The UK Border agency announced on 21st December 2010 that applications made overseas for the Tier 1 (General) – formerly the
Highly Skilled Migrant Programme – would no longer be accepted from mid-night on 23rd December 2010.
The reasoning behind the announcement is “to ensure that we (sic) do not exceed the limit set by the government for issued Tier 1 (General)
applications between 19 July 2010 and April 2011.”

Adrian Dawson, AmblerCollins consultant, stated “This is clear evidence of the UK Border Agency’s push to reduce net immigration figures
into the UK, I would strongly recommend any individual or company planning on making an application to the UK Border agency to do so as soon as possible to
avoid disappointment.”
