Immigration roundup: September 2024


Listen Later

In this episode of the podcast Barry does everyone a big favour by taking us through the autumn statement of changes in detail. Sonia and Barry also have a bit of a call to arms on discretionary grants of indefinite leave to

remain and tackling the ten year route. The importance of scrutinising country policy and information notes in asylum claims is covered over a few different articles. Barry goes through the minefield of travelling with leave under Appendix EUSS or a pending application, as well as the additional powers given to Border Force officials to cancel leave granted under Appendix EUSS at the border. Sonia really really doesn't want people to abuse the fee waiver process. We also cover Windrush and freedom of information requests, a successful Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) judicial review, the latest on biometric residence permits and eVisas, and more. We finish up with a look at the recent legal aid challenge and what the next steps look like there.
