The Highly Skilled Migrant Programme immigrants, mostly from India, have accused the British government of depriving them of permanent settlement as promised initially.
HSMP Forum, which supports and assists skilled workers in the United Kingdom, has claimed that British immigration officials humiliate, harass and abuse highly skilled Indian workers returning from foreign trips.
The new immigration regime includes tighter rules for students, limits on skilled professionals and new restrictions on the settlement of migrants who are already in Britain.
