Just had a response to a complaint raised about the duration consumed by SSHD in making a decision,
What I don't understand is how it's related to 10 year FP route, where income isn't considered!
Quote: "As of Wednesday 22 February 2017, the Home Office had to pause decision making on some applications by non-EEA nationals. In particular, under Appendix FM to the Immigration Rules where the application would fall to be refused and where the reasons for refusal would include the applicant’s failure to meet the minimum income threshold for partners and dependent children and/or the associated evidential requirements under Appendix FM-SE.
The same goes for applications under Appendix Armed Forces or under paragraph 314(i)(a), 314(i)(d), 316A(i)(d) or 316A(i)(e) of Part 8 relating to an adopted child. A similar pause is in place in relation to other applications under Appendix FM which fall to be refused and a child is involved.
The reason for this pause is to enable the Home Office to consider the implications of a judgment handed down by the Supreme Court on 22 February 2017 in MM (Lebanon) & others v SSHD [2017] UKSC 10."
I'm not sure if the above is just BS or genuine, if the latter I cannot understand how it's related to the 10 year route!
