Indians in UK Challenge New Law

By immigrationprof

Affected by recent changes in British immigration laws, a forum representing over 30,000 skilled Indians will move the High Court here on Monday to seek judicial review of the new legislation.

Britain’s new Highly Skilled Migrants Programme, which officially came into force on December 5, will force Indians and other non-EU personnel to leave the country because they no longer fit the highly-skilled migrant category.

Under the new rule, people above 28 and earning less than 35,000 pounds per annum will find it difficult to continue here.

The forum will seek review of the immigration laws in the High Court on the ground that the Home Ministry had unfairly gone back on its assurances. Click here.
