If it was that easy to get an EU passport for £500 then the EU (UK) would have been flooded with loads of illegal immigrants making it difficult even to walk on the road..
the HO shows the tame face to the illegal immigrants and shows the tough face to legal immigrants. what a government. It' simple, the illegal immigrants can't take up any highly paid jobs and the locals don't want to do cheap labour... and in the end the illegals have to survive somehow... so... Il...
I think that Clarke (who is now irrelevant) & Mc Nulty have initiated the change to show that they and the Labour party were "tough" on immigration. As they could not really deal with the real problems of illegal migration they have chosen an easy target - the hard working legal migrants. This Chang...
Companies (esp. smaller ones) are not familiar with the nuances between Work Permits, HSMP, Working Holiday etc. For them migrants mean just headache and trouble.
The funny thing is that McNulty who is an MP for Harrow East could not have been elected to parliament without the active support of the Indian population (many of whom are affected by the change of rules) in his constituency.
The Home Office is still fighting the war of yesterday. Asylum seeking is passe. This is why the number of asylum seekers has declined to a negligible trickle. Today illegal migration is based on: 1. Illegal migrants board speed boats and arrive late at night in UK disused seaports and beaches when ...
if you remember the key issue in the last general election was immigration and you can't really compare the votes of a few thousand immigrants with the votes of the citizens of this country... Do you think the citizens of this country will support WP / HSMP candidates who according to them are a th...
Sooner or later all the people affected by this change will gain the right to vote in this country. I guess all the hundreds of thousands of people affected will remember which political party was behind the change when they cast their votes. I really don't understand why the Labour party is so will...
Chess, I mentioned Africa in the example because the situation there is the worst in terms of humanitarian need. In Argentina HIV is quite rare but in some parts of Africa it's quite common and the effect on local population is horrendous. This poor guy does not need to convince me I would grant him...
RobF, I would also discuss with her the little discussed issue of extending the qualifying period for naturalisation. Under British Nationality Act the qualifying period for naturalisation was 5 years (inc. one year at ILR status). To change an Act of Parliament one needs to introduce a bill which n...
With respect I beg to differ - several tribunal rulings indicate that where Article 3, HRA threshold in so far as 'degrading/inhuman treatment' to include that as a result of inadequate medical care back home, ILR can be granted. If that was indeed the case all HIV patients in Africa would have the...
The concession is in a letter from the Home Office to JCWI referred to in R v Secretary of State for the Home Department, ex p Patel [1993] Imm AR 257, QBD and 392, CA.
I had an interesting conversation today with a leading immigration lawyer. I asked him to explain the real reason behind the recent change. According to him the real reason has nothing to do with the official reason - adopting European norms. The UK has persistently chosen to opt out of the European...

What counts is the day when your Leave to Remain changed to WP employment.
