Immigration Rules Changes: MAC Report of Points Based System
11-Sep-2009 | Employment & Pensions
Throughout 2008 the UK Border Agency (the "UKBA") rolled out the Points Based System (PBS), the most radical change to UK immigration law for 40 years. The UKBA consolidated 80 immigration routes into 5 tiers. After a "bedding in" period of nearly a year, the UKBA commenced its first review of the new system through the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC).
