  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Immigration (Leave to Remain) (Prescribed Forms and Procedures) Regulations 2003 (“the 2003 Regulations”). The 2003 Regulations prescribe forms to be used for applications for leave to remain in the United Kingdom and the procedures to be followed in relation to an application for which a form is prescribed.\nRegulation 3 of these Regulations inserts into the 2003 Regulations a new regulation 3A which prescribes the form to be used for an application for limited leave to remain in the United Kingdom for work permit employment, as a highly skilled migrant or a seasonal agricultural worker, for the purpose of employment under the Sectors-Based Scheme, or for Home Office approved training or work experience. The form, which is set out in the Schedule to these Regulations, is inserted by Regulation 8 as Schedule 1A to the 2003 Regulations.\nRegulation 6 of these Regulations amends the prescribed procedures to provide that an application for which a form is prescribed in new regulation 3A must be sent by prepaid post or by courier to Work Permits (UK) at the Immigration and Nationality Directorate of the Home Office.",
