The 2006 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. These Regulations prescribe a new FLR (IED) form for applications for limited leave to remain in the UK for (i) work permit employment, (ii) as a seasonal agricultural worker, (iii) for the purposes of the Sectors-Based Scheme and (iv) for Home Office approved training or work experience. The new FLR (IED) form omits any reference to highly skilled migrants. In addition, a new form, FLR (HSMP), is prescribed for applications for limited leave to remain in the UK as a highly skilled migrant. This new form is prescribed in order to reflect the changes that have been made to the immigration rules in respect of the highly skilled migrant programme. These Regulations also provide transitional arrangements. Applications for limited leave to remain in the UK for (i) work permit employment, (ii) as a seasonal agricultural worker, (iii) for the purposes of the Sectors-Based Scheme and (iv) for the Home Office approved training or work experience which are made on the old FLR (IED) form (i.e. the form that still has references to highly skilled migrants) will be treated as if made on the new FLR (IED) form (i.e. the one without references to highly skilled migrants) for 27 days after these Regulations come into force. In addition, applications for limited leave to remain in the UK as a highly skilled migrant which are made on the old FLR (IED) form will be treated as if made on the new FLR (HSMP) form for 27days after these Regulations come into force. --- Source: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2006/2899 (the official version) Page: https://openlegislation.uk/immigration-leave-to-remainprescribed-forms-and-proceduresamendment-no2-regulations-2006 Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
