Change made - Guidance document updated. Addendum – Changes to appropriate rates (Appendix J) >>> Can I collect my biometric residence permit from a different Post Office branch to one in my decision letter? See https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/biometric-residence-permits-overseas-applicant-and-sponsor-information “Yes. If you, or a nominated third party authorised by the Home Office to collect your BRP on your behalf, wishes to collect your BRP from a different branch to the one in your decision letter, you or they should go to the Post Office branch from which you would like to collect the permit and speak to a Post Office employee. The Post Office will charge a fee for each and every permit you wish to re-direct between branches. Not all branches offer the collection service. Details of Post Office locations offering the service and their opening times can be found at their website. If you are part of a family group that has travelled to the UK together, a family member can arrange for all the biometric residence permits belonging to that family group to be re-directed to a new Post Office branch for collection. The family member requesting re-direction must present the travel documents (and vignettes) of everyone whose biometric residence permit they wish to re-direct. They will also need to present these when collecting the biometric residence permits.” >>> Senior judges despair of “Byzantine” immigration laws: https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2019/1310.html Always a worry (but never a surprise) when Court of Appeal judges start off a judgment by saying that the case “has a tortuous procedural history”, is “highly technical” and involves “Byzantine… provisions” of immigration law. Firdaws v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2019] EWCA Civ 1310 is the latest in a long line of cases where senior judges have deprecated the complexity and obscurity of the UK immigration system. The core issue was whether Mr Firdaws had a right of appeal against a refusal of a human rights claim made after his leave had expired. The Home Office’s position was that Mr Firdaws did not have a right of appeal before 6 April 2015 because the decision to refuse him was not an “immigration decision” under the old version of section 82(2)(d) of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002. Under the old version of section 82, a refusal to grant someone leave to remain when they were already here without leave was not a decision which could be appealed to the tribunal. This all changed when the Immigration Act 2014 came in. It allowed appeals against refusals of human rights claim regardless of whether the person was here lawfully or not. This change didn’t happen overnight, though. It came in phases through four commencement orders between July 2014 and April 2015. It was the wording of the third and fourth orders which caused the problems. Mr Firdaws argued that they omitted to restrict the right of appeal in his particular circumstances, relying on a close reading of the text of the interlocking statutory. The final paragraph of the judgment reflects the sad reality of how broken our immigration system has become and how desperately wholesale reform is needed: “I cannot conclude without commenting, not for the first time, on the extreme complexity and obscurity of drafting in the field of immigration law, as exemplified by these Commencement Orders. Such drafting as this serves to conceal rather than reveal meaning. It confuses even the expert legally qualified reader, never mind those affected by the provisions. In this instance, the drafting has produced a perverse result. Such an approach is firmly to be deprecated.”. It is embarrassing yet in some cases the practitioners have to regularly say to clients that there is no clear answer to their situation and they essentially need to take a gamble on something as important as their immigration status. To some extent, progress has been made with the Law Commission finally stepping in and producing a consultation paper on simplification of the Immigration Rules earlier this year. The stark reality, though, is that any reform is likely to take years. >>> British-Iranian solicitor Seema Kennedy made immigration minister: https://twitter.com/DannyShawBBC/status/1156514008918347776 Seema Kennedy is the new immigration minister at the Home Office, the BBC’s Danny Shaw reports. The MP for South Ribble, who had been a junior minister at the Department of Health, replaces the sacked Caroline Nokes.

Сейчас готовятся очередные изменения, будут т.н. Immigration (Regulations) 2019. А вот если Brexit не случится...будет просто цирк. Хотя и сейчас можно получить статус и по Regulations, и по UK immigration law. Например, клиенты из EU не спешат получать settled status по UK Immigration Law, т.к. тогда получается, что нужно автоматически ждать гражданства +12 месяцев. А если получить, например, Permanent Residence по Regulations 2016, обычно можно сразу подать на гражданство, без дополнительного ожидания +12 месяцев.

Пожалуйста. Был рад Вам помочь. Спасибо за теплые слова. Я был рад помочь Вам. Старую BRP нужно отправлять в Home Office. Вы должны так же получить решение по...почте, где будет сказано, на первой странице, куда отправлять старую BRP.

You may not need to show your maintenance in CERTAIN circumstances This is the extract from the PBS Dependents Policy Guidance: Para 83 If you apply separately from the main applicant you will need to have the necessary funds to meet the maintenance requirement or have a written undertaking from an A-rated Sponsor, unless the main applicant already had leave in a Tier 2 category and when applying for their most recent period of Tier 2 leave was not required to show evidence of satisfying maintenance requirements. In other words, as an example, if the main applicant was a Tier 2 migrant and extended their leave in Tier 2 then they would not need the employer to certify maintenance as they would not need to evidence maintenance in any event. And in those circumstances neither does the dependent. >>> Refugee status can be taken away even if threat of persecution still looms: https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2019/1345.html In Secretary of State for the Home Department v MS (Somalia) [2019] EWCA Civ 1345, the Court of Appeal has held that the Home Office can cease refugee status where there has been a change of circumstances in the refugee’s country of origin such that it is possible for them to internally relocate to avoid persecution. >>> Immigration detainees must be given the “true reason” for their detention: https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Admin/2019/2070.html A real mammoth of a case: R (HS) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2019] EWHC 2070 (Admin). The claimant took what looks like a kitchen sink approach to his unlawful detention claim, succeeding on the fourth ground: that he wasn’t given the “true reason” for his arrest and detention. The problem was that officials did not inform him that this was the reason behind his re-detention, instead merely ticking several boxes on the IS.91R form to indicate generic reasons such as “character, conduct or associations”. According to Home Office detention guidance, officials must prepare a “properly evidenced and fully justified explanation” of the reasons to detain, for internal use. It seems a little unfair to give detainees only the barest of facts when a proper explanation is on file anyway.

30 July 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 >>> English language ability and financial independence no help in human rights appeals: https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2018/3069.html SC (Bangladesh) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2018] EWCA Civ 3069. The issue was whether the public interest considerations in sections 117B(2) and (3) of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 (as amended) can be treated as positive factors. When someone without a visa is applying to stay in the UK because of family or personal ties, judges are told by law to hold it against them if they don’t speak English and aren’t financially independent. For a while there was an argument about whether that test was only negative: if a person has perfect English and loads of money, did that actively count in their favour? That was settled by the Supreme Court in Rhuppiah [2018] UKSC 58. Where a person is financially independent and can speak English, these do not become presumptions in their favour — they just don’t have marks deducted, as it were. In SC (Bangladesh), the Court of Appeal basically just confirms this: “it is now established that section 117B(2) and (3) do not require the Tribunal to take into account fluency in English and financial independence as factors in Article 8 appellant’s favour”. That is it ©

27 July 2019 Helpful and just interesting updates on the UK and EEA immigration law from the Legal Centre, who can help you with any immigration issue. www.legalcentre.org Mob/WhatsApp/Viber: +44(0)7791145923, Office: +44(0)3300010342 >>> Attracting the “brightest and the best”: the UK’s record on visas for academics and researchers This autumn will see a decided shift in immigration policy toward being more welcoming to non-EU academics, scientists and researchers; a group commonly defined by the somewhat worn-out phrase, “the brightest and the best”, first coined by David Cameron in October 2011. The upcoming rule changes will see the removal of PhD level jobs (as defined by the PhD level SOC Codes in Appendix J) from the Tier 2 visa quota. There will also be a new exemption within the settlement rules on excessive absences from the UK, where the person’s absences are due to “overseas research activity”. Specific visa routes for academia The academic and research sector is fortunate to have access to specific visa routes. The flagship Tier 1 (Exceptional Talent) route was created in 2011 and continuously reformed due to low initial uptake. Significantly, changes in January 2018 provided automatic endorsements for non-EU citizens appointed to senior positions at a UK university or research institute. As these led to, essentially, a guaranteed Exceptional Talent visa, this was a clear recognition of the value of these roles to the UK. Another visa route designed specifically for the academic and research community is the Tier 5 (Government Authorised Exchange) route, through which universities and research institutes can sponsor academics and researchers to undertake short-term collaborations. In July 2018, the route was reformed and expanded: these institutions can now host any type of short-term engagement with a non-EU academic or researcher in a manner that other employment sectors would struggle to accommodate. Carve-outs for universities within immigration routes In parallel with these specific visa routes, there are a number of carve-outs and exceptions within the other visa routes which facilitate highly skilled researchers. The Tier 2 route contains a number of exceptions for PhD level roles, including: • the ability to recruit the best person for the job regardless of nationality • a Resident Labour Market Test waiver for ‘supernumerary researchers’ • rules allowing Tier 4 students an easier transition into work (under the deliciously byzantine paragraph 245ZY(c)(iii)(7) of Part 6B of the Rules) • greater weighting for PhD level roles within the Tier 2 quota • an exemption from the ILR minimum salary rate, amongst other benefits. The Migration Advisory Committee’s recent recommendations on the Shortage Occupation List, signed off by the Home Office this week, mean that all biological scientist and biochemist roles (SOC Code 2112), and archaeologists under Code 2114 now get priority within Tier 2. The visitor visa route also contains carve-outs, namely to allow highly skilled individuals to visit and gather information and facts, or share knowledge/advise on an international project that is being led from the UK. Academics can use the route to carry out research for their own purposes, and senior doctors or dentists can take part in research, teaching or clinical practice. The permitted paid engagement visitor route facilitates one-month paid engagements of academics to examine students and/or to deliver a series of lectures. Visa problems for the best and brightest Cost remains a significant burden. A recent report by The Royal Society highlights that the current UK visa arrangements are amongst the most expensive in the world. Therefore, the immigration experts like the Legal Centre (www.legalcentre.org) can certainly help, and it is worth considering an initial confidential online consultation with the Legal Centre, which can be booked 24/7 via https://legalcentre.org/Initial-Consultation.html The cost of visas for skilled workers and students coming to the UK, compared with the visa systems of other leading science nations, is a whopping 540% higher. The Royal Society calls for a reduction in visa costs to fall in line with the average. Administration of the current Tier 2 system is also a sizable burden for the sector. A recent report by EY, commissioned by the Russell Group, established that the 24 Russell Group universities currently spend around £25 million a year on immigration processes and compliance to recruit and support non-EU staff and students, with an estimated increase of 36% to £34m by 2022. These costs would reach dizzying heights were they to be extrapolated across all employers within the research sector. The white paper’s ambition to reduce sponsorship burden under any new system will certainly be welcomed. Visa refusals are also an issue, most recently concerning visit visas. There have been several high profile cases of visiting academics and researchers being refused visas, with questions also raised in Parliament. There is ongoing lobbying on this issue from the research sector. Better brain circulation To what extent will the proposed autumn rule changes impact on the UK’s attractiveness for the “brightest and the best”? Significantly, in my view. Firstly, the removal of PhD level roles from the Tier 2 quota, whilst partly symbolic given that no PhD level roles have ever been refused under the cap due to preferential points-weighting, will reduce recruitment time frames on the ground, circumventing the need for monthly pre-approval. This does, unequivocally, send a global message that the UK is committed to supporting the easy movement of highly skilled individuals. Secondly, the planned exemption for PhD level roles within the absence rules for settlement is very welcome. It is an issue that the sector has lobbied on for years, due to previous high profile settlement refusals for academics and scientists who breached the absence requirements. Whilst refusals are not common, the rules mean highly skilled individuals having to choose which overseas collaborations they can attend and which they cannot for risk of breaching the absence rules.

The Government is happy to accept all of the MAC’s recommendations on the composition of the SOL and the necessary amendments will be made in the Autumn Immigration Rules changes. The MAC also suggested that, in order to combat the particular challenges faced by some remote communities, the Government should pilot a scheme that facilitated migration to these areas.
