Re: Standard Visitor Visa issued too early

Correcting an incorrect endorsement: ECB19
If an applicant finds, before they’ve arrived in the UK, that their visa has been issued with an incorrect endorsement they must contact their visa application centre immediately to correct it.

Re: Court of Appeal has finally had it with the PBS

I think they failed to note how programmers simplify their programs by using subroutines or functions.

Examples of problems:
Muddle between validity and eligibility. IMHO, validity should be category independent.
PBS dependants and Long residence lead ILR holder.
Removed some routes.

Re: Dependant of ILR (long residence) applicant on PBS leave

Unfortunately, these changes have not (yet) reached the original PBS dependants rules in Part 8.

This may be another example of how “simplifying” the PBS dependant rules by proliferating them into the lead category’s Appendices may lead to more complexities and inconsistencies.

Re: Can I apply for a settled status now despite these discrepancies?

I’m surprised that they had excluded references to the EUSS family permit, when they had previously included EEA family permits in their Guidances.

I think you are right. I don’t think that curtailments amounts to a break of 276A. For the purposes of paragraphs 276B to 276D. (a) “continuous residence” means residence in the United Kingdom for an unbroken period, and for these purposes a period shall not be considered to have been broken where a...

Re: ILR application, made redundant 2 months prior to completing 5 years.

Unfortunately, no.

SW 24.2.
The sponsor must confirm that they still require the applicant to work for them for the foreseeable future, and that the applicant is paid, and will be paid for the foreseeable future, at least the salary in SW 24.3.
fails. Quickly find another sponsor and update.
