Can children and parents apply to stay beyond seven years?

 From the perspective of a child, seven years in the UK can feel like an eternity. It may be the totality of the child's experiences , and the UK could be the only home they've ever known in any meaningful way. Furthermore, children are not allowed to make their own decisions regarding shifting homes or nations. To put it another way, while adults make educated decisions about where to live, children must deal with the consequences of others' decisions. The Immigration Rules provide that a kid may be granted permission to stay based on their Article 8 right to a private life if the following conditions are met: They are under the age of 18. They have been in the UK for at least seven years (discounting any periods of imprisonment) It would be unreasonable to expect them to leave the UK. Where the parents have no separate right to remain in the UK under the Immigration Rules — which is practically all of these seven-year cases — the Home Office almost invariably concludes th...

Can an immigration decision be postponed while a criminal investigation is ongoing?

 The Court of Appeal considered this issue in R (X and others) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2021] EWCA Civ 1480. The court determined, with certain limitations, that the answer is "yes." Objection to a five-year postponement pending a fraud inquiry In April 2017, a family applied to extend their licence via the Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) method. HM Revenue and Customs initiated a criminal investigation against the principal applicant, Mr X, shortly before they lodged the applications. He and 12 others were accused of being involved in a tax evasion scheme. Mr. X was arrested but not prosecuted, and he was released on bond while the inquiry was ongoing in 2016. It was especially complicated, with HMRC seizing over 800 pieces of evidence and getting information on over 100 bank accounts. Litigation regarding the legitimacy of the search warrants used to gather most of the material added to the delays. The investigation was still underway at the time of the Court of...

Confirmed: The Home Office has the authority to disregard human rights complaints.

 The long-awaited decision in MY (Pakistan) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2021] EWCA Civ 1500 has been issued by the Court of Appeal. Unfortunately, it confirms that the Home Office has the authority to refuse to deal with a human rights application for permission to remain in the UK that is not filed using the prescribed form or process. As a result, the applicant has no right of appeal. Background information about human rights and appeals MY requested indefinite leave to remain as a victim of domestic violence. The Home Office does not regard such applications to be human rights claims in and of themselves. If a human rights claim is denied, the applicant has the opportunity to appeal; other immigration applications do not. This implies that if their claim for indefinite leave as a victim of domestic abuse is denied, they will normally only have an administrative review. MY used his application to argue that he would be unable to return to Pakistan, which consti...
