A majority of proficient in Britain under the Highly Skilled
Migrant Programme (HSMP) visas are undergoing the unusual circumstance
of deportation. Most of them cannot qualify for extension under
the new point based system which has been launched in November
last year.
The existing HSMP migrants require re-qualifying on the basis
of age, salaries, and educational qualifications to continue earning
their bread and butter in the country. The immigration minister
Liam Bryne will be reviewing over the modifications in view of
the difficulties they have caused.
Maintaining his promise, he went through the changes and came
up with the fact that several Indian professionals with PhDs and
other qualifications have been served deportation orders.
The rules are unfair which overlook their benefits and welfare.
Many professionals have received notices to leave the country.
Large number of trainee Indian doctors in UK got the hint to face
deportation as soon as the London High Court had upheld new rules
which no more allows permit free training for overseas doctors.
The British Association of Physicians of Indian Origin has taken
a legal action against the health department claiming that a race
impact assessment was not carried out while creating the new terms
and conditions.
