hi! i have been told tht in order to apply for indefinite leave, we need to show tht an amount tht is equal to the no. of dependants applying together multiplied by thousand is required in the account for atleast 6 months. for example, if thr is a guy is applying for his n his 2 kids and wife visa, then he shd have atleast 4000 pounds in his account untouched for atleast 6 months. is this true?

Thanks.This news helps to know that this is a proposal, but not yet implemented, just a draft in which it would be announced in “10 point plan to reduce economic migration to the UK” as mentioned.
What about the new migrants who plans for the new future in UK and suddenly a new outline that Instead of Bachelors now MASTERS is required.This is a big task.I suppose the Government would think and then implement as the migrants coming from Non EEU are regular tax paying migrants and the economy due to them is not that affected.
Anyways have to wait until the bell of April 2009 rings up and says any new news.Until now nothing is implemented.

Thanks & Regards

Thanks. This is useful. One thing this article (and others such as this) do not make clear is what happens to the migrants that are already in the UK. With this still at proposal stage as of today (March 5th,2009) but intended to be implemented by April 1st, 2009, where does that leave thousands of migrants who are up for renewal of their visa in April/May/June 2009 and their employers?
