New UK Tier 2 Immigration Rules effective from March 2019

New changes in UK Immigration Rules have been published on March 7, 2019. The Statement of Changes HC 1919 includes details about the UK Tier 2 Immigration rules. In addition, it also comprises changes in Tier 1, Tier 4 and other Immigration Rules.

The changes were proposed to be effective from March 30, 2019. The minimum salary level of Immigrants has changed as part of these changes. The changes have been effective from the end of March. The Statement has confirmed the same.

Applications made before March 30, 2019, will be considered based on the new rules, as quoted by carterthomas.co.uk. The country met the Restricted Certificate of Sponsorship (RCoS) allocation cap last year. The Statement has brought some changes to the point system. It will determine which applications will be accepted. The new UK Tier 2 Immigration Rules will apply to all Immigrants holding the RCoS.

Immigrants wishing to switch from Tier 4 to Tier 2 Immigration Stream can submit an application up to 3 months. However, they must apply for the same before the course completion date. Also, they cannot start working in the UK until they have completed the course. The revised UK Tier 2 Immigration Rules have established these norms.

• They should have a skilled job offer in the UK
• They should not hail from the Europe Economic Area and Switzerland

The Immigrants must have a job offer by a licensed sponsor. The entire process usually takes around 3 weeks of time. The cost for the same ranges from £610 to £704.
