Points Based System Applications(PBS)

For now the PEO has a limited capacity to deal with Tier 1 General and Tier 2/ 5 applications. As a result all registered organizations have only been granted one slot per week.

TIER 1 General Applications (Formerly HSMP)
Currently appointments for Tier 1 General have to be requested one week in advance by registered organisations and cannot be assigned to these organisations' generic weekly allocation. The slots are assigned on a first-come-first-served basis.

TIER 1 Post Study Work (Formerly IGS - International Graduates Scheme)
This category of Tier1 PBS application can be submitted by proxy at the UK Border Agency Public Enquiry Office, the applicant does not have to attend the appointment in person.

As opposed to Tier 4 and Tier 2 applications, the Tier1 applications (General and Post Study Work) can be submitted by proxy at the UK Border Agency Public Enquiry Office. The applicant does not have to attend the appointment in person.

 

TIER 2 General (Formerly Work Permit)
Currently, most organisations are restricted to a single slot per week, obtainable by a email request to the Home Office. However, some larger organisations have been allotted a number of fixed weekly slots in Sheffield . Tier 2 applications cannot be submitted by proxy. The applicant must attend the organisation's assigned appointment slot in person in order to give their biometric data for an ICFN (Identity Card for Foreign Nationals ). The Tier 2 applicant must be accompanied by the organisation's representative if the appointment is in Croydon. Applicants filing in Sheffield , can attend without being escorted by a representative.

An appointment is required, WQ Associates can assist in obtaining a same day appointment. Please contact us.

Tier 5 PBS (Youth Mobility / Temporary Worker)
Some of the Tier 5 categories of the Points Based System can be submitted at the UK Border Agency's Public Enquiry Office for same day processing. WQ Associates can assist with the submission of such applications when acting as a representative for an organisation that is registered with the Home Office. If you are an individual in urgent need of Same Day Premium Service application, we may be able to source an urgent filing slot for you through our network of immigration providers. Contact us.

 

PBS (Dependant)
Applications for dependants of Tier 1 visa holders may also be filed through an agent. This may also be the case for babies born in the UK whose leaves need to be put in line with that of their parents.
