Tier 1 (General) Applications From Abroad December Limit Reached

08 Dec 2010

As per the monthly basis limit administered by UK Border Agency, the limit for applications for UK Tier 1 from abroad has reached and new limit will re-open in January 2011. This is as per the limit introduced on the number of initial applications that can be issued under Tier 1 (General) of the points-based system until 31 March 2011.

However, this 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.

If you currently have an outstanding Tier 1 (General) application, there may be a short delay in issuing your visa if your application is successful. For applicants in UK, the limit does not affect applications to extend permission to stay in the UK under Tier 1 (General), or to switch into Tier 1 (General) from another immigration category.
