May my application be refused if I return Home to get married and lodge an application as a spouse of a British citizen ? The answer is "May be" as the Home Office changed the relevant Rules some time ago, removing the "immunity" for the spouse of the British citizens who remained in the UK illegally in the past. See https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration-rules/immigration-rules-part-9-grounds-for-refusal#previous-breach-of-immigration-laws-grounds Namely: " Para 9.8.2. An application for entry clearance or permission to enter may be refused where: (a) the applicant has previously breached immigration laws; and (b) the application was made outside the relevant time period in paragraph 9.8.7; and (c) the applicant has previously contrived in a significant way to frustrate the intention of the rules, or there are other aggravating circumstances (in addition to the immigration breach), such as a failure to cooperate with the documentation process, such as using a false identity, or a failure to comply with enforcement processes, such as failing to report, or absconding. >>> I am a student in the UK. Can I work remitely for the Emplyer OUTSIDE THE UK ? The answer is "No": https://www.ukcisa.org.uk/blog/6257/A-working-definition If you personally are physically outside the UK, any conditions of a UK visa you hold are irrelevant, including the work conditions. The UK government has no jurisdiction over and no interest in your work activites when you are not even in the UK. You will of course need check what are your work rights in the specific country where you are working. However, any work you do when you are physically in the UK, for example working for a non-UK employer remotely or doing a “virtual internship” with them, counts towards your weekly 10 or 20 hour maximum. This is because the Student work restriction has no specific exception for work undertaken for an employer who is outside the UK. >>> Upper Tribunal confirms undocumented extended family members cannot benefit from EU Settled Status scheme: https://tribunalsdecisions.service.gov.uk/utiac/2022-ukut-00219 Extended family members who have made an application under the EU Settlement Scheme, without having first obtained a residence document under the Immigration (EEA) Regulations 2016 are NOT entitled to settled or pre-settled status. This is the conclusion of the Upper Tribunal in Batool and others (other family members: EU exit) [2022] UKUT 00219 (IAC). The Tribunal also decided that appellants cannot rely on their human rights in EU Settled Status appeals, unless the Home Office consents to this. This aspect of the decision will be considered in a separate blog post, coming soon. >>> Local authority’s challenge against accommodating unaccompanied asylum seeking children fails In R (Medway Council) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2023] EWHC 77 (Admin), a local authority challenged the Home Office’s decision to force them to comply with the National Transfer Scheme (NTS), set up to spread the responsibility of accommodating unaccompanied asylum-seeking children between local authorities. The NTS followed on the back of their being disproportionately higher numbers of asylum-seekers arriving in Kent (through the port of Dover) and in the London Borough of Hillingdon (through Heathrow Airport). The aim was to ensure an equitable distribution of asylum seekers and to spread the load to other local authorities. Knowing that local authorities might protest at this idea, the Home Office had powers to compel local authorities to comply so long as it would not “unduly prejudice” them, under section 72(4) of the Immigration Act 2016. Medway Council argued that their children’s services had been ranked by OFSTED as ‘inadequate’ and their ‘in-area’ accommodation for looked-after children was at capacity. The Court accepted that unilaterally being forced to house asylum-seekers meant some prejudice was inevitable for local authorities, but the question was whether the prejudice was “undue”. A local authority would only be exempt from participating in the NTS in “circumstances of crisis amounting to a complete breakdown”. This is an eminently sensible decision by the High Court, who noted that Medway’s unaccompanied asylum-seeking children population was significantly lower than the regional average, and it had not participated in the voluntary NTS at any time. Budgetary constraints and lack of resources seem to be universal excuses across local authorities, but they cannot trump the more important duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of children, some of whom will have had harrowing experiences which brought them to the UK.

Update: "On 23 February 2023, the Home Office launched a new streamlined asylum processing model, to accelerate the process for certain cohorts of asylum-seekers by allowing decision-makers to grant asylum without conducting an interview. Streamlining will apply only to ‘legacy’ (pre-28 June 2022) claims. In other words, only for individuals who claimed asylum before the Nationality and Borders Act 2022 came into force. The new streamlining process will concentrate on individuals from Afghanistan, Eritrea, Libya, Syria, and Yemen. These countries have been identified due to their high-grant rates of protection status (over 95%) as a result of the current security and humanitarian situations there. Guidance for Home Office staff notes that this threshold, along with the countries included, is subject to change and will be regularly reviewed."

The answer is "No": https://freemovement.org.uk/fee-waiver-policy-who-qualifies-and-what-does-the-home-office-policy-say/ "Importantly, applications for indefinite leave to remain, even if based on a human rights claim, are not covered.

See https://kinleylegal.com/immigration/bno-visa/ If you intend to live in the UK, you should apply for the UK BN(O) Visa rather than in the Isle of Man. However, if you are granted an Isle of Man BN(O) Visa and at some point after arrival decide to move to the UK instead, we do not expect that you will have to re-apply for the UK BN(O) Visa. Provided that you comply with the conditions of the visa, you can visit the UK without restriction on an Isle of Man BN(O) Visa, including having a second home there.

Major changed in the UK Asylum application process 24 February 2023 – 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)7791145923 (WhatsApp/Viber) >>> The Home Office is introducing a ‘streamlined asylum process": https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/pm-statement-on-illegal-migration-13-december-2022 The Home Office intends to: · Simplifying policy guidance; · Removing the requirement for substantive interviews where appropriate, for example where a decisions can be taken on the information available; and · Create an operation where decision-makers are specialists in nationalities or certain case-types. For adults and family claims, one of the ways in which we will achieve these aims is by introducing a streamlined asylum process; this process will seek to more efficiently conclude manifestly well-founded claims. This will involve removing the requirement to have substantive asylum interviews where we have sufficient information to decide their claim. We assess that this is most likely to be the case across high-grant nationalities. Consequently, we plan to rollout this process for legacy claimants who are confirmed nationals of Afghanistan, Eritrea, Libya, Syria and Yemen. This cohort will be kept under close review and we will continue to assess claims on a case-by-case basis, meaning that claims from other nationalities may proceed without a personal interview where appropriate. To aid this process, for adult and family claims we will be issuing an asylum claim questionnaire to claimants who have not yet been substantively interviewed and are one of the aforementioned nationalities. The intention of these questionnaires is to enable claimants to provide any further information about their claims which, in turn, could lead to a positive decision being taken without a substantive interview. Please note asylum claims will not be refused without a personal interview unless one of the exceptions in paragraph 339NA of the Immigration Rules applies. Should claimants approach you for assistance, we would be very grateful if you can continue the work you do with asylum seekers in the UK by supporting them with this questionnaire. 20-working days will be provided for claimants to return this questionnaire. A reminder will be sent thereafter should the questionnaire not be returned. Extensions can be requested where required. A failure to return the questionnaire without reasonable explanation may result in an individual’s asylum claim being withdrawn in line with the published policy on withdrawing asylum claims: Withdrawing asylum applications: caseworker guidance - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk). Whilst we will begin to dispatch the asylum claim questionnaire to nationals of Afghanistan, Eritrea, Libya, Syria and Yemen, we may extend the use of the questionnaire as a means to gather additional information from other claimants awaiting an asylum decision in due course. We will provide further details on this in due course. Where further information is required after the questionnaire is returned, we will, where possible, conduct a targeted or shorter interview to obtain the necessary information from the claimant as quickly as possible. Targeted interviews will concentrate on the claimant’s nationality and will last for around 1-hour whilst shorter interviews will concentrate on a small number of material facts and will last for around 2-hours. There may be occasions where claimants will need to be referred for a substantive interview as is current practice, for example where there are criminality or security concerns. At least in the first instance, this approach will only apply to legacy claims. We will seek to translate the principles of this process – where they operate successfully – into flow caseworking for asylum claims made on or after 28 June 2022 in due course. [...] Yesterday, the Home Office published new Guidance on ‘Streamlined asylum processing". The section on ‘Asylum Questionnaire’ includes (but is not limited to) the following (emphasis added): ‘You must provide claimants with a minimum of 20 working days from the date of service of the questionnaire to return the asylum questionnaire. Should the claimant not respond within this time period, you must send a reminder and provide the claimant with a further 10 working days to return the asylum questionnaire unless a decision can be made at that point, for example because a substantive interview has taken place during this period or further evidence has been provided by the claimant separately. Where a claimant requests an extension of the deadline in order to respond to the questionnaire, you must consider the request for an extension on a case-by-case basis. It will normally be appropriate to accept such requests as long as the requested extension is proportionate for the task of completing the asylum questionnaire. If the request is reasonable and proportionate to the reasons for the request, you must confirm that an extension has been granted. If the request is not reasonable and proportionate, you must confirm that the claim may be withdrawn if it is not returned within the timescale provided. Extension requests for durations of greater than 20 working days are unlikely to be reasonable and proportionate unless exceptional circumstances are presented. [...] Should the claimant not return the Asylum Questionnaire in the time period provided, the asylum claim may be treated as withdrawn under Paragraph 333C of the Immigration Rules. You should refer such claims to the relevant team to consider whether withdrawal of the asylum claim is appropriate. For further information, please see the Asylum Policy Instruction on Withdrawing asylum claims.’ However, please note that the questionnaire which we understand is being sent to asylum claimants whose claim is subject to this new 'streamlined asylum process' states (inter alia): ‘Enclosed is an Asylum Claim Questionnaire. Please complete and return this within 20 working days to: ------ or via post to the address on the top of this letter. Working days do not include weekends or bank holidays. If you cannot return the questionnaire within 20 working days of the date of this letter, you can contact us at ---- to request an extension. If you need advice on obtaining a legal representative, please refer to: https://www.gov.uk/find-an-immigration-adviser. If you do not complete and return your Asylum Claim Questionnaire within the time provided or request an extension, we may consider your asylum claim to be withdrawn under paragraph 333C of the Immigration Rules and discontinue consideration of your claim.’
