The United Kingdom is setting restrictions to curb net migration.

The policy restricts foreign students from bringing family members on all but postgraduate research routes.

In a statement on Tuesday, the Home Office said the development was necessary to stop people from using the student visa as a backdoor route to work in the UK.

"Last year almost half a million student visas were issued while the number of dependants of overseas students has increased by 750% since 2019, to 136,000 people,” the Home Office said.

"The new reforms will come into effect for students starting in January next year. The government will however work with the higher education sector to explore alternative options to ensure the brightest and best students can continue to bring dependents when they study at the UK’s world-leading universities.”

The UK said overseas students will be stopped from switching from the student visa route to a work visa until their studies have been completed. However, noting that net migration was over 500,000 from June 2021 to June 2022.

The UK government said it will also review the required funds students must have to demonstrate they can look after themselves and their dependents.

It reaffirmed its commitment to the International Education Strategy which supports the economy through the contribution students can bring to the UK.

The government has also made clear that the terms of the graduate route remain unchanged, announcing the new reforms affecting students starting from January 2023.

The UK promised to work with the higher education sector to explore alternative options to ensure the brightest and best students can continue to bring dependents.

Furthermore, to prevent misuse of the visa system, students will be stopped from switching from the student visa route to work routes until their studies have been completed.

Be Inspired! A very poor woman called a radio station asking for help from God. A non-believer who was also listening to this radio program decided to make fun of the woman. He got the woman's address from the radio station and told his secretary to carry a large amount of foodstuff to the woman.  However, he gave the following instruction; "When the woman asks who sent the food, tell her that it's from the devil." When the secretary arrived at the woman's house, the woman was happy and grateful for the help received. She started putting the food packets inside her small house.  The secretary then asked her, "Don't you want to know who sent the food?" The woman replied, "No, I don't care... because when GOD orders, even the DEVIL obeys! Have a blessed day ahead. 🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣 Image: iStock

Blac Chyna Drags Tyga's Mum Into Child Custody Battle

It looks like Blac Chyna is doing everything she can to start seeing her kids more. Blac Chyna and Tyga According to HipHopDX news, in court documents obtained by Radar Online, that the ex-stripper (real name Angela White) served Pasionaye Nguyen — the “Rack City” rapper’s mother — with documents on Thursday (September 21). The service was done via a process server since Blac Chyna couldn’t find her ex to deliver the documents accordingly. Service via a third party is known as substituted service, and this type of service is acceptable in the California court system so long as the party doing the serving can demonstrate that they tried to serve the original party “at least three times,” and was unsuccessful in each attempt. This suggests that Blac Chyna will now try to claim that Tyga was dodging her previous petitions — and what’s more, Tyga is now forced to respond to her paperwork or face a potential default judgment against him. Last month, Blac Chyna filed a petition in the Los An...
