24 August 2017 - Useful Immigration News from the Immigration Lawyers who can help - www.legalcentre.org - Ph: 0330 001 0342 or 07791145923 ⦁ Types of adoption vs the UK Immigration applications There are different types of adoption: 1. Adoptions under the terms of the Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption 1993 (or just “Hague Convention” in this context). The Hague Convention only applies to inter-country adoptions. In other words, a family based in the US adopting a child in the US cannot adopt under the terms of the Hague Convention. In addition, not all counties are party to the Convention. 2. Overseas adoptions recognized by UK law. These are adoptions which took place in countries or territories whose adoption procedures are recognized by the UK. For adoptions which took place before 3 January 2014, the list of countries is found in The Adoption (Designation of Overseas Adoptions) Order 1973 and The Adoption (Designation of Overseas Adoptions)(Variation) Order 1993. For adoptions which took place after 3 January 2014, the list of countries is found in The Adoption (Recognition of Overseas Adoptions) Order 2013 for England, Wales and Northern Ireland; and in The Adoption (Recognition of Overseas Adoptions)(Scotland) Regulations 2013 for Scotland. 3. Overseas adoptions not recognized by UK law. These are adoptions which took place in countries not listed above. These cases can be very difficult in immigration terms unless they are classed as “de facto adoptions” (see below) but the recent case of W v SSHD [2017] EWHC 1733 (Fam) provides a rare example of a reported successful resolution, although not without considerable stress and expense. 4. De facto adoptions, defined at paragraph 309A of the Immigration Rules as situations where: - The adoptive parents have been living together abroad for at least eighteen months; and - The adoptive parents have been living together with the child for twelve months; and - The adoptive parents have cared for the child for the full eighteen month period. ⦁ It is official: CJEU says prison does not count : <noindex>http://curia.europa.eu/juris/document/docu...&cid=670176</noindex> and <noindex>http://curia.europa.eu/juris/document/docu...&cid=670807</noindex> The CJEU held very firmly that periods in prison cannot be counted towards permanent residence. The court re-emphasized the importance of “social cohesion” and the need for genuine integration as a way to “strengthen the feeling of Union citizenship”. A prison sentence, which demonstrates that the person concerned does not comply with the values of the host member state as expressed in its criminal law, shows that the link of integration with the host member state has been undermined. It would be contrary to the aims of the Directive to allow periods in prison to count towards a right of permanent residence.

21 August 2017 - Useful Immigration News from the Immigration Lawyers who can help - www.legalcentre.org - Ph: 0330 001 0342 or 07791145923 ⦁ Which divorce is recognized in the UK by the UK BA ? The answer can be found here - RECOGNITION OF MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE: <noindex>https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/syste...63218/recog.pdf</noindex> ⦁ The "Theis case": immigration and nationality law for adopted children: <noindex>https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/au...-visa-nightmare</noindex> The story of Patrick Thies, a US NHS surgeon who had to return to the US to apply for a new visa for his two adopted children while his British wife and biological son remained in the UK, made the news a couple of weeks ago. Immigration and nationality law as it relates to international adoption is undoubtedly complex and a topic with which only a few practitioners are familiar. There are numerically very few international adoption cases, after all. The inevitable cross over with family law does not make it any easier. ⦁ Upper Tribunal provides guidance in cases of judicial bias: <noindex>http://www.bailii.org/uk/cases/UKUT/IAC/2017/293.html</noindex> In Sivapatham (Appearance of Bias: Sri Lanka) [2017] UKUT 293 (IAC) (7 July 2017) frustrated novelist and president of the Upper Tribunal McCloskey J considers the law surrounding judicial bias in the tribunal. As with previous exponents of the art (see Denning LJ, or Moses LJ), judgments of the President are almost always entertaining on some level, written with eloquence and a sense of the dramatic, in ornate prose. This determination is no different, and brings together important guidance on the steps to be taken where judicial bias is alleged, and the relevant legal principles for a court hearing any such allegation. ⦁ A genuine couple can enter in a marriage of convenience, says High Court: <noindex>http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Admin/2017/1730.html</noindex> A couple may enter into a “marriage of convenience”, even if they are in a genuine relationship. This was, in summary, the finding of the High Court in the case of Molina, R (On the Application Of) v The Secretary of State for the Home Department [2017] EWHC 1730 (Admin). ⦁ Study finds asylum judges fail to assist vulnerable appellants : <noindex>http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11...964663917703178</noindex>

17 August 2017 - Useful Immigration News from the Immigration Lawyers who can help - www.legalcentre.org - Ph: 0330 001 0342 or 07791145923 Recent case-law ⦁ RLP (BAH revisited – expeditious justice) Jamaica [2017] UKUT 00330 (IAC) (10 August 2017) : <noindex>https://tribunalsdecisions.service.gov.uk/u...c/2017-ukut-330</noindex> (i) The decision of the Upper Tribunal in BAH (EO – Turkey – Liability to Deport) [2012] UKUT 00196 (IAC) belongs to the legal framework prevailing at the time when it was made: it has long been overtaken by the significant statutory and policy developments and reforms effected by the Immigration Act 2014 and the corresponding amendments of the Immigration Rules, coupled with YM (Uganda) [2014] EWCA Civ 1292 at [36] - [39]. (ii)In cases where the public interest favouring deportation of an immigrant is potent and pressing, even egregious and unjustified delay on the part of the Secretary of State in the underlying decision making process is unlikely to tip the balance in the immigrant’s favour in the proportionality exercise under Article 8(2) ECHR. ⦁ R (on the application of FT) v Secretary of State for the Home Department (“rolling review”; challenging leave granted) [2017] UKUT 00331(IAC) (10 August 2017) : https://tribunalsdecisions.service.gov.uk/utiac/2017-ukut-331 1. The intrinsic undesirability of and the strong general presumption against allowing a “rolling review” in judicial review proceedings whereby the Upper Tribunal admits material evidence that has not been considered by the primary decision maker are important factors in considering an application to amend grounds to challenge a supplementary or new decision (see R (Caroopen & Myrie) v SSHD [2016] EWCA Civ 1307). However, the decision whether to allow amendments of the grounds of challenge is a case management decision taking account of all relevant considerations. 2. In applying the policy set out in the Competent Authority Guidance and the Discretionary Leave Guidance, the fact of the respondent having “mishandled” the case and the impact of that upon the applicant, are relevant/material considerations in determining the duration of leave to be granted to a Victim of Trafficking. 3. Where the respondent has regard to an earlier disengagement from treatment in considering the duration of leave to be granted, a relevant consideration is whether that disengagement from treatment was because of a failure to provide support as a VOT because of an earlier incorrect “conclusive grounds decision”.

Приветстую, Итак: - Для получения ПМЖ можете отсутствовать до 180 дней в году НО ТОГДА - см. ниже - Для получения ГРАЖДАНСТВА после получения ПМЖ можно отсутствовать не более чем 90 дней в году То есть чтобы не было проблем с гражданством желательно не отсутствовать более чем 90 дней в году Если на ПМЖ не удается подать по отсутствиям, то просто подаете на продление, т.е. еще раз на 5-и летнюю визу. И просто выжидаете, чтобы отсутствия "закрылись", и тогда подаете на ПМЖ.

15 August 2017 - Useful Immigration News from the Immigration Lawyers who can help - www.legalcentre.org - Ph: 0330 001 0342 or 07791145923 ⦁ Applying for Settlement after 6 years on Discretionary Leave ? It has been reported that some of the applicants are being sent the Section 120 Statement of additional grounds RED.0003 (s120 response) letter, requesting the applicants to re-confirm some of the information already reuquested by the relevant application form. Wht the UK BA is doing that is unclear. ⦁ Syrians can now upgrade to full refugee status: new form issued: <noindex>https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/...-refugee-status</noindex> From the official statement: "Particularly relevant to Syrians who were not granted formal refugee status and instead got the lesser status of Humanitarian Protection: This form is for people resettled under the Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme or the Vulnerable Children’s Resettlement Scheme who wish to request their status in the UK is changed from Humanitarian Protection to refugee status.". ⦁ How to correct a mistake in a Country Guidance case : <noindex>http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2017/944.html</noindex> What happens where the Upper Tribunal makes a mistake in a Country Guidance case? And in what circumstances will the Court of Appeal have jurisdiction to hear an appeal against an Upper Tribunal decision that has already been remitted to the First Tier Tribunal? It was against this decision that AA appealed to the Court of Appeal, on the basis that there was an error in one of the headnote findings. Unusually, the Secretary of State agreed that the appeal should be allowed on this narrow basis. Both of these interesting issues crop up in AA (Iraq) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2017] EWCA Civ 944 (11 July 2017). ⦁ Virtual hearings to be trialed in immigration tribunal from October 2017: <noindex>https://insidehmcts.blog.gov.uk/2017/08/10/...er-flexibility/</noindex> The press statement: " To make sure we reduce inconvenience and cost to our users and provide greater flexibility and access to our services, we must deal with cases in the most efficient and proportionate way. One of the ways in which we are doing this is the expansion of video and telephony links to provide remote access either into a physical court room or into the new design of a ‘virtual court room’. The use of video links already allows victims and vulnerable people to take part in criminal proceedings without having to meet the defendant face-to-face. Telephone conference technology is also already used (to a limited degree) to progress and manage cases in most jurisdictions and for a range of cases. To achieve effective fully virtual hearings, where all parties including the judge, are remote from the court room, we must look at the interactions that currently take place immediately before and after the hearing to make sure we replicate this important activity and, where possible, enhance it. By designing this new service around those who will use it, including those who are seeking justice as well as our justice partners, the judiciary and our staff, we give ourselves the best chance of identifying the right technology required and the right capability and processes to run it… We are working with partners from Microsoft to build a prototype for a fully virtual hearing, which we will be testing in October 2017 for case management hearings in the Immigration and Asylum Chamber with judges, HMCTS staff, the legal profession and Home Office Presenting Officers.". ⦁ Article 3 and the extradition of a British national to Taiwan: <noindex>https://www.supremecourt.uk/cases/docs/uksc...12-judgment.pdf</noindex> The Supreme Court in the case of the Lord Advocate (representing the Taiwanese Judicial Authorities) (Appellant) v Dean (Respondent) (Scotland) [2017] UKSC 44 considered the first occasion on which Taiwan has sought to extradite a British national. On appeal from the Appeal Court of the High Court of Justiciary (‘the Appeal Court’) the Supreme Court considered the correct test for Article 3 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (‘the ECHR’) within extradition cases and, in doing so, it reviewed the prison conditions that may reach the Article 3 threshold. This case may extend beyond extradition cases and could be useful guidance for other cases including asylum. ⦁ UK’s Home Office issues $118m digitization tender for immigration: <noindex>http://www.planetbiometrics.com/article-de...or-immigration/</noindex> From the official statement: "Britain’s Home Office has issued a £91m ($118m) tender for immigration services using biometrics and the digitisation of supporting evidence. The tender covers how up to 780,000 people either extend their stay in the UK, settle or pursue British nationality." ⦁ New official Administrative Court judicial review guide for 2017: <noindex>https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/...al-review-guide</noindex> Detailed legal guidance on bringing a judicial review case in the Administrative Court.The July 2017 edition reflects legislative and practice changes relevant to the Administrative Court over the last year. Includes guidance on: starting a claim applying for permission for judicial review substantive hearings remedies case management specific practice points ending a claim costs appeals The guide also includes contact details for the court, information on forms and fees, and addresses for serving documents on government departments. ⦁ Court of Appeal reiterates effect of orders in the family courts on deportation decisions: <noindex>http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2017/1126.html</noindex> The Court of Appeal in GD (Ghana) [2017] EWCA Civ 1126 explained once again what effect residence orders granted by a Family Court have on immigration matters, and criticised both representatives in the First-Tier Tribunal for failing to put the relevant law to the Tribunal. The ‘residence order’ regime has now been replaced with ‘child arrangement orders’ by the Children and Families Act 2014, but this does not change the effect of family proceedings on immigration proceedings. Residence orders are made by a Family Court and determine with whom a child subject to the order will live, and will usually last until the child is 16 years of age. The ‘residence order’ regime has now been replaced with ‘child arrangement orders’ by the Children and Families Act 2014, but this does not change the effect of family proceedings on immigration proceedings. Residence orders are made by a Family Court and determine with whom a child subject to the order will live, and will usually last until the child is 16 years of age. A decision-maker considering deportation of a child subject to a residence order must discuss the case with a senior case worker and the Officers of Children’s Champion (OCC). Nonetheless, any deportation order lawfully made will override a residence order, so long as the residence order is considered in the decision.

This can be done directly or through a representative or sponsor.". If the error is on a biometric residence permit (BRP) the applicant must report the problem online : <noindex>https://www.gov.uk/biometric-residence-perm.../report-problem</noindex> If the error relates to a vignette endorsement the applicant should contact UKVI International Sheffield : (see E-mail in the doucument in the link, above). ⦁ Immigration Directorate Instruction Family Migration: Appendix FM Section 1.0a -Family Life (as a Partner or Parent): 5-Year Routes (10 August 2017) The guidance reiterates (at paragraph 13.1) the claim made in the explanatory memorandum to HC 290, that Appendix FM now provides a complete framework for Article 8 decision-making. It is understood that it may be helpful to continue asking in the cover letters that the leave is to be considered outside of the rules if the Secretary of State is not minded to grant leave within the rules, but be prepared to make all your Article 8 arguments within the framework of the rules. ⦁ Nationality: Registration of children of EEA Nationals, 3 August 2017 : <noindex>https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/...policy-guidance</noindex> The UK BA has clarified that the requirement to produce a document certifying Permanent Residence applies only to those applying to naturalise as British citizens, and so a child’s application can be submitted with the relevant supporting evidence to demonstrate that they (and where applicable, their parents) have acquired the Permanent Residence status (PR) by completing 5 years of residence in the UK in accordance with the EU Regulations.

Да, "подтянивется" из анкеты. Если подаете, например, из России, там можно выбрать из нескольких UK VAC. В то же время, в анкете можно указть другой адрес, поэтому возможна подача в другой стране. Хотя есть сомнения, т.к. анкета будет "подтягивать" данные из секции "адрес".

Сегодня. Звонок по телефону: Звонящая (З): Здравствуйте Антон (А): Здравствуйте З: Вы помогаете с несчастными случаями на производстве ? А: Нет, я занимаюсь только иммиграцией З: Странно. У меня записано, что занимаетесь А: Бывает...

Что могу сказать. Из опыта работы - UK BA не забирает паспорта обычно, если это их ошибка. Тем более если ребенок получает первый паспорт. Все детали никто знать не может - возможно, они "пошли навстречу", т.е. exercised discretion. Забирают паспорта за обман (т.к. "deception"), и то - у взрослых. Я об этом раньше писал.

Да, обсолютно верно. И эти мелочи повторяются регулярно, практически одни и те же. Зачастую кто-то что-то где-то услышал, увидел - не изучил матчасть на языке оригинала или не проконсультировался качественно - подал "а вдруг пройдет (или действительно верил(а), что все сделал(а) правильно)), получил(а) отказ и на форуме появляется очередной тред "отказали в визе, расскажите что я сделал(а) не так). Сегодня или завтра опишу вопиющий случай как после 5 лет проживания в UK жена одного украинца по довольно-таки наивной ошибке поехала жить на Украину (ее муж сам занимался ее делом), а он получил ПМЖ (я помогал). Понадеялся на себя. В итоге сейчас будет возвращать жену в UK.

09 August 2017 - Useful Immigration News from the Immigration Lawyers who can help - www.legalcentre.org - Ph: 0330 001 0342 or 07791145923 Delays in considering of the FLR(FP) applications by the UK BA According to the UK BA, they say "FLR(FP) applications are not presently subject to a service standard (NB 6 month max). This is due to their potential complexity, relying as they tend to on human rights claims. Therefore a timescale cannot be provided for this type of application.” In-country extensions of visitor visas It may be possible to extend one's visitor visa on the medical grounds, for up to 6 months Changes to nationality instructions, including chapter 18 Annex D good character (3 August 2017) : <noindex>https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/n...policy-guidance</noindex> Court of Appeal considers revocation of deportation order where deportee returns early in breach of the order : <noindex>http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2017/1069.html</noindex> In SSHD v SU [2017] EWCA Civ 1069 (20 July 2017) the Court of Appeal considered for the first time the unusual case of an individual who had been deported from the UK, returned in breach of the order, and then applied for its revocation having established a private and family life during the subsequent period of unlawful residence. The case clarifies the applicable rules in revocation cases and provides further evidence, if it were needed, of the complexity of the relevant rules, with two differently constituted tribunals failing to consider two key (albeit very recently instituted) provisions. One of the interesting side points is that it took the UK BA some TEN (10) YEARS to consider the appellant's initial immigration application ! How expensive are UK immigration applications : <noindex>https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/...s-revised-table</noindex> ? The cost of making an immigration or nationality application has risen extremely steeply in recent years. Annual increases of 20% or 25% per year are now standard, bringing the current cost of an application for Indefinite Leave to Remain in 2017 to £2,297. The actual cost of processing such an application is £252, so the Home Office is generating considerable income from each application. Fees were only introduced for in-country applications in 2003 and the increase only began in earnest in 2007, when for example a postal application for Indefinite Leave to Remain was increased from £335 to £775 and an application for naturalization as a British citizen from £200 to to £575.
