The British High Commission issuing a press release today stated that the new visa regulations for students “will cut abuse”. New Visa regulations introduced last year would be in force from April 2012. The Immigration Minister Damien Green has stated that the new visa regulations “Will cut abuse of the student visa route and ensure only the brightest and the best students can stay and work in the UK.”

The current Post Study Work route, which allows students to work in the UK for two years after their studies have finished, will close. Talented international students graduating from a university will still have the opportunity to stay on in the UK, but from April 6 they will need a skilled job offer from a reputable employer accredited by the UK Border Agency with a salary of £20,000 or more.

Sixty percent students use this route either to claim asylum and or stay as married or unmarried partners to gain permision to stay here. If you do a reality check you will find the truth. 30 percent of those who go as students stay there as illegal workers without attending their colleges as most of them are bogus colleges. 10 percent are the genuine students who either complete their studies in reputed colleges and universities. Anyone can set up a college in the Uk should you have a room and a couple of unqualified or foreign teachers . It is a lucurative business. In Sri lanka the colleges are abusing their licenses and make millions, The banks , sponsors , colleges are in the racket.
