Immigration policy in the United Kingdom is constantly under review, with Immigration rules frequently being updated. Woodcock Law has compiled this guide to assist you with the name changes from the past few months. 

Have you ever wondered what happened to a UK visa category? Rather than having been removed, its name may have simply changed.
