From April 2011, the government will introduce an annual limit
on applications for Tier 1 (General) of the points-based
system.
An interim limit will be introduced from 19 July 2010 until the
long-term limit is introduced in April 2011. Until the interim
limit is implemented on 19 July 2010, applications will continue to
be assessed as normal.
The Investor, Entrepreneur and Post-study work categories of Tier 1
will not be included in the interim limit. In-country extensions
under Tier 1 (General) will also be excluded.
An updated application form and guidance will be published on 19
July 2010.
What is the interim limit?
From 19 July 2010, we will introduce a limit on the number of
applications to Tier 1 (General) that we will consider in any one
month. We will also increase the pass mark for Tier 1 (General),
from 95 points to 100 points.
Applications will be dealt with on a first-come, first-served
basis. If you apply after the limit for one month has been reached,
your application will be held and considered under the limit for
the following month.
You will be excluded from the limit if you are already in the UK
under Tier 1 (General) and you apply for an extension, or if you
are already in the UK under another immigration category and you
switch into Tier 1 (General).
You will not have to meet the increased points mark if you are
already in the UK in one of the following categories:
Tier 1 (General)
Highly Skilled Migrant Programme
Writer, composer or artist
Self-employed lawyer
If you are in the UK in any other immigration category and you
apply to switch into Tier 1 (General), or if you are applying from
outside the UK, you will need to score 100 points.
More information about the interim limit will be published on this
page in due course.
What will happen to my application if the limit is reached?
We will continue to accept applications during the interim limit
period, although we will not process applications once the monthly
limit has been reached. Applications will be held in a queue, in
strict order of their date of application. Applications in the
queue will be processed when the following month's limit is
opened.
If application numbers look likely to exceed the total limit for
the whole of the interim period, we will alert you at the point of
application that your application may not be considered under the
interim limit rules.
