OM INTERNATIONAL'S BEST NEWS FOR STUDENT VISAS IN THE UK.

Image
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 FOUND THAT THE UK PM ANNOUNCES NEW MEASURES TO CURB 'ILLEGAL' IMMIGRATION

Image
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...
