If you currently have a Masters degree and meet the requirements for the UK Tier 1 visa it may be worth applying now.  UK Immigration will probably be making significant changes to the requirements for the UK Tier 1 visa very soon.

As mentioned in previous news reports UK immigration are substantially increasing Government fees in many cases.   Some fees for dependent relative applications will double or triple in price.

If you wish to come under the current fee schedule you have to apply before Tuesday 6 April 2010. 

The recent Australian immigration changes mean that fewer people qualify for Australian immigration under the skilled independent visa.   The Migration Occupations in Demand List no longer exists.   Changes to the Skilled Occupation List in June 2010 may make Australian immigration more difficult still.

As expected UK immigration will be making significant changes to the requirements for the UK Tier 1 visa and Tier 2 visa. The changes will take place on 6 and 7 April 2010. If you meet the requirements for the Tier 1 or Tier 2 visa you should seriously consider applying now before the changes in less than a month's time.

The United Kingdom Border Agency (UKBA) announced full details of the changes to UK Tier 1 and Tier 2 visas on 18 March 2010.UKBA reminds people that the changes will take place on 6 April 2010. It should also be noted that 2 and 5 April 2010 are public holidays in the UK which may mean that the last day for applications under the current immigration rules may be 1 April 2010.
