Foreign students forced to go home after studies under tough new immigration rules
Tens of thousands of foreign students will be forced to go home after finishing their studies under plans to scrap a controversial visa regime that allows them to stay in the UK to look for work.
Under the Post Study Work Route, degree graduates are able to remain in the UK a further two years to find a job, which can then eventually lead to permanent settlement.

Some 38,000 migrants took advantage of the system last year but, on average, only half find skilled jobs while a fifth end up unemployed. At the same time some one in 10 UK graduates were unemployed in their first six months after graduating.

Damian Green, the immigration minister, will today announce the route is to be closed as part of a major review of student visas that will also prevent up to 100,000 fewer foreigners coming each to study every year.
The moves are designed to curb abuse in the system and help the Government meet its wider pledge of bring net migration down to the “tens of thousands”.

The new rules would have prevented suspected Russian spy Katia Zatuliveter staying in Britain, who was granted a two-year post-study visa after completing her one-year MA at the University of Bradford.

Miss Zatuliveter, who worked for Lib Dem MP Mike Hancock is facing deportation after she was arrested on suspicion of being a “sleeper” agent for the Russian foreign intelligence service.

The Daily Telegraph disclosed yesterday that students will only be allowed to come to study at degree level following concerns that up to half come to attend lower tier courses, such as vocational or A-levels, at private colleges.

The language requirement for students will only be raised to that of GCSE level.

It has now emerged that even those who are allowed to come will find it much harder to stay on after completing their studies will be expected to return home instead.

Last year, Professor David Metcalf, the Government’s immigration adviser, questioned the benefits of the post study route, especially as almost 600 private colleges can offer degrees on top of the country’s 154 major universities.

Mr Green said: "I believe attracting talented students from abroad is vital to the UK but we must be more selective about who can come here, how long they can stay and what they do when they’re here.

"People imagine students to be those who come here for a few years to study at university and then go home – that is not always the case. Too many students coming to study at below degree level have been coming here with a view to living and working, rather than studying. We cannot reduce net migration significantly without stopping this abuse.”
终于出台了

版主友情补充:现在是公布了计划取消前的咨询阶段,这一阶段将从今天算起共8周。8周后根据咨询结果,宣布是否正式取消。但取消或大幅度限制的大方向已经定了。所以请有条件申请的同学抓紧时间申请。

意外也不惊奇。不就一夜回到5年前嘛。

大河向东流哇,天上的星星参北斗哇,说走咱就走啊,你有我有全都有哇。。。。。

政策是出台了,可是具体何时实施还待定:cn17:
特别好多童鞋已经预约了面签的说:cn18:

不知道是该惋惜呢,还是拍手叫好

预约到面签也不保险,想当初10年永居是可以面签的,然后HO说取消面签,之前预约作废.
总结一句就是,他们说话就像放屁

在别人地面上,很无奈:cn14:
若不是想在这边有几年工作经验,谁爱在这里离乡背井了:cn05:

Yeah~~

The consultation questions are grouped under the following broad aims we expect our reforms to achieve.

• Raising the level of courses students can study. Only Highly Trusted Sponsors will be able to offer courses to adult students at National Qualification Levels 3,4 and 5.

• Introducing tougher entry criteria for students other than child students.

• Ensuring students return overseas after their course.

• Limiting the entitlements to work and sponsor dependants.

• Simpler procedures for checking low-risk applications.

• Stricter accreditation procedures for education providers in the private sector.

The closing date for response is 31 January 2011.
