Devisers-Facilitating Visa Extension for Skilled Workers in UK


According to a research conducted by The Work Foundation on Highly-skilled migrants and the UK’s knowledge economy, the United Kingdom has a historic and linguistic advantage in its attractiveness as a destination for talent from across the globe. It is, infact, the United Kingdom’s success that it has continued to draw upon its ability to attract individuals with highly specific competencies, qualities, experience, knowledge and ideas.

This is the reason why once you have had the taste of the potential highly skilled workers, writers, composers, artists and lawyers have in the UK, there is nothing which would want to make you leave. Why, after all, would you want to leave an arena where the sky is the limit?

Devisers, a reputed immigration service provider for procuring visas to UK, USA, Canada and Australia, remains your partners in facilitating Tier 1 (General) visa extension for those workers residing in the UK who wish to extend their stay to continue to live and work in there.

Applicants must currently be in the UK on an eligible visa type and score a minimum of 95 points (or 100 points for HSMP applicants) for aspects including language ability, qualifications, previous earnings, UK experience and maintenance.

20 points are awarded for applicants under 28 years of age; 10 points to applicants 28-29 years and 5 points to applicants who are 30-31 years old. Previous earnings will be calculated from any consecutive 12 month period within the previous 15 months that you worked in the UK before applying for an extension. You will be able to bag 5 points for UK Experience. You are not required to prove English Language ability again when applying for an extension unless you were granted an HSMP visa after the rules put in place on 5 December 2006. If you have enough money to cover your living expenses in the UK, you will score 10 points.

If you are unable to qualify for an extension to your highly skilled migrant visa, there are transitional arrangements in place to allow you to move to another Tier, such as Tier 2 for skilled workers.

Our trained and experienced consultants will be with you every step of the way to ensure that you receive a visa extension.  With Devisers as your partner, once you have successfully attained extension, you become eligible to continue to live and work in the UK, usually for a maximum of 2 years for Tier 1. Devisers will then guide you to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) so that you may enjoy permanent residency in the UK.
