Have a look at https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0005x77 >>> Understaffed immigration inspectorate struggles to hold Home Office to account: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/icibi-annual-report-2018-to-2019 Staff shortages mean that the immigration inspector’s office is struggling to effectively scrutinise the work of the Home Office, according to the organisation’s annual report. There are supposed to be 25 inspectors working under chief David Bolt, but by the end of March 2019 there were just 11 in post. The inspectorate operated at two-thirds strength across the whole of last year and “is likely to be significantly under strength for at least the first half of 2019-20”, Bolt said. The staffing troubles seem to be caused by high turnover compounded by difficulty recruiting civil servants — inspectors have traditionally come from the Home Office itself — as well as security clearance holding up external recruitment. The organisation managed only seven published reports in 2018/19 — compared to 20 the previous year.

In exceptional circumstances and application outside the rules might be contemplated, however. An extension is explicitly ruled out for a PPE visitor or transit visitor. Other types of visitor can potentially apply to extend their stay if they meet the following criteria: An application for an extension of stay as a visitor must satisfy the decision maker that they continue to meet all the suitability and eligibility requirements for a visit visa. The applicant must not be in the UK in breach of immigration laws, except for any period of overstaying of 28 days or less which will be discounted. If the applicant is applying for an extension of stay as a visitor for the purpose of receiving private medical treatment they must also satisfy the decision maker they: (a) have met the costs of any medical treatment received so far; and (b) provide a letter from a registered medical practitioner, at a private practice or NHS hospital, who holds an NHS consultant post or who appears in the Specialist Register of the General Medical Council, detailing the medical condition requiring further treatment. The following extensions of stay are permissible: A standard visitor or a visitor for marriage or civil partnership who was granted a visit visa or leave to enter for less than 6 months may be granted an extension of stay as a visitor so that the total period they can remain the UK (including both the original grant and the extension of stay) does not exceed 6 months. A standard visitor who is in the UK for private medical treatment may be granted an extension of stay as a visitor for a further 6 months, provided this is for private medical treatment. Standard visitor who is an academic on sabbatical leave and is in the UK undertaking their own research, or the spouse, partner or child accompanying such an academic, can be granted an extension of stay as a visitor so that the total period they can remain in the UK (including both the original grant and the extension of stay) does not exceed 12 months. A standard visitor may be granted an extension of stay as a visitor for up to 6 months in order to resit the Professional and Linguistic Assessment Board (PLAB) Test, provided they meet the requirements at Appendix 3, paragraph 22(b)(i) of the main Immigration Rules. A standard visitor who is successful in the Professional and Linguistic Assessment Board Test may be granted an extension of stay as a visitor to undertake a clinical attachment, provided they meet the requirements of Appendix 3, paragraph 22(a) so that the total period they can remain in the UK (including both the original grant and the extension of stay) does not exceed 18 months. There is no provision in the rules for extensions of stay beyond these limits. >>> Some visitors in the UK can work, did you know ? Enter the Permitted Paid Engagement (PPE) visitors PPE visitors are allowed to do any of the activities listed in Visitor Appendix 3 that a standard visitor can do, but they must also meet the additional requirements of Part V6: "An applicant must intend to do one (or more) of the permitted paid engagements set out in Appendix 4 to these Rules, which must: (a) be arranged before the applicant travels to the UK; and (b) be declared as part of the application for a visit visa or leave to enter; and (c) be evidenced by a formal invitation, as required by Appendix 4; and (d) relate to the applicant’s area of expertise and occupation overseas". Visitors Appendix 4 then sets out what is meant by a “permitted paid engagement” for the purpose of a visit visa: "(a) an academic who is highly qualified within his or her field of expertise may examine students and/or participate in or chair selection panels, if they have been invited by a UK Higher Education Institution or a UK based research or arts organisation as part of that institution or organisation’s quality assurance processes. (b) An expert may give lectures in their subject area, if they have been invited by a UK Higher Education Institution; or a UK based research or arts organisation provided this does not amount to filling a teaching position for the host organisation. (c) An overseas designated pilot examiner may assess UK based pilots to ensure they meet the national aviation regulatory requirements of other countries, if they have been invited by an approved training organisation based in the UK that is regulated by the UK Civil Aviation Authority for that purpose. (d) A qualified lawyer may provide advocacy for a court or tribunal hearing, arbitration or other form of dispute resolution for legal proceedings within the UK, if they have been invited by a client. (e) A professional artist, entertainer, musician or sports person may carry out an activity directly relating to their profession, if they have been invited by a creative (arts or entertainment) or sports organisation, agent or broadcaster based in the UK" >>> Steps on how to prepare a good Entry Clearance application for a Visitor visa Because everyone’s situation is different it is hard to give general guidance but there are some simple hints and tips that can be followed to help reduce the chances of an unnecessary refusal: - Check the form carefully and get someone else to check it. Entry Clearance Officers can be very unforgiving of errors and omissions. - Make sure all the questions are answered. - Answer every question carefully and truthfully. Refusals on the basis of suspected deception can be easy to trigger through a thoughtless answer and can be hard to overturn. - Check the immigration history carefully and specifically about previous refusals for or removal from any country (not just the UK). - Assume that the application will be considered by a person who will assume everyone is lying unless you can prove otherwise with independent and verifiable evidence. For example, if you do not include with the application three months of continuous bank statements showing a positive balance and at least some savings then it is highly likely the application will be refused on maintenance and accommodation grounds and also intention to return grounds. - If the application is to be decided by a high refusal rate application centre, go to extra effort to obtain high quality evidence to support the application that goes beyond the evidence asked for on the application form. - Use a covering letter to explain in more detail the reasons for the visit, plans for the visit, circumstances at home (finances, family ties, employment) and what documents have been included in the application. A numbered list of documents is very useful, particularly if you write corresponding numbers on the documents themselves, so that your cover letter is effectively a contents page for the application. The easier the Entry Clearance Officer finds it to understand the application and its circumstances, the more likely the application will be successful Or, best of all the words, ask the Legal Centre to check your application for your peace of mind via this link: https://legalcentre.org/Immigration-Application-Verification-Service.html

Можно ли оспорить отказ по гостевой визе ? В случае отказа по гостевой визе Британские Визовые Центры (UK Visa Application Centres) обычно выдают отказное письмо стандартного образца, где указывается, что право апелляции по отказу в гостевой визе может быть использовано только в случаях нарушения прав человека, т.е. Art 8 ECHR, и на основании т.н. расовой дискриминации. Большинство заявителей, получивших отказы в гостевых визах, не понимают, что имеют право оспорить такой отказ в суде. Сразу стоит уточнить, что право апелляции по отказам в гостевых визах обычно распространяется на заявителей, которые хотели посетить родственников в Великобритании, например: муж хочет посетить жену в Великобритании, ребенок (до 18 лет) хочет посетить родителя в Великобритании ребенок (до 18 лет) хочет навестить родителей или бабушку с дедушкой в Великобритании и т.п. Подразумевается, что британские родственники имеют или статус постоянного жителя в Великобритании, или британское гражданство, или находятся в Великобритании на основании Европейского права, т.е. EEA Regulations. Сложнее оспорить отказ в суде лицам, кто не являются детьми до 18 лет или супругами лиц, постоянно проживающих в Великобритании, хотя это так же возможно. Мало кто знает, что даже существует специальная апелляционная форма, где есть категория апелляции, которая так и называется “Family Visit Appeal”. Я на протяжении двух десятков лет работаю в британских иммиграционных судах и могу помочь Вам в той или иной ситуации, начиная с получения визы Вашим родственником и до оспаривания отказа в суде.

25 June 2019 – Just useful and interesting UK & EEA Immigration Law news and updates from the Legal Centre – Open 7 days a week - www.legalcentre.org – Mob : +44(0)7791145923 >>> Indefinite leave to remain in the UK: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/indefinite-leave-to-remain-in-the-uk?utm_source=f2e4a451-46a8-4722-8734-ed059b41279b&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=govuk-notifications&utm_content=immediate This guidance provides information about what it means to have indefinite leave to remain (ILR) in the UK, also known as settlement. >>> MAC to advise on future salary thresholds: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/home-secretary-asks-independent-migration-experts-to-advise-on-future-salary-thresholds?utm_source=b6a36e08-6f58-400d-b358-780343769d33&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=govuk-notifications&utm_content=immediate From the Government's announcement: "The Home Secretary Sajid Javid has today (Monday 24 June) asked the Migration Advisory Committee to review and advise on salary thresholds for the future immigration system, which will start to take effect from 2021. The Migration Advisory Committee previously recommended that the government should retain the existing minimum salary thresholds in the future immigration system, which includes paying experienced workers at least £30,000, and new entrants (including recent graduates) at least £20,800. The Home Secretary has asked the Migration Advisory Committee to consider how future salary thresholds should be calculated, the levels of salary thresholds, whether there is a case for regional salary thresholds for different parts of the UK, and whether there should be exceptions to salary thresholds, for example because they’ve newly started the occupation or because they work in an occupation in shortage. After publishing plans for the new skills-based immigration system in December 2018, the government has embarked on a year-long engagement programme with business and employers up and down the UK. In the white paper, the government said it would engage with businesses and employers on the salary threshold. Since then, the Home Office has held over 100 events across the UK, engaging 1,500 stakeholders representing businesses and employers. It has also set up five advisory groups to deepen engagement between government and industry. The new immigration system will mark the end of free movement and introduce a new route for skilled workers which favours experience and talent over nationality. It already includes measures designed to support business, such as: -removing the cap on skilled worker numbers - speeding up processing times for work visas - scrapping resident labour market tests - widening the skills thresholds so that anyone with the equivalent of A levels can apply under the new skilled workers route To help organisations adjust to the new system, as a transitional measure, there will be a temporary work route allowing workers from some countries to come for a year and work, open to all skill levels. The Migration Advisory Committee is expected to report back by January 2020 when the government will consider all the evidence before finalising plans. The new immigration system will be phased in from 2021. >>> Extended family members denied an appeal can go ahead and lodge one: https://www.bailii.org/uk/cases/UKUT/IAC/2019/194.html Banger (EEA: EFM – Right of Appeal) [2019] UKUT 194 (IAC) has finally reached the end of the road. This is the case that went up to the Court of Justice of the European Union on, essentially, two issues: - Does the Surinder Singh route apply to durable parters? and - Are extended family members entitled to a full appeal on the merits, rather than a judicial review on an error of law? The CJEU said “yes” to both, as we reported at the time: Court of Justice finds Surinder Singh applies to extended family members. The case has now returned to the Upper Tribunal for a final decision, some six years after Ms Banger was first refused a residence card. Those who benefit from this decision should spare a thought for the stress, inconvenience and cost to which the lead litigant has been exposed over these years and the hard work put in by her legal team. The Home Office had already agreed to issue a residence card to Ms Banger (although failed to actually issue it). The appeal nevertheless proceeded at Ms Banger’s request. There is a tranche of extended family members who have been denied a proper statutory right of appeal. After the disastrously wrong Sala case, extended family members were wrongly denied a right of appeal under the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2006. Once Sala was overturned, those affected could go ahead and lodge an appeal and request an extension of time. In the meantime, though, the Home Office had brought into effect the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2016, which denied the same right of appeal on a statutory basis. An amendment conferring a right of appeal under the 2016 regulations was eventually laid in response to the CJEU Banger judgment. This right of appeal was not retrospective, though, meaning that there were an unknown number of people who received decisions under the 2016 regulations before the amendment took effect who had no statutory right of appeal. The tribunal says those affected can do one of two things: - Ask the Home Office for a new decision and then appeal that, or - Just get on with it and lodge an appeal, making sure an extension of time is requested" The second option is quicker and more convenient and is available because of the direct effect of EU law and the terms of the CJEU Banger judgment. >>> Work visa refusal based on “genuine vacancy” rule declared irrational: https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2019/1019.html Where a company sponsors a worker from overseas to fill a vacancy in the UK they must only do so if that vacancy is “genuine”. The case of R (Suny) v SSHD [2019] EWCA Civ 1019 arose from a disagreement between a sponsored worker and the Home Office about the genuineness of a vacancy that a sponsoring company was attempting to fill. Unusually in this case, the Court of Appeal agreed with the visa applicant that the Secretary of State had crossed the “notoriously high” irrationality threshold in deciding that no genuine vacancy existed.

In R (Singh) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2019] EWCA Civ 1014, the Upper Tribunal set aside an earlier grant of permission because the Home Office had been prevented from attending the permission hearing due to a misunderstanding. >>> Court of Appeal quashes clearly unfounded certificate in Albanian asylum claim: https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2019/951.html This week the Court of Appeal quashed the certification of an Albanian asylum claim as “clearly unfounded”. In SP (Albania) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2019] EWCA Civ 951, the court found that the Home Office had not properly investigated the appellant’s account of being persecuted before deciding to certify the claim under section 94(2) of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002, contrary to its own policy on certification. The court also gave helpful guidance on issuing “clearly unfounded” certificates, stating that the Home Office cannot certify asylum claims without first giving proper attention to all salient features of the case. Certificates under section 94(2) should only be given if, after assessing all the facts and the evidence provided, it’s clear that the claim is so clearly without substance that it is “bound to fail”, as was held in ZL & VL v SSHD [2003] EWCA Civ 25.
