 (General) visas.

Applications are still accepted during the closure period. If the applications submitted are successful, visas will be issued when the limit allocation reopens on Wednesday 1 December. It is expected that the visa limit will reach in the beginning of December 2010 and the applications will have to wait for the limit allocation of January 2010.
