HSMP changes for
initial and extension applications
07/11/2006
On 7 November 2006, Liam Byrne, Minister for
Immigration, Nationality and Citizenship announced a change in the Rules
for the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme (HSMP). Applicants under this
scheme will be judged against new enhanced points criteria designed to
better reflect the likelihood of migrants' labour market success. The
introduction of the new rules will pilot the kind of criteria skilled
workers will eventually have to meet when applying to come to the UK
under the new points based system. The revised HSMP criteria will allow
applicants to score points against the following criteria:
• qualifications;
• previous earnings;
• prior UK experience as a student or employee;
• age; and
• participation in an MBA scheme.
A mandatory English language requirement has also been added to the
programme, when an initial application is made and again at extension
stage, which applicants must pass if they are to be successful.
The HSMP will be suspended until 5 December to manage the transition to
the new arrangements. Applicants for further leave made during the
suspension will be accepted as valid and decided after the new rules
come into effect, with applicants given the opportunity to submit new
information where necessary. Entry clearance and settlement applications
under HSMP will continue to be decided as normal.
