Point based system set to be a 'success' for UK immigration

Neil Carberry, senior policy advisor at the CBI, said: "The PBS provides a flexible way to manage migration, but it is important that small forms are not priced out. For larger firms the PBS is likely to be a successful innovation, but for smaller firms with less HR capacity, the higher fees and higher responsibilities will be a challenge." The scheme was introduced at the end of last month in an attempt to ensure that people moving to the country through UK immigration have the right skills.

The CBI is a lobbying organisation for businesses in the UK and works with the government and policy-makers in order to try and make British businesses compete more effectively.

Anyone interested in getting a better understanding of their current position under UK visa regulations should request a call from a qualified UK Visa Bureau migration consultant to see if they are eligible for migration to the UK, or call direct on Freephone 0800 043 7011. Alternatively, HSMP visa hopefuls should try taking the HSMP online assessment.
