UK Home Secretary, Theresa May, hopes to boost the number of Chinese visitors coming to Britain by introducing a new UK visa scheme. The scheme will enable Chinese nationals, for the first time ever, to apply for European and UK visas in a single process.

"It will eliminate the need for Chinese tourists and entrepreneurs to wade through masses of additional paperwork in order to get a European visa while planning a trip to the UK," said the Home Secretary.

There were hopes that the March 2015 draft guidelines for US L-1B non-immigrant work visas would make it easier for employers and applicants for L-1 visas. Sanwar Ali Editor ofworkpermit.com News one of the most popular visa related websites in the World has the following to say:

Britain's debate on EU membership is fuelled by hatred, lies, and fearmongering about eastern European immigrants, according to European Parliament president Martin Schulz.

EU leaders discussed migrant quotas during talks in Luxembourg on June 16, with EU justice and home affairs ministers meeting to discuss a more even distribution of asylum seekers across the European Union's 28 member states.

Ministers say that Countries such as Greece, Italy and Malta are struggling to cope with the influx of migrants crossing the Mediterranean seeking entry to Europe; each of these countries are having to deal with large numbers of refugee immigrants and carry out daily rescue missions to save migrants stranded at sea.

Former world squash champion and 6 time British champion Cassie Thomas is unable to return to the UK with her husband and two daughters because officials refused her husband's visa application.

The sportswoman's husband, who is an Australian national, worked in the UK for 8 years until the couple moved to Melbourne in 2010. Despite having a guaranteed civil engineering job in the UK, Mr. Thomas has been denied entry as a permanent resident to the UK by the Home Office.

Britain should emulate Australia's "strict points-based" immigration system, according to UK Labour leadership candidate Liz Kendall. It should be mentioned that the UK has had a points based immigration system since 2008. Since 2008 it has become increasingly difficult to meet the requirements of the tier based UK points based system. The Tier 1 General Visa for skilled migrants has been closed. The requirements for entry under the Tier 2 visa and Tier 4 visa have become more difficult. Ms Kendall's remarks are misleading and yet another cynical attempt by a politician to gain support.
