CHAPTER ONE

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

1.1 INTRODUCTION

In this project, design and implementation of a computerize visa

processing information system is based on how you can get lost of information

about our service, from advice on how to apply for a visa, to news about

immigration policy changes. I hope you find it helpful.

UK visas is the overseas arm of Britain’s integrated border management.

We have visa offices in 160 locations throughout the world. The largest

handles 300,000 applications a year; the smallest less than 10. we issue visas

to 80% of those who apply and stop only those who are a significant

immigration risk to the UK. We process over 90% of straightforward

applications within 24 hours. This is a record of which we are proud, but we

aim to do even better.

Our new mission statement explains how UK visas will deliver the

border objectives set by our parent department, the home office and foreign

5

and common wealth office; to achieve a balance between managing travel and

migration and preventing illegal immigration

Our goals are

to bring communities together

to improve Britain’s competitiveness as a destination for travel, trade,

migration and investment

to prevent immigration abuse

to deliver for money

to earn public confidence

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

in British visa processing information system the problems we are facing

are (i) Bankruptcy Attorney e.g. consumer present their case at legal match by

through extensive client acquisition and market outreach efforts our legal

match will assists thousands of visitors every day seeking help with their legal

issues. In some areas consumers can also reach us by phone so new

bankruptcy legislation may make it harder to find an attorney. (ii) Another

problem in visa processing into system is the privacy and security problems ie

6

using illegal or fraud visa to go to overseas. (iii) Health (tuberculosis)

screening is another problem in visa processing system since it valid for larger

than six months in certain countries now require a certificate to show that they

are free from infections tuberculosis (TB) before that person will travel to

overseas. The Government announced on 21 July 2005 its intention is to

implement the first phase of an overseas screening programme for TB for

people applying to enter the UK for more than 6 months in four year strategy

earlier this year. The benefit of the programme is that successful applicants

will benefit on arrival in the UK as they will not need to be referred to the port

medical inspector before being allowed to enter the country.

1.3 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY

The UK purpose of study in visa processing system is to achieve the

following Diplomatic mission.

A Diplomatic Mission is the office of a country’s diplomatic

representative in the capital city of another country.

Diplomatic Mission are established in accordance with the erovisions

of the Vienna convention on Diplomatic relations 1961.

7

Diplomatic Mission of a common wealth country in another common

wealth country is called a “High commission”

The head of mission is called “High commissioner”.

A diplomatic mission in any foreign (i.e. non-common wealth)

country is called an Embassy and the head of mission is called

Ambassador’

High commissions and Embassies perform the same functions and

have the same status.

The good management of our diplomatic mission is essential to the success

of their work.

1.4 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

UK visas began life as the joint entry clearance unit (JECU) in June

2000. it was established jointly by the foreign and common wealth officer and

the home office to manage the UK’s entry clearance (visa) operation.

Visa or entry clearance applications are processed by entry clearance

officers in UK embassies, high commissions and consulates abroad,

collectively known as UK missions. UK visas work closely with the

8

immigration and Nationality Directorate (IND) of the Home office, the

Government department responsible for immigration policy and dealing with

applications from people already in the UK to extend their stay; or to change

their immigration status. UK visas reports to a joint management board of

senior foreign and common wealth (FCD) and Home office officials and to

ministers in both departments.

1.5 SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The scope of the study is concerned with the review to improve.

Britain’s competitiveness as a destination for travel, trade, immigration and

investment and to bring communities together. Specifically the study covers

such areas like how UK visas will deliver the border objectives set by our

parent department, such as the home office and the foreign common wealth

office in order to achieve a balance between managing people’s travel and

migration, and also preventing illegal immigration. In this study new

computerized system is produced / designed after the critical analysis of the

existing system of British embassy and visa processing information system.
