Сегодня в Legal Centre несколько клиентов получили визы по семейным категориям. Это были заявления по категориям FLR(M) и SET(M).

23 April 2021 – 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) >>> Home Office can make exceptions to rules stopping asylum seekers working: https://www.bailii.org/uk/cases/UKUT/IAC/2021/94.html (Asylum seekers can normally work only in shortage occupations) The Upper Tribunal has declared the government’s strict policy on asylum seekers working to be unlawful because it doesn’t mention that exceptions can be made. The case is R (C6) v Secretary of State for the Home Department (asylum seekers’ permission to work) [2021] UKUT 94 (IAC). It has now been officially reported by the tribunal. The official headnote reads: "Insofar as the Secretary of State’s policy Permission to work and volunteering for asylum seekers, version 8.0, 29 May 2019, admits no exceptions, it has not been justified and so is unlawful." The judgment follows a very similar decision by the High Court in December. Despite these two rulings, the permission to work policy has still not been amended. In fact, a further challenge to it is now in the works.

Отличные новости, поздравляю. Сегодня несколько подобных решений так же получили для клиентов (FLRM, SETM): Сейчас приходят решения по декабрьским (2020) - январским (2021) заявлениям. Что интересно, заявления, поданные с февраля 2021 рассматривают буквально за пару-тройку недель (non-priority).

Как выглядит, например, стандартный Email из Home Office с решением по делу того или иного клиента. В данном случае это решение о присвоении британского гражданства клиенту с Украины:

Пожалуйста. Я был рад помочь Вам.

"Классика среды" Вот так выглядит заявление о том, что заявление клиента с Украины на гражданство было одобрено. Решение, как всегда, приходит по Email.

Добрый день, Да, можно.

Вот так выглядит уведомление из Home Office что клиент сегодня или завтра получил новую BRP карточку. В этом случае новая BRP клиента была доставлена буквально через несколько часов. Заявление FLR(M) - продление супружеской визы.

The court has decided that the absence of a Rule 35 procedure for identifying vulnerable immigration detainees in prisons is irrational. Although the court held back from making a broader finding that this was systemically unfair, the Home Office and Ministry of Justice will surely have to provide something similar to Rule 35 in prisons in order to avoid further claims of this nature. The judgment confirms that the Home Office is already taking steps to amend the legal framework.

Home Office теперь высылает приглашения на церемонии по получению британского гражданства по Email. Получено на этих выходных; заявление на гражданство клиентки из России:

Классика недели: продление "супружеской визы" по категории Appendix FM Partner, заявление FLR(M).

Пожалуйста. Я был рад помочь Вам.

Постоянно сталкиваюсь с этой ситуацией. Нужен диалог. Могу проконсультировать здесь: https://legalcentre.org/Konsultacija-s-Advokatom.html

Иногда приходится помогать (бывшим) клиентам уже даже после того, как было получено британское гражданство.

12 April 2021 – 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) >>> ATAS requirement - Skilled Worker route Some applicants applying for entry clearance or permission to stay from 21 May 2021 will need to obtain an Academic Approval Technology Scheme (ATAS) certificate from the Counter-Proliferation and Arms Control Centre of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office before they make their application. This is known as the ‘ATAS requirement’. The ATAS requirement applies where the worker is not an exempt national and will be working in a job in a relevant occupation code which includes an element of research at PhD level or above in certain sensitive subject areas whose knowledge could be used in programmes to develop Advanced Conventional Military Technology (ACMT), weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) or their means of delivery. >>> Sponsor licence inspection visits back on UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) has confirmed that with lockdown easing, it is resuming sponsor licence compliance visits. Initial visits will be focused on organisations that have a pending sponsor licence application. >>> Late applications to the EU Settlement Scheme From 1 July 2021, EU, EEA and Swiss citizens living in the UK without having applied for pre-settled or settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme will be here unlawfully. The Home Secretary confirmed a few months ago that people can apply after that deadline, but they must have “reasonable grounds to apply late”. Clarity on what grounds might be considered reasonable was lacking until 1 April 2021, when the Home Office released guidance on how it will deal with late applications: pages 26 to page 44 of the main caseworker guidance. Since the Home Office also requires those with pre-settled status to make a further application in order to upgrade to settled status, this guidance also applies to those who fail to upgrade before their pre-settled status expires. It also applies to family members joining an EU citizen sponsor via the family permit route, and to a few other scenarios. That said, there is still time to apply for a Pre-Settled, Settled status AND change (non-EEA migrants) an "old style" Biometric Residence Card (BRC).

Просто приятно - хорошее начало недели :smile:

Виза чтобы остаться в UK для помощи родственнику ? Есть такая возможность. Итак: >>> Leave outside the Rules – three-month concession for carers: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/chapter-17-section-2-carers This is a little-known provision designed to allow applicants to be granted a short grant of leave to remain (ordinarily, three months) to provide urgent care to a settled or British relative and, most importantly, to make arrangements for their long-term care. The guidance says that the following points are relevant to applications on this basis: - the type of illness/condition (this should be supported by a Consultant’s letter); and - the type of care required; and - care which is available (e.g. from the Social Services or other relatives/friends); and - the long-term prognosis. The guidance also states that although applications for leave in order to care for a sick or disabled friend should normally be refused, “in an emergency (e.g. where the patient has suddenly fallen ill and there is insufficient time to arrange permanent care or where there is nobody else in the United Kingdom to whom the patient can turn) it may be appropriate to grant leave”. An applicant’s prospects of success depend largely on the severity of their relative’s condition, the urgency of their care needs and the quality of the supporting evidence. A grant of leave is more likely, for example, in cases where the relative is terminally ill and requires help with everyday tasks than in cases where the illness is less severe and the care required is emotional support rather than practical assistance. Contrary to the guidance, which is out of date, a refusal of this application only carries a right of appeal if the First-tier Tribunal accepts jurisdiction to hear the appeal. That is only possible where it is satisfied that there has been a refusal of a human rights application, so it may be helpful to raise Article 8 (and Article 3, where relevant) grounds in the application. Although this is not stated by the guidance, the appropriate form in this case would be FLR(HRO), if making the application in the UK. If making the application outside the UK, the relevant form is the visit visa form.
