A tempting solution for many of us to deal with our problems would be to box them up and hide them away. Whilst only a reckless few would dare take such a course of action for fear of the inevitable repercussions, this has been precisely the UKBA’s recent approach to addressing part of its backlog of unresolved cases. Early in November, perhaps whilst searching for last year’s boxed Christmas decorations, a considerable number of unopened letters relating to unresolved cases were stumbled... Read more »

Blue, yellow or purple? From December 2013 Bulgarians, Romanians and their employers will no longer have to worry about the work cards they are on and the ensuing restrictions.

It has been widely reported in the press that a growing number of ex-members of HM Forces who are foreign nationals are being refused British citizenship or indefinite leave to remain based on convictions imposed under military law whilst serving in our armed forces. These convictions are often for very minor military offences. For immigration purposes, a military summary punishment counts the same as a criminal conviction in a civilian court, which is then highly likely to disqualify... Read more »

It was announced by the UK Border Agency in July 2012 that following a 'successful pilot' carried out last year, a targeted interview system for students was being introduced, which would concentrate on high-risk applicants . If you are a student, you may be interviewed and asked a number of questions about your immigration and education history, study and post-study plans, and financial circumstances. The UKBA expects to interview up to 14,000 students in the next 12 months.... Read more »
