The purpose of the main change is to: "Enhance our capacity to treat as inadmissible to the UK asylum system asylum claims made by those who have passed through or have connections with a safe third country." It does this by changing the rules on inadmissibility in Part 11 of the Rules. The changes relate to: - The place of claim: new paragraph 327B sets out a definition for '[A] designated place of asylum claim'. - The third country inadmissibility rules: the new paragraphs concern safe third counties, including individuals coming from EU Member States. Claims will only be treated as inadmissible if the asylum applicant is accepted for readmission by the third country through which they have travelled or have a connection.

"Порадовал" Home Office (via ILPA), представив 7 (семь !) страниц ссылок на те или иные изменения во всевозможных иммиграционных инструкциях. На вскидку - сотни страниц информации. Будни иммиграционного адвоката, одним словом.

Пожалуйста. Я был рад помочь Вам.

Приветствую. There is no qualifying period for ILR with respect to children. If the mother applies for SET(M), then she may include her dependant children. Section D-LTRC: Decision on application for leave to remain as a child: "D-LTRC.1.1. If the applicant meets the requirements for leave to remain as a child the applicant will be granted leave to remain of a duration which will expire at the same time as the leave granted to the applicant’s parent, and will be subject to the same conditions in respect of recourse to public funds as that parent. To qualify for indefinite leave to remain as a child of a person with indefinite leave to remain as a partner or parent, the applicant must meet the requirements of paragraph 298 of these rules." See A277, A280(b), 298.

Приветствую, 1. Да. Но проверьте "validity" сертификата. 2. Нет.

Думаю нет, т.к. въезд будет не гражданина EU :-) И, как я понимаю, дата выдачи паспорта EU будет после 31-12-2020...?

Кто просит ? Ссылка на первоисточник, пожалуйста.

Приветствую. 1. Не критично. 2. Можно взять для подстраховки.

The new rules are of obvious interest to any concerned party and Diamond v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2020] EWHC 3313 (Admin) is an early example of the consequences of non-compliance. The new rules are contained in CPR Practice Directions 22 and 32. They impose several requirements on witness statements filed by non-English speakers: - The witness statement must be drafted in the witness’s own language rather than English (PD 32 Para 19.1(8)) - The statement of truth must be in the witness’s own language (PD 22 Para 2.4) - The party relying on the witness statement must file a certified English translation of the statement (PD 32 Para 23.2) Practice Direction 32 Para 18.1 also states that witness statements should be in the witness’s own intended words. The rules are intended to remove the risk of witnesses signing witness statements that do not reflect what they will actually say and without understanding the significance of the statement of truth.

The actual amounts are unchanged, though, and indeed application fees have mostly been frozen for the last two years. *But there is a catch: the Immigration Health Surcharge, a separate tax on immigration, has increased sharply. At the end of 2018, the health surcharge was £200 a year. A spouse applying for permission to remain in the UK would have paid £1,033 in processing fees for permission lasting two and a half years, plus £500 in health surcharge. The health surcharge doubled at the start of 2019 and rose further to £624 a year in October. So by the end of 2020, even with the headline fee staying the same, the total cost of that spouse application has jumped from £1,533 to £2,593 in just two years.

The judgment contains important guidance on the relationship between the Refugee Convention and international humanitarian law (IHL), as well as on the present situation in Ukraine. Both appeals are dismissed on asylum and human rights grounds. While the legal analysis is helpful in some places, overall the findings will make it difficult for Ukrainian conscientious objectors to succeed in claiming refugee status. PK and OS, who are both Ukrainian draft evaders, may apply for permission to appeal.

The Ministry of Justice is consulting on changes where appeals that have already been heard in both the First-tier and Upper Tribunals in England and Wales would need “reasons of exceptional public interest” to be heard at the next level up. It is also proposing tighter rules on appeals in judicial review cases. The government estimates that the two changes would cull around 600 cases a year from the Court of Appeal’s books. >>> County Court takes dim view of Fast Track detainee’s false imprisonment claim: https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/Misc/2020/27.html In Ali v Home Office EW Misc 27 (CC) [2020], the County Court robustly dismissed a false imprisonment claim brought by an Afghan refugee who was detained for 98 days under the Detained Fast Track process in 2015.

Кстати, Home Office может выслать Вам вот такой Email, когда подадите на BRC replace: "Good Morning, Thank you for the application to exchange your biometric residence card (BRC) issued under the EEA Regulations for a biometric residence card that reflects the leave you have been granted under the EU Settlement Scheme. Please note that a BRC issued under EEA Regulations provides you with an exemption from the requirement to obtain a visa to travel to another Member State of the European Union. A BRC issued under the EU Settlement Scheme does not, and if you choose to exchange your current BRC for a BRC issued under the EU Settlement Scheme, you will be required to apply for a Schengen visa to travel to another EU Member State. Please note you can rely upon their digital status to prove your right to stay, work or study in the United Kingdom. Can you please confirm that you are therefore content to proceed with your application? We are unable to proceed with the application until you have confirmed you are content to proceed. Thank you".

Да, это BRC обычно. Т.к. "сверху" у Вас был BRP.
