November 10th 2010 - "November limit is reached for Tier 1 (General) applications from abroad"
Source - ukba homeoffice gov uk
On 19 July 2010, the UK government introduced a limit on the number of initial applications that can be issued under Tier 1 (General) of the points-based
system until 31 March 2011. The limit does not affect applications from dependents or applications to switch into Tier 1 (General) from a different immigration
category, or applications to extend to existing Tier 1 (General) visas.
The UK Border Agency administers the limit on a monthly basis. In order to avoid breaching the visa allocation for November 2010, we will not issue any more
visas for successful Tier 1 (General) applications made overseas until the limit allocation reopens on Wednesday 1 December.
Applicants outside the UK
If you are applying under Tier 1 (General) from abroad, you can still submit an application for Tier 1 (General) during
this closure period. But if your application is successful, we will not issue a visa to you until the limit re-opens. If you currently have an outstanding Tier 1 (General) application,
there may be a short delay in issuing your visa if your application is successful. For more information contact AmblerCollins.
Applicants inside the UK
If you are applying to extend your permission to stay in the UK under Tier 1 (General), or to switch into Tier 1 (General) from another immigration category,
the limit does not affect you. If your application is successful, your permission to stay will be issued as normal.
