Right to work

[Yahweed]

Hi all,

My brother has received this Leave to Remain, under 276ADE(1). He applied under '18 years and over and has remained in the Uk for under 20 years and there would be significant obstacles', and they allowed the appeal under private life. The appeal showed that there would be significant obstacles if he were to go back to his home country, regarding the financial support our mother can provide, the limited accommodation, and the fact that he hasn't lived in that country for a very long time.
He has a sponsor, my mother. On the BRP, it says he is allowed to work and in the letter provided, it says it's a route to settlement if he remains in this country for a further 10 years.

My question is this - our solicitor said that if he works full-time, it would harm his next application, and now im not sure what to do. Will he be able to work full time (considering in the BRP it says he's allowed to work and have a business) and if he does, will it harm his next application?

A bit of a backstory, me, my brother and mother have been in the UK for 13 years.

Thank you all.

Get rid of this solicitor ASAP.

I had the same reaction as I researched more into this and I thought it's BS, but thank you for confirming. I have a follow up question, if you please don't mind (thanking you early on:) ).

Because the appeal was given to my brother at a Tier 1 Tribunal judge, when he applies to extend his LTR on the same basis as of private life vi as I mentioned above, could they reject it? Because in my logic, significant obstacles don't really change after 2.5 years - those obstacles remain. What are the likelihood that home office would reject the extension of this Leave To Remain?

i had a follow up question. I just wanted to clarify a few things after i spoke to my solicitor again today.

In the letter, it said the following: Your private life has been allowed on the basis of private life under Appendix FM of immigration rules. I am writing to inform you that you have been granted a period of 30 months leave to remain under paragraph 276BE of the immigration rules as we are satisfied that you meet the requirements for paragraphs 276ADE(1) of these rules.

i guess the solicitor pointed out the fact that the visa was given under appendix fm, and it means that he can't lead an independant life, threfore he stated if he were to work full time, it would compromise his visa the next time he were to extend the visa. does this therefore fully mean he cant work full-time for the next 10 years?

[vinny]

“must not be leading an independent life” or “is not leading an independent life” means that the applicant does not have a partner as defined in Appendix FM; is living with their parents (except where they are at boarding school, college or university as part of their full-time education); is not employed full-time (unless aged 18 years or over); is wholly or mainly dependent upon their parents for financial support (unless aged 18 years or over); and is wholly or mainly dependent upon their parents for emotional support. Where a relative other than a parent may act as the sponsor of the applicant, references in this definition to “parents” shall be read as applying to that other relative.

[Yahweed]

Since he is then over 18 and if he was to work full-time, that would breach Appendix FM?

[vinny]

Note the word “unless” above.

Note the word “unless” above.

Ok so he CAN work full-time then, thanks for clarifying. Since he is dependant on my mother, does that also mean that him working full time will not break the 'is wholly or mainly dependent upon their parents for financial support (unless aged 18 years or over)' part of the interpretation of not leading an independent life?
