September 7th, 2011 Tushar Mathur The UK Government’s own advisory committee, the Migration Advisory Committee, has stated that the British economy could suffer permanent damage if the Government continues to restrict non-EU skilled immigration.
In April of 2011, the current Government implemented a permanent cap on Tier 1 and Tier 2 skilled immigration. This followed on from the temporary immigration cap of the previous year. The popular Tier 1 (General) category no longer exists. There is a new Tier 1 (Exceptional Talent) category; However, hardly anyone meets the requirements for this visa category.

August 11th, 2011 Tushar Mathur The US government has outlined a series of “policy, operational, and outreach efforts” which it hopes will drive economic growth and stimulate investment by encouraging foreign entrepreneurs to immigrate to the United States.
The new initiatives were announced by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) director Alejandro Mayorkas and Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano.
“The United States has a long, rich history of welcoming innovative entrepreneurs and skilled workers into our country,” Mayorkas said on his blog.
“These men and women fuel our nation’s economy by creating jobs, and promoting new technologies and ideas,” he added.
“Today, I joined Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano and outlined a series of new policy, operational, and outreach efforts that will help fuel the nation’s economy and stimulate investment by making it easier for high-skill immigrants to start and grow companies and create jobs here in the United States.”
USCIS announced that it will:
- Clarify that immigrant entrepreneurs may obtain an employment-based EB-2 immigrant visa if they satisfy existing requirements, and that they may also qualify for a National Interested Waiver (no job offer required) under the EB-2 immigrant visa category if they can demonstrate that their business will be of interest to the United States.
- Expand the Premium Processing Service to immigrant petitions for multinational executives and managers
- Clarify that a sole owner of a business who wishes to employ himself/herself in some circumstances can establish a valid employer-employee relationship to qualify for an H-1B non-immigrant visa
- Implement enhancements to streamline the EB-5 immigrant investor process
- Launch new “engagement opportunities” to seek input and feedback from entrepreneurs and companies.
