02 March 2009

The UK Border Agency is extending the range of applications that can be made in person at our public enquiry offices.

From 6 April 2009, you will be able to use the 'premium service' at any of our five public enquiry offices if you are applying under the following categories of the points-based system:
Highly skilled workers Tier 1 (General)
Sponsored skilled workers Tier 2 (General)
Tier 2 (Ministers of Religion)
Tier 2 (Sportsperson)
Tier 2 (Intra-company transfers)
Temporary workers Tier 5 (Creative and sporting)
Tier 5 (Charity workers)
Tier 5 (Religious workers)
Tier 5 (Government authorised exchange)
Tier 5 (International agreement)

We will begin taking appointments for these categories from 2 March 2009. (The appointments will be for 6 April onwards.)

Application forms and guidance for Tiers 1, 2 and 5 of the points-based system are available in the Working in the UK section of this website. You can find general information about the points-based system in the Managing migration section, and the Contacts section explains where you can find our public enquiry offices.

The more applications open to the premium service method, the better in my opinion. I think it is shocking that applications take 6-8 weeks to consider despite their relatively straightforward nature.
