Points Based System calculator to be axed

Important Notice:  The Points Based System Calculator will cease to be used for Immigration applications on 6th April 2016.

The Points Based System Calculator is an assessment tool which helps applicants identify their eligibility to meet the points requirements for a work or study visa. It may only be used for Points Based System visa applications under Tiers 1, 2, 4 and 5.

Due to the varying complexities and evolution of the UK immigration rules, particularly in the most recent years. The Points Based System Calculator no longer serves a significant purpose for the assessment of verifying an applicant under the Points Based System. Therefore UK Visas and Immigration will be switching it off on 6^th April 2016.

Currently there is no further information as to whether UK Visas and Immigration will employ a more complex model, and therefore it has been suggested applicants will need to navigate the UKVI website resources to ensure they meet the eligibility criteria of the visa.

Whether you are an aged migrant who has successfully worked their way through the system or you’re a first time applicant, navigating the UKVI website can be a daunting prospect particularly in the coming months, therefore please ensure you seek advice from a regulated UK immigration consultant or a solicitor specialising in UK immigration law.

If you are making an application in the United Kingdom you will need to anticipate further changes after 6^th April 2016 and these changes may affect a range of visa applications, therefore please ensure you are prepared.

The new Immigration Bill is being passed through the House of Lords this week. Therefore we will know more regarding 6th April rule changes in the next couple of weeks.

If you would like to know more about the services we can provide in support of your application to the Home Office, please get it touch.
