UK Visa Application Error
by british ·
With 2.4 millions visa applications each year you expect a few to slip through the net but not 15% like is been claimed these seem to be mainly short term visas.
Officials have been under strain to issue visas to meet targets, and this is where the slip up has been made. Its claimed its a lot faster and easier to accept a visa application than it is to reject one, so to meet targets officials have been accepting visas with less scrutiny than they should have been given.
Rejected visas are subjected to a higher check for accuracy where as there is no similar check for visas that are accepted.
The British Embassy in Tehran has found the new points based system was excellent when tested as it was much simpler clearer and easier to use, compared to the current system which see’s poor decision making and few visas refused.
Labour claiming they had immigration under control seems to be a bit far from the truth at the moment but we can always hope it will get better in the future with stricter polices put into place
Hopefully the new points system that is due to be implemented within the next few days should be more effective than the current method but only time will tell.
