Change in Visa Rules... UK

The UK government has done a review on Tier 4 rules recently and has introduced few changes to the UK visa rules. The point based system was effective since March 2009 but few more amendments were necessary to streamline ability of genuine international students to come to the UK to benefit from the world class education system.

From 22nd February 2010, any student who wants to study in the UK under Tier 4 of the points-based system must possess a confirmation of acceptance for studies (CAS) from their prospective sponsor/university. Therefore, visa letters will be fully replaced by Confirmations of Acceptance for Studies. A CAS is an electronic reference number. The Tier 4 sponsor will need all the same information that is currently in a visa letter to assign a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies.

You will not be able to apply under Tier 4 using a visa letter from that date, even if the visa letter was issued before 22 February 2010.

Also new measures for students include

Good standard of English will be needed to come to the UK and study to improve English language competency further
Restricting the lowest-level courses to only the most trusted institutions
Halve the amount of time students can work during term time from 20 to 10 hours a week for a student studying below first degree level or on a foundation degree course
A ban on bringing in dependants for anyone studying a course for less than six months
Ban students’ dependants from working unless they qualify in their own right under Tier 1 (General) as a highly skilled migrant or as a skilled worker under Tier 2 General, Sportsperson or Minister of Religion
A requirement for students to demonstrate their English language ability by passing an approved secure test - this will apply to all students studying below (foundation) degree level, including those coming to study English language

All of these changes will come into force on 3 March 2010 and all Tier 4 applications submitted on or after this date will be subject to the new restrictions.
