12 September 2019 – Just useful and interesting UK & EEA Immigration Law news and updates from the Legal Centre – Open 7 days a week - www.legalcentre.org – +44(0)3300010342, +44(0)7791145023 (WhatsApp/Viber) >>> The 2 Years Post Study Work Visa will be available again, apparently : https://www.gov.uk/government/news/worlds-largest-genetics-research-project-to-fight-deadly-diseases-and-offer-new-offer-for-international-students The news in 1 sentence: “The Post Study Work Scheme will allow students to work in the UK for the employ-er of their choice for up to 2 years”. The two-year Post Study Work Visa will be re-introduced, apparently. Multiple statements, from the Prime Minister, the Business Secretary, the Department for Education and, last and least, the Home Office have been released announcing the resurrection of a visa originally introduced in 2004 and killed off by Theresa May in 2012. As background, the earliest incarnation of the post study work visa was the Science and Engineering Graduates Scheme in 2004, when the visa was limited to graduates in certain subjects and a 12-month post-graduation period of work was permitted. A similar scheme was trialed across all subject areas in Scotland from 2005 as the Fresh Talent: Working in Scot-land Scheme, back in the days when regional immigration policy was permitted. The period of work permitted was extended to two years. The scheme was judged a success and rolled out across the UK in 2007 as the International Graduates Scheme, but offering only a 12 month post-graduation period in which work was permitted. It was then absorbed into the Points Based System from 2008 as the Tier 1 (Post Study Work) visa. A more limited six-month form of the post-study work visa was reintroduced recently. The date of implementation is not entirely clear yet, but the announcement suggests it will be available to students starting in the next academic year, September 2020. It is unknown whether current students already on courses in the UK will also benefit from the rule change. It is a shame that space could not be found for the measure in the formal Statement of Changes to the Immigration Rules was dropped just two days ago, which would have provided clarity and certainty to all concerned. The return of the Blair-era drive to recruit foreign students and acknowledgment that there is stiff international competition to attract them has, unsurprisingly, been welcomed by universities themselves. Alistair Jarvis, Chief Executive of Universities UK, is quoted in the press release as saying: “This is very positive news. Evidence shows that international students bring significant positive social outcomes to the UK as well as £26 billion in economic contributions, but for too long the lack of post-study work opportunities in the UK has put us at a competitive disadvantage in attracting those students.” The introduction of a two-year post-study work visa is something Universities UK has long campaigned for, and we strongly welcome this policy change, which will put us back where we belong as a first choice study destination. Not only will a wide range of employers now have access to talented graduates from around the world, these students hold lifelong links in the UK. An estimated 14% of all university income is from the substantial fees paid by foreign students. Not only that but foreign students contribute considerably to the wider economy when they live in the UK, provide a potential talent pool from which employers can recruit and offer potentially huge ‘soft power’ influence to the United Kingdom in the future. Foreign students fell out of favor under Theresa May for two reasons. Firstly, the insane net migration target meant that any migrant, even an otherwise highly desirably one, became undesirable. May herself said in 2011 when announcing the scrapping of post study work visas: “The package of measures that I have outlined today is expected to reduce the number of student visas by between 70,000 and 80,000—a reduction of more than 25%—and it will increase the outflow of foreign students after they have concluded their studies.” The scrapping of this visa was closely associated with May herself and Ministers have been scrambling to dissociated themselves from it. The previous Home Secretary himself, Sajid Javid, who was until recently nominally in charge of immigration policy, has tweeted that it is ‘About time. Should have reversed this silly policy years ago.’ Jo Johnson was known to have championed re-introduction of the visa before he quit his brother’s government last week: “About time. Should have reversed this silly policy years ago. Britain should always be open to the best talent from across the world. https://t.co/sAx1BIFSIR — Sajid Javid (@sajidjavid) September 10, 2019” The second reason for the fall from grace of this group was that the Home Office wrongly thought that loads of foreign students were overstaying their visas. In fact, the latest evidence is that a tiny percentage do so. With the adjusted data, there was really no rationale for driving numbers down. Finally, it seems noteworthy that a range of government departments are being associated with the announcement. Even the Department for Education is in on the act. Is this a sign that immigration policy is no longer driven entirely by the Home Office? Let us hope so. Those hoping for a relaxation of the incredibly harsh family immigration rules may be dis-appointed, though. Foreign students are relatively popular in opinion polling. Migrant family members are not. The timing of this announcement, just after a Statement of Changes to the Immigration Rules which could have implemented the policy and at a time when Conservative electoral strategists must be searching around for a way to make the government seem more liberal, certainly points to this being about positive polling rather than good governance. >>> UKVI update: Family members of points-based system migrants: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiq0qKR7sjkAhUtQkEAHSraAt8QFjAAegQIABAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.publishing.service.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fuploads%2Fsystem%2Fuploads%2Fattachment_data%2Ffile%2F830320%2Ffamily-members-of-pbs-migrants-v17.0.pdf&usg=AOvVaw1oH4MyYD-jTpgSKkTiw2ch This version replaces the ‘Dependant family members of points-based system migrants and Appendix W Workers version 16.0’ which has been withdrawn and archived.

12 September 2019 – Just useful and interesting UK & EEA Immigration Law news and updates from the Legal Centre – Open 7 days a week - www.legalcentre.org – +44(0)3300010342, +44(0)7791145023 (WhatsApp/Viber) >>> Important changes for the EU citizens under the EU Pre-Settled and Settled Scheme Some changes have been rather worrying – see the detailed review below. The UK Government has introduced the Statement of Changes to the Immigration Rules HC 2631. This is a formal change to the immigration rules and there is a lot to it; the full version weighs in at 102 pages. This review will be about the changes made the EU Settlement Scheme. The ministerial announcement suggests that most of the changes relate to Surinder Singh, with some ‘technical changes’ here and there. While many are technical changes in order to improve understanding and clarity, some of them are quite important. These changes to the EU Settlement Scheme, formally known as Appendix EU in the Immigration Rules, are brought into effect on 1 October 2019. Administrative Reviews The rules relating to Administrative Review have been changed to specify deadlines for such applications depending on the location and situation of the applicant. For applications made by persons in the UK but not in detention the deadline will be 28 calendar days after receipt by the applicant of the relevant decision. For applications made by person in the UK and in detention the deadline is 7 calendar days. For applications made by persons overseas the deadline is 28 calendar days. Those in immigration detention will have a torrid time trying to apply within 7 calendar days. There are administrative barriers to overcome, such as restrictions on communications to those outside the centres. The barriers to accessing good quality legal advice are even higher. Often individuals have to represent themselves for that reason. Without specialist knowledge of this scheme, it will reduce the chances of successfully challenging decisions. The previous version of the rules allowed Administrative Review applications to be made outside of the deadline at the discretion of the Secretary of State. This discretion to allow late applications has been removed from the rules, meaning that from 1 October 2019 all Administrative Review applications must be made within the deadline. This is a particularly unwelcome change given the high rate at which pre-settled rather than settled status is being granted and the continued absence of a right of appeal, where there is a discretion to admit late applications. There appears to be no reasonable justification for this change. It will be possible to apply for Administrative Review of a decision to cancel leave granted under Appendix EU on the grounds that a person ceases to meet the requirements of that leave. But not where leave is cancelled for other reasons – see below. In future any application for review, it will need to be made online unless the original application was made using a paper form. Family members This section of the rules sees many minor changes to improve scope, understanding and clarity. For instance, the definition of EEA or Irish citizens who have naturalised to become British is adjusted. This means that family members of naturalised Brits who previously seemed to be excluded from the scheme are now included. There are a few changes to the position of family members of an EEA citizen who has ceased activity, for example where an EEA citizen was in work but lost their job. The rules now require the family member to have been resident for a continuous qualifying period before the EEA citizen ceased activity. There was no such requirement in the previous version. Children under 21 of British citizens are able to apply for settled status if their parents were durable partners (i.e. not married or in a civil partnership but in a serious relationship) before Brexit happens. But the durable partners need to marry or form a civil partnership before the application is made. A person who is applying as the dependent parent of an under 18-year-old EEA citizen is now required to prove their dependency in order to be granted status. Surinder Singh The rules relating to family members of British citizens have been amended to reflect the recent policy paper. The British citizen can return with specific family to the UK under these in the following circumstances: • The British citizen can return with the spouse, civil partner or durable partner where these relationships were formed before Brexit day, in these instances they must return before 29 March 2022 • The British citizen can return with the spouse or civil partner where these relationships were formed after Brexit day, in these circumstances they must return before 11 pm on 31 December 2020 • The British citizen can return with the durable partner where that relationship was formed after Brexit day, in these circumstances they must return before 11 pm on 31 December 2020 • The British citizen can return with his or her child or dependent parent or the child or dependent parent of his or her spouse or civil partner, in these circumstances they must return before 11 pm on 29 March 2022. If the British citizen married or entered into a civil partnership after Brexit day and they wishh to return with the child or dependent parent of the spouse or civil partner, then the return date changes to 11 pm on 31 December 2020 • The British citizen can return with his dependent relative other than a parent, so long as that family relationship and the dependency existed before their return to the UK. Their return to the UK must occur before 11 pm on 31 December 2020 It is good to see these rules clarified. The Explanatory Statement which accompanies them states these rules and their deadlines apply in both a ‘deal’ and a ‘no deal’ Brexit scenario. Suitability There are some substantive additions to the section relating to ’suitability’. This is the section where we find details on the circumstances where applications may (discretionary) or must (mandatory) be refused. The accompanying ministerial statement says: “We expect the vast majority of EUSS applicants to be genuine, and for there to be little need for status granted under the EUSS to be cancelled at the border or curtailed in-country. However, it is appropriate that, to safeguard the integrity of the EUSS, its status should be covered by some of the same powers as other forms of immigration leave, so that appropriate action can be taken where necessary.” There has always been a worry that pre-settled or settled status could be cancelled or curtailed. These changes bring life to those concerns. An application for pre-settled status or settled status may (discretionary) now be refused if the applicant has previously been refused entry to the UK under the EEA Regulations. There are instances where EEA citizens or their family members have been incorrectly refused entry to the UK and it requires them to challenge that refusal from outside. It is a long drawn out process that often requires the assistance of a lawyer like the ones from the Legal Centre (www.legalcentre.org ). In many instances these border decisions go unchallenged. Now those historic decisions may be used as a ground to refuse an EUSS application. An application for pre-settled or settled status may also be refused if it relates to someone who previously had such leave, but that leave was cancelled sometime in the past. This includes, not just leave granted under the EU Settlement Scheme from within the UK, but also leave granted in the course of an application to join an EEA national in the UK for the first time under Appendix EU (Family Permit). This means that a person’s pre-settled and, crucially, settled status is by no means a guaranteed status. The refusal of the application must be justified on public policy, public security or public health grounds under the EEA Regulations or, if it occurs after a no-deal Brexit, on the grounds that the decision is conductive to the public good. It essentially it requires a serious criminal offence and, amongst other requirements, the individual has to represent a genuine, present and sufficiently serious threat affecting one of the fundamental interests of society, with higher thresholds to overcome the longer someone has resided in the UK. Public good grounds have a much lower thresholds and is not just about offences but about the adverse conduct of an individual. A person could now be living outside the UK with pre-settled status or settled status, and they could face the cancellation of their leave by the Home Office for this reason. This cancellation can occur on their arrival in the UK or while they are living outside the UK. We, the lawyers at the Legal Centre, know too well that the Home Office decisions are sometimes of very poor quality. They often do not apply the public policy, public security, public health grounds or public good grounds properly, lawfully and correctly. An EEA citizen or their family members must have done something wrong to warrant Home Office attention in this way, but we often see the Home Office trying to cancel leave because of very minor offences or actions. This does leave individuals rather vulnerable to poor decision making. Either statuses could also be cancelled on the basis that false or misleading information, representations or documents were submitted (including false or misleading information) and that material was used to obtain such status. It does not matter if the applicant did or did not know such material was false or misleading. This is major worry because the automatic nature of the EU Settlement Scheme application and the restrictiveness of its declarations has, in some instances, granted status based on incorrect information. For example, an EEA citizen might now be living outside the UK but continuing to work for a UK based company and taxed accordingly. The EEA citizen intends to rely on a five-year continuous residence that occurred before they left the UK. But the nature of the automated residence checks mean that the application inadvertently grants settled status based on the tax information for the period they are outside the UK. The EEA citizen than accepts the application form declarations on the basis that the information is correct. If the EEA citizen is aware of how the system works, they could, in theory, contact the Settlement Resolution Centre to try to remedy this. But if they do not know how the system works, there is no obvious way that they would be aware they are unknowingly accepting settled status based on misleading information. In this scenario, the EEA citizen is obviously eligible for settled status, but they were granted it based on false information and not based on the correct period of residence. The manner in which the Statement of Changes is drafted does not make it clear that, in this scenario, the EEA citizen might not be vulnerable to their leave being cancelled for such a reason. There are many other instances of leave being granted based on incorrect information, though the grant is correct had the right information been requested or obtained. I worry that there may be instances of wrong or unduly harsh cancellations without due regard to the facts and backgrounds of the individual’s circumstances. The rules also provide for the cancellation of leave where the applicant no longer meets the requirements of Appendix EU. Pre-settled status granted under these Rules is in no means a guaranteed route to settlement, it is now not guaranteed a person can retain pre-settled status to acquire the opportunity to apply for settled status. For example, a family member may cease to be a family member during the pre-settled status grant but cannot in any other way retain their status, they would find their leave cancelled and will need to investigate other routes to acquiring leave under the Rules or apply on human rights grounds to remain in the UK. Additionally, a person could acquire an Appendix EU Family Permit to join an EEA citizen in the UK but could find that permit cancelled at the border based on adverse conduct after Brexit occurs but before they travel. There are particular concerns of poor decision making at the border. The time pressures of border control do not provide the optimum conditions for reasoned, thoughtful decision making. Entering the UK with a past adverse record of conduct, however minor, is not guaranteed.
