The global workforce has been haunted by layoff season for some time. Our data show that in 2023 alone, 292 tech companies laid off over 88,000 employees. Immigrants have been confronted with a double whammy due to the fact that job losses frequently affect the status of their visas. The 60-day deadline that laid off H-1B visa holders in the United States have to adhere by has especially come under fire in the past few months. However, the US is not the only country that puts out-of-job immigrants on the clock. The UK's skilled worker visa too, has a 60-day deadline for holders who lose their jobs. What is the skilled worker visa? A Skilled Worker visa allows you to come to or stay in the UK to do an eligible job with an approved employer. Your visa can last for up to 5 years before you need to extend it. However, if for whatever reason your employment has been brought to an end early, this will shorten the time you can stay in the country. You need to update your visa if you... Ch...

However, recent reports indicate that the British government may alter its immigration policy regarding international students. MP Lord Karan Bilimoria is concerned about the rumored plans of the British government to reduce the number of international students studying in the UK as part of a larger strategy to reduce net migration. “The rumours about the British government changing the immigration policy around international students are very worrying. The concerns in the UK are over the big rise in net migration figures linked to illegal immigration and that needs to be stopped. But international students should be excluded from the net migration figures to the UK,” said Bilimoria, president of the UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA), an advisory body serving the interests of international students. Also the chancellor of the University of Birmingham that most international students in the UK, including those from India, returned to their home countries after th...

As India and the United Kingdom negotiate their Free Trade Agreement (FTA), the Home Secretary of the UK Suella Braverman is mulling over the idea to cut the period of stay allowed for an overseas student under a post-study visa route. Braverman is planning to reform the Graduate Visa route which will require overseas students to obtain a work visa after getting a skilled job or leave the UK in 6 months. The new Graduate Visa route allowed overseas students to stay in the UK and look for jobs and gain experience even without the requirement of a specific job offer. According to reports from UK media, the Department of Education of the UK is trying to block such changes as they feel the move might reduce the attractiveness of the country as a study destination. The supporters of Braverman's plan argue that the Graduate Visa route was misused by students who take admissions in short courses at "less respectable universities". According to local media, government sources sai...

Om international saw that UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s strategy for reducing illegal immigration by preventing Albanian migrants from crossing the English Channel in small boats is unlikely to succeed because there is “almost infinite” demand for the hazardous crossings among people of other nationalities, according to a Home Office source. We have the great point that If you enter the UK illegally you should not be able to remain here, Sunak told parliament. Instead, you will be detained and swiftly returned either to your home country or to a safe country where your asylum claim will be considered. The number of migrants and refugees arriving in England across the Channel has more than doubled in the last two years, with government figures showing Albanians account for the highest number of those arriving by this route. Sunak announced a new five-point strategy for dealing with illegal immigration, including plans to fast-track the return of Albanian asylum seekers and clear the i...

Om International found that the UK sector is reporting increasing numbers of international students dropping out soon after enrolment in order to accept employment offers in the care sector.

Students who can secure a job offer from an employer approved by the Home Office they can apply to switch from the student route visa to the skilled worker visa immediately, without any need to complete their degree. Om International  has discovered a growing trend of overseas immigration consultants using universities as a stepping stone to help clients enter the UK and then switch to care jobs before they are required to pay full tuition fees. This route offers a cheaper and faster pathway to full-time employment in the UK compared to the graduate route – which requires students to pay expensive course fees and mainten...
