Britain launches 'super priority' same-day visa service for Indians


Britain on Tuesday rolled out the same-day visa for Indians, making it the first country to get a visa to visit UK within 24 hours.

The same-day visa service was announced by British prime minister David Cameron during his recent visit to India.

However, it comes with a fat price - it will cost £600 (nearly Rs 50,000) in addition to the price of the visa.

Those in Delhi and Mumbai will be able to apply for this service.

The UK home ministry said the 'super priority' visa is the first-of-its-kind to be launched ever and there are plans to expand the scheme to Chennai in the next few weeks.

Immigration minister Mark Harper said "this government is committed to encouraging international business to invest in Britain. India and Britain have a long history of trade and we run our largest visa operation in the world there. We are delighted to be able to launch our first same-day visa service in Delhi and Mumbai, and make our world class visa service even better."

UK home office added that the service will be available to those who are applying for a six-month or two-year multiple entry visitor visa (excluding student visit visas) and have travelled without difficulty in the last five years to one of the following countries - UK, US, Australia, New Zealand, Canada or a Schengen country. Those who are employees of companies that are members of the Business Express Programme (managed by UK Trade and Investment in India) and are travelling as an official business visitor will also be able to apply.

The Home office added "We strongly recommend that customers with any form of adverse immigration history do not use this service. Using the super priority visa service does not imply or guarantee in any way that your visa application will be successful. All applicants must meet the requirements of the UK's immigration rules."

UK's minister of state at the foreign and commonwealth office (FCO) in-charge of India Hugo Swire said "Our signal to India is clear - we are open for business." Swire accompanied British prime minister David Cameron during his recent India.

Swire had told "we want India to invest more in the UK. There is huge opportunity for investment as billions will be required for renewal of Britain's public infrastructure."

India will be the first country where the new single-day visa will be rolled out following which it will be rolled out in China, Brazil, Turkey and South Africa.

Current cost of a business visa for a short-term (up to 6 months, single or multiple entry) costs Rs 6650. A long term visa valid for up to 5 years costs Rs 42,200 while that for 10 years cost Rs 60900.

Over the past five years, on an average, 70,000 business visas have been issued per year to Indians.

Officials say the issue rate has been high with "almost all Indians who apply for a UK business visa get one."

In 2012 for instance, 67,400 business visas were issued of the 69,600 applications received - an approval rate of 97%.

UK's home office says the new scheme, announced during Cameron's recent visit will feature a super priority visa service for regular visitors, trusted business visitors and Tier 2 applicants.

The Home Office says the vast majority of applications - over 97% of UK business visit visas and 86% per cent of visit visas - are approved and UKBA processes 95% of applications within 15 working days.

British High Commissioner to India Sir James Bevan recently said over 300,000 Indians come to the UK each year.

Tourism is a major contributor to the UK economy (9% of UK GDP and employment) which in 2012 attracted just over 31 million visitors, our best year since 2008.

Sir James Bevan said "By 2020 we aim to attract 40 million visitors a year. Indian tourists are central to that ambition. As India's prosperity grows and its middle class expands, more and more Indians are looking to travel abroad. When they get on that aircraft, we are very clear where we want them to come: to the UK. But we never forget that everyone has a choice. There are 193 countries in the world: all of them have something to recommend them." A scathing report recently by the House of Commons Home Affairs Committee had found that the already existing backlog of applications will take 24 years to clear by the UK Border Agency.

Tier 4 UK Student Visa



The Tier 4 student visa is designed for overseas students who wish to enter the UK to study for a period longer than 6 months. This visa is often granted for 1 year but the duration is determined by the length of the course the student is set to enrol. This visa also provides the student with the opportunity of switching to another immigration category in the UK without leaving the country after completion of the course. Adult students who are married are able to bring their spouse or legal partner to the UK for the entire duration of their course.

New Report Highlights UK Immigration Deporting Parents without Their Children


The report, Fractured Childhoods: the separation of families by immigration detention, looks at data from BID clients between 2009 and 2012. Of 111 detained migrant parents in the UK, 15 parents were deported or removed from the UK without their children. In 85 of the cases, children were placed in fostering arrangements or local authority care, which has cast concern over the process of separating children from parents and the long-term repercussions of this action.

In 1 of the 15 cases of parents deported from the UK without their children, the parent was not given any notice of his removal and was therefore unable to take legal action to prevent it. This is in direct violation of the UK Border Agency’s Enforcement Instructions and Guidance which requires a minimum of 72 hours to be allowed between notice of removal and the removal itself.

13 of the 15 cases where parents were removed by UK Immigration involved fathers, and two involved mothers. One of the mothers was also pregnant when she was deported without her husband and 2 children (both under the age of 18). While the majority of these cases involved the children being in the care of the other parent, 2 of the parents were single fathers and their children were left in foster care. These 15 cases impacted the lives of 22 children.

The children’s lives were disrupted further, as in 7 cases they did not have any leave to remain in the UK themselves, despite a number of them having been born in the UK or having lived in the UK for the majority of their lives.

Dr Maggie Atkinson, Children’s Commissioner for England, stared that “ I do not have a sense, reading the accounts of the children and family members in this report, that the government has yet fully developed a process where the interests of the child have always properly or fully been considered…”.

The report makes a number of specific recommendations, including a time limit to be placed on UK immigration detention to prevent prolonged separation, and for the best interests of the children to be a primary consideration.

UK Immigration officers demanded payments from visa applicants


A British court has heard allegations that a UK immigration officer demanded illegal payments from visa applicants and warned them that, if they refused to pay, their applications would be refused.

This week, a jury at Croydon Crown Court was told that Waseem Majid, 35, of Woolwich, south-east London and two others; Sanam Mia, 43, also of Woolwich, and Muhammed Qadiri, 53, of Ilford, east London, had conspired to breach UK immigration laws. The three deny all charges.

The prosecution alleges that Majid would take the details of applicants to his home and then contact them by phone. He would then threaten to refuse their applications unless he received payments of up to £1,000.
