Indian immigrants win appeal to return to the UK

Skilled immigrants from India that were working in the United Kingdom were forced to pack up and move back home after changes were made to immigration policies in the UK.  The immigrants recently won an appeal that will allow them to return to the United Kingdom and continue working.

Amit Kapadia with the HSMP (Highly Skilled Migrant Programme) Forum has said "They can just fill in the application based on the guidance notes from next week, and they can come back without paying any additional fee."

The new changes to immigration guidelines will benefit several people including those that have yet to apply for an extension.

Kapadia also went on to say "When they will apply for extensions, they will be getting extension for the remaining period of three years. For example, if someone just had a year remaining, they will get that extension so that they can then apply for settlement. Of course its up to the individual, if they don't want to apply for settlement, then they can keep applying for extensions based on the old rules."

While the notes they need to fill out these applications will be easily obtainable in the coming days many are still skeptical of the situation.  Nearly 5,000 employees with HSMP were forced to abandon the United Kingdom after the changes were made to immigration policy resulting in them being forced to leave the country.  Many of those are unsure if they want to go through the process again even if their fees are waived.
