!!! It seems that the Home Office has now REMOVED the fast track (24-hour Super Priority Service) option when applying under certain family routes (like the UK Spouse application - switching into and extending (FLR(M), FLR(FP)) !!!

>>> New measures set out to reduce net migration: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-measures-set-out-to-reduce-net-migration?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=govuk-notifications-topic&utm_source=b2fdc991-4411-4f36-9562-c223ae1c8518&utm_content=daily

 

New measures to cut historically high levels of net migration have been announced today, bolstering the Home Secretary’s approach to tackle the root causes behind the UK’s long-term reliance on international recruitment.

Sectors most reliant on overseas workers will be targeted to ensure they are addressing their failure to invest in skills here in the UK.

The government will task the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) with monitoring and proactively highlighting key sectors where skills shortages have led to surges in overseas recruitment and provide a yearly assessment to ministers to inform policy decision making.

Rules around visa sponsorship of migrant workers will also be strengthened so that strong action can be taken against employers who flout employment laws, restricting their ability to hire workers from abroad. This is in addition to work already underway to clamp down on existing sponsor licence holders and to stop visa abuse, such as the ramping up of investigation visits by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI), and suspending and revoking licenses where employers abuse the immigration system and exploit migrant workers.

This follows plans already set out by the Home Secretary to link migration policy with skills and wider labour market policy, so that international recruitment is no longer the default choice for employers filling skills shortages, as well as the government’s confirmation that changes made by the previous administration to the immigration system will remain in place.

The new joined-up approach across government, set out by the Home Secretary in July, establishes a framework in which the newly formed Skills England, the Industrial Strategy Council, together with input from the Department for Work and Pensions, will work closely with the MAC so that migration is not used as an alternative to tackling training or skills shortages in the UK.

The MAC’s annual assessment will help industries respond swiftly to skills gaps and take necessary steps to reduce their dependency on migrant workers and invest in training, workforce plans, and higher quality jobs for workers here at home.

The expanded role for the MAC will be bolstered by additional capacity and includes work to assess the root causes of why certain sectors are so reliant on overseas workers. It has already been commissioned by the Home Secretary to look at IT and engineering - key sectors which have consistently relied on the international workforce, rather than sourcing the workers and skills they need here in the UK.

>>> European Court of Justice: Designation of a third country as a safe country of origin must cover its entire territory

See https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/en/TXT/?uri=CELEX:62022CJ0406 ( Case C-406/22 Ministerstvo vnitra České republiky, Odbor azylové a migrační politiky) 

The European Court of Justice has handed down a case reminding EU member states that they can only designate whole countries, not parts of countries, as safe:

“The Court of Justice specifies the conditions for the designation by a Member State of third countries as safe countries of origin under the directive on common procedures for international protection. It considers that the fact that a third country derogates from the obligations under the ECHR does not preclude it from being designated as such. The authorities of the Member States must, however, assess whether the conditions for implementing the right to derogate are capable of calling that designation into question. Furthermore, the Court holds that EU law precludes a Member State from designating a third country as a safe country of origin for only part of its territory. In addition, the national court called upon to verify the lawfulness of an administrative decision on international protection must raise of its own motion, as part of its full examination, a failure to take account of the rules of EU law relating to the designation of safe countries of origin.”

>>> If the application is refused in the UK, when the applicant must leave the UK as the latest ?

The answer in 2024 is “30 days”.

Namely:

A period of overstaying will be disregarded for the purpose of paragraph 9.8.4. (a) where the person left the UK voluntarily, not at the expense (directly or indirectly) of the Secretary of State, and:

• (a) the person overstayed for 90 days or less, where the overstaying began before 6 April 2017; or

• (b) the person overstayed for 30 days or less, where the overstaying began on or after 6 April 2017; or

• (c) paragraph 39E applied to the period of overstaying

Начали обращаться граждане Украины, кто живет в EU и кто имеет разрешение на проживание в EU и так же в Великобритании.

Тем кто живет в EU на границе сказали обратиться в местный (той или иной страны) иммиграционный офис. После такого обращения им было указано на недопустимость (например, Австрия в последнем случае) наличия двух параллельных разрешений в 2-х странах. Человека попросили прислать подтверждение о том, что его британская BRP и статус ФОРМАЛЬНО отменены. Иначе может не получить продление в стране проживания в EU.

Проблема в том, что Великобритания не отменяет BRP/Visa/статус по желанию, а только за преступления / нарушения визового режима.

Обратите внимание.

>>> Did you know that you could also take and pass the TB test in the UK rather then in your country ?

Say, you are a visitor in the UK and plan to lodge a Skilled Worker, UK Spouse visa etc immigration application, and you are from the country where you are required to take and pass the TB test.

Now you can take and pass the acceptable TB test in the UK, too.

During the recent conference, the Home Office informed that they may include Ukrainians, present in the UK under the Ukrainian Schemes, into the Domestic Violence Rules.

That is, if the marriage breaks down, the Ukrainians (NB Provided the Rules IS IMPLEMENTED), may be able to remain in the UK as victims of Domestic Violence.

Court of Appeal allows appeal on EU Settlement Scheme dependency rules.

Court of Appeal has said that a child, who is over 21 and has rights of residence based on dependency on their EU citizen parent, does not lose those rights if they start working and are no longer financially dependent on the parent. Essentially, dependency is determined at the date of application and once that has been established, the right to work takes precedence over the requirement for ongoing dependency. The case is R (Ali) versus Secretary of State for the Home Department [2024] EWCA Civ 1546. 

It is unclear how many people will be affected by this decision, but it will be good news for many. The Home Secretary is seeking permission to appeal to the Supreme Court, though.

Число американців, що просять громадянство Британії рекордно зросло

Американці мають багато індивідуальних причин для отримання британського паспорта. Проте серед усіх найбільше зіграла роль політична ситуація в США та податкові зміни.

У 2024 році зросла кількість громадян США, які подали заявки на отримання громадянства Великої Британії. Основними причинами зростання називають повернення Дональда Трампа до влади та зміни в податковому законодавстві Великої Британії. Про це у вівторок, 4 березня, пише Financial Times.

За 2024 рік заявки на отримання громадянства Великої Британії всього подала 251 000 громадян інших держав, серед них 6100 - американці.

"Це найбільший показник отриманих зі Штатів запитів за останні 20 років. Крім того, це на 26% більше, ніж у 2023-му. Особливо різке зростання відбулося в останньому кварталі 2024 року - частота подачі заявок зросла на 40% у порівнянні з таким самим періодом у 2023-му", - вказують у виданні. 

Адвокати з питань імміграції вважають, що серед основних причин міграції - бажання американців отримати альтернативний паспорт на тлі політичної нестабільності в США.

"Крім того, британська влада скасувала статус non-dom. Це змушує багатьох заможних американців шукати громадянство, щоб зберегти можливість залишитися в країні чи повернутися в майбутньому", - пояснює видання. 

Журналісти підкреслюють, що інтерес до громадянства Британії з боку американців набагато вищий, ніж за попередньої адміністрації Трампа.
