In 2006, following an extensive public
consultation, we published1 proposals to
modernise and strengthen our immigration
system by bringing in an Australian-style points
system comprising five tiers:
Tier 1 Highly skilled individuals to contribute to growth and productivity.
其中Tier 1包含了一下的几种类型:
General
-标准和原来的HSMP 75分评分系统基本相同 不同的是某些MBA不能在直接获得该签证。新的Highly Skilled Tier可以拿到3+2=5年的签证,work permit和hsmp在一起的超过5年的则可以申请绿卡。
Post Study Work
毕业后都可以申请两年的签证,用来找工作,但是这两年的签证时间不算在拿绿卡条件的5年里。这其实没什么意外的,和原来的IGS一样。
Tier 2 Skilled workers with a job offer to fill gaps in the UK labour force.
Tier 3 Low skilled workers to fill specific temporary labour shortages.
Tier 4 Students.
Tier 5 Youth mobility and temporary workers:people coming to the UK to satisfy primarily non-economic objective
关注的几个地方:
(1)以上Tier1里的签证(比如wp+hsmp)加起来超过5年的,可以申请移民,但这5年不包括Post study work的两年
原文:
Time spent in any Highly Skilled sub-category
except Post-Study Work will count towards the
period the person needs to be here for before
being eligible to apply for settlement in the
Highly Skilled or Skilled tiers (currently 5
years).
(2) 之前申请SEGS或者IGS的同学,将有希望进行一次续签到总和两年,下面是文件内容:
Graduates with valid leave under IGS or its predecessor, the Science and Engineering
Graduates Scheme, (SEGS) when Post Study Work is implemented will be able to complete
that leave and may apply for a one-off extension in Post Study Work up to a total
of 2 years of IGS/SEGS and Post Study Work leave combined.
(4) 英国硕士博士毕业的HSMP申请者有希望不用再重考IELTS,
之前的旧政策要求IELTS6分以上,虽然大部分学生早就达到了这个要求,但无奈成绩超过两年过期,只好重新考,但新政策似乎只要求Have taken a degree taught in English,而没要求只能是本科
Applicants will need to prove their competence in
English language by proving they:
Have passed a test in English equivalent to level
C1 of the Council of Europe’s Common European
Framework for Language Learning (equivalent to a
grade C or above at GCSE), or
Come from a majority English speaking country6, or
Have taken a degree taught in English (verified
using National Academic Recognition Information
Centre7 data).
以上个人分析,请大家继续关注
