Migration Statistics Quarterly Report, May 2017 (Studying in the UK)
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has published their Migration Statistics Quarterly Report, May 2017.
The key points in relation to studying in the UK were as follows:
- Long-term immigration to study (136,000 in 2016) has significantly decreased by 32,000 from 2015, which largely reflects a decrease reported in the last quarter.
- In year ending December 2016, there was an increase of 3% to 141,248 of visas issued to non-EU students for 12 months or more.
- IPS data shows that of those whose main reason for long-term migration was study-related, the majority (70%) were non-EU citizens, 24% were EU citizens and the remaining 5% were British citizens.
- In 2016, the estimate of non-British citizens immigrating to the UK to study for 12 months or more was 124,000, which was a statistically significant decrease of 24,000 from 148,000 the previous year.
- IPS data shows that 52% (64,000) of non-British citizens immigrating to study in 2016 were citizens of Asian countries, which was a statistically significant decrease of 16,000 from 80,000 in 2015.
- In year ending March 2017, total sponsored visa applications to study from non-EU nationals (main applicants only) increased by 2% to 202,042.
- There was an increase in visa applications to study for higher education (to 168,591, up 3%). Applications from Russell Group universities rose by 7%. There was also a rise for English Language schools (to 2,955, up 11%).
- There were decreases in visa applications to study for the further education sector and other educational institutions (to 14,534, 6% decrease), as well as for independent schools (to 13,379, 1% decrease).
- One-third of non-EU study visas were granted to Chinese students (up by 7,000 or 10% compared to a year earlier), and the 3 largest nationalities combined made up around a half of the non-EU foreign students granted visas in the year ending March 2017.
- The top 5 nationalities for study in year ending March 2017 (main applicants) were China (77,290), United States (14,268), India (11,642), Hong Kong (9,041) and Saudi Arabia (8,494).

Migration Statistics Quarterly Report, May 2017 (Working in the UK)
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has published their Migration Statistics Quarterly Report, May 2017.
The key points in relation to working in the UK were as follows:
- Work remains the most common reason for international migration with 275,000 people immigrating to work in 2016 (decrease of 33,000 from 2015).
- IPS data showed that EU citizens drove the decrease in the number of people arriving looking for work. Estimates showed a statistically significant decrease from 77,000 in 2015 to 55,000 in 2016. Half of this decrease was due to the numbers of EU8 citizens falling from 27,000 to 16,000 in 2016 (a statistically significant decrease).
- IPS estimates show around 61% of immigrants arriving for work were EU citizens, 25% were non-EU citizens and 14% were British citizens.
- Of the 66,000 non-EU immigrants arriving for work-related reasons, 18,000 (27%) arrived looking for work and these are likely to be accounted fro by people granted visas for the Youth Mobility Scheme.
- In the year ending March 2017, the number of sponsored work (Tier 2) visas, including dependents, rose by 2% to 94,000, whereas Tier 5 youth mobility and temporary visas decreased by 4% at 42,000.
- Indian nationals accounted for 58% of total skilled work visas granted (53,863 of 93,566), with USA nationals the next largest nationality (9,255 or 10% of the total).
- Of the total in employment in January to March 2017, 88.9% were British nationals, 7.3% were EU nationals and 3.9% were non-EU nationals.
- The growth in overall employment over the last year was 385,000. 46% of this growth was for British nationals, 45% for EU nationals and 9% accounted for by non-EU nationals.

Audits and Inspections
Veristat
is hugely experienced at providing compliance audits across all tiers.
We have worked with hundreds of employers ranging from small, family
businesses to multi-nationals, high street retailers and professional
sports clubs. In the education sector, we have worked with over 30
universities and a significant number of colleges and schools.
Our
audit/inspection service is fully flexible and can be tailored to
individual requirements. And our approach is based on sound practical
experience of the reality of the UKVI's approach.
- For employers,
we offer inspections of Tier 2 compliance in whatever level of detail
is required, as well as on site inspections (which can be announced or
unannounced to simulate a UKVI visit) of compliance with "right to work"
checks and requirements.
- For education providers
our services range from a "lite" health-check to a comprehensive review
of Tier 4 activities, identifying compliance - or otherwise - with UKVI
requirements, as well as any omissions or areas which can be improved.
Alternatively, it can comprise inspection of a specific issue, such as
visa refusals, or relationships with partner institutions.
On
completion, we provide a comprehensive, evidence-based report together
with an assessment of how well the institution or business is prepared
to withstand scrutiny by UK Visas and Immigration. We will support the
introduction of change if required and offer a 'spot check' follow up
service at a later date to reassure management that recommendations have
been implemented.
File Inspection Days
If
you're unsure whether you require a full compliance audit or specific
training, but would like an independent check of your files to ensure
they are fully compliant with Home Office requirements, we can provide a
UKVI file compliance inspection of either your staff or student files.
Depending
on the number of employees/students you have, we would either check all
the files, or an agreed sample. After the inspection has taken place,
we would provide a written report outlining any risks, feedback and
recommendations. For further information or a quote for our file
inspection days, please email enquiries@veristat.co.uk
Contact
us today for further information about any of our services or to talk
over any issues or concerns you have, confidentially and without
obligation.

- For employers, we offer inspections of Tier 2 compliance in whatever level of detail is required, as well as on site inspections (which can be announced or unannounced to simulate a UKVI visit) of compliance with "right to work" checks and requirements.
- For education providers our services range from a "lite" health-check to a comprehensive review of Tier 4 activities, identifying compliance - or otherwise - with UKVI requirements, as well as any omissions or areas which can be improved. Alternatively, it can comprise inspection of a specific issue, such as visa refusals, or relationships with partner institutions.

On
completion, we provide a comprehensive, evidence-based report together
with an assessment of how well the institution or business is prepared
to withstand scrutiny by UK Visas and Immigration. We will support the
introduction of change if required and offer a 'spot check' follow up
service at a later date to reassure management that recommendations have
been implemented.
File Inspection Days
If you're unsure whether you require a full compliance audit or specific training, but would like an independent check of your files to ensure they are fully compliant with Home Office requirements, we can provide a UKVI file compliance inspection of either your staff or student files.
Depending on the number of employees/students you have, we would either check all the files, or an agreed sample. After the inspection has taken place, we would provide a written report outlining any risks, feedback and recommendations. For further information or a quote for our file inspection days, please email enquiries@veristat.co.uk
Contact
us today for further information about any of our services or to talk
over any issues or concerns you have, confidentially and without
obligation.
