The UK's Immigration Minister, Damian Green, has recently issued a written Ministerial Statement proposing to increase immigration and nationality fees for all those applying to study, work, visit or stay in the UK.
Normally such fee increases our implemented when proposed, but that's not to say it shouldn't be challenged.
Most categories (including Entry Clearance and in-country extensions) will see significant increases with Tier 4 Students (15.9% proposed increase) and their dependents (134.00% proposed increase) set to be the hardest hit.
What we are seeing here is migrants picking up the bill for the UKBA's public spending cuts.
