What is a voluntary return ?

But it looks like your application should have been withdrawn and they made a mistake issuing you the BRP. So I think your lawyer's advice makes sense.

[Moonaliza]

Voluntary return is your decision to return voluntary at your own cost when you receive a removal notice (HO refusal letter).

In this case where I am not the main applicant who applied for the judicial review and I never signed any disclaimer to withdraw any JR according to the paragraph below, why should I apply for an entry clearance?

Withdrawing an application for judicial review
In some cases, a person with an outstanding JR application may ask to leave the UK. Where a person wishes to make a voluntary departure, you must ask them to sign a disclaimer (form IS.101). The person (or their legal representative) must also contact the courts to withdraw their JR application so that the court file is closed.This must be done before the person leaves the UK so that a Notice of discontinuance can be filed. See also assisted voluntary returns.

Do you think the HO can knowingly issue me with a BRP which is void?

What do you think is the best action to take going forward?

Dear Marc

I am writing to let you know that I contacted the Home Office via my local MP to confirm if I could enter to the UK after my voluntary return.

They confirm that I could, as long as I have the biometric card. So, I joined my family two weeks ago. Thanks for valuable advice.

I think that could be correct. HO seems to have made some mistake - as per the JR extract you posted, they should have got a proper disclaimer from you.

But, it is not your problem if they made the mistake.

So congratulations on the outcome.
