In this episode of the FLiP podcast, FLiP Associate Vanessa Sampaio, leads a discussion with Andrew Jones, Immigration Solicitor at Wesley Gryk Solicitors on family separation and possible immigration issues that can be encountered. Vanessa and Andrew cover a wide range of points such as: The challenges that arise from an immigration perspective for individuals in circumstances where their immigration status is dependent on their spouse and there is risk of such status being lost upon divorce. What impact children have on the immigration status of separating individuals. The legal position for unmarried couples who have children and one of the parents has a temporary visa and what can be done to regularise the parent's status who does not have the right to remain in the country. Protective steps that family lawyers can take to safeguard their client's immigration position. Vanessa advises on all aspects of family law including the division of finances on the breakdown of marriage/civil partnerships, and the preparation of pre and post nuptial agreements. She also advises in respect of matters under TOLATA 1996 and under Schedule 1 of the Children Act. Vanessa prioritises her clients' objectives whilst providing them with pragmatic advice to assist them in achieving the best outcome for themselves and their children. Vanessa offers a considered approach to resolving her cases as constructively as possible, but nonetheless takes a strategic view when it comes to litigation. Vanessa is ranked as a Recommended Lawyer by Legal 500 2023. Andrew Jones is a solicitor at Wesley Gryk Solicitors LLP. Andrew's practice covers a wide range of immigration, asylum and nationality matters. Andrew regularly assists clients to make applications for parents and partners applying to enter or extend their stay in the United Kingdom. He also has experience with applications for asylum, British citizenship for adults and children and status under the EU Settlement Scheme. Andrew successfully challenges Home Office decisions in the Immigration and Asylum Tribunals and by judicial review.

Colin and Sonia take a look back at 2022 and ahead to 2023 as well as covering the immigration updates from December 2022. Looking back, they talk about small boat crossings, the Ukraine and Hong Kong schemes, the impact (or lack of) the Nationality and Borders Act 2022, the Rwanda judgment, the asylum backlog and the net migration figures. Looking to the future they cover Rishi Sunak's asylum plan, whether the Home Office can cope, the prospect of yet more legislation and the ideas for immigration restrictions on families, students and workers floated via The Times over the Christmas break. Finally, they cover several litigation developments for lawyers from December 2022 and end by discussing to big cases for EU citizens with pre settled status. Phew. Looking back and ahead Free Movement review of the year 2022 Rishi Sunak announces new new plan for asylum Has Sunak's bank account closure plan killed off the Windrush Lessons Learned Review?

The immigration system has been through a lot since I started covering it for Free Movement five years ago. In September 2017, the UK was still in the two-year countdown to leaving the European Union, and there were even doubts about whether it would happen at all. The EU Settlement Scheme was still a twinkle in the Home Office's eye, and instead of the exciting post-Brexit points-based immigration system we had a boring old... points-based immigration system. But while the basic architecture of the visa system remains largely the same, lots of the details have changed. Gone are the Investor and Entrepreneur routes, while in have come a host of new or (more commonly) rebranded visas: Innovator, Graduate, Global Talent, High Potential and Seasonal Worker. The flagship Skilled Worker route is now much easier to recruit into than Tier 2 (General) ever was, and visa issuances to non-Europeans have soared. That's led to a recent narrative that immigration has actually risen since Brexit -- although as Peter William Walsh of the Migration Observatory points out, this theory is somewhat lacking in key epistemic features, such as being true. I spoke to Peter, Colin and business immigration guru Nichola Carter for a valedictory podcast looking back at the big themes and trends of the past five years in UK immigration, including Brexit, Windrush and Rwanda.
Almost 5 million Granted UK Residence Under EU Settlement Scheme Despite warnings of a mass ‘Brexit exodus' of European migrants, it has emerged that just under five million people were granted the right to live and work in the UK under the EU Settlement Scheme so far, according to official estimates. Home Office figures reveal that, as of the end of June, some 4,908,760 EU citizens had been granted an immigration status to remain in the country as full freedom of movement to live and work in the UK came to a close following Brexit transition. EU citizens – as well as people from Iceland Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland – and their families were invited to apply to the scheme by the June 30 deadline. Quarterly data published this week showed that the Home Office had processed 5.5 million applications for settlement by the deadline, with the highest numbers of applications coming from Polish, Romanian and Italian nationals The latest figures are much higher than the official estimate of how many EU nationals are living in the UK. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) indicated that in mid-2020 this was 3.5 million. More than six million applications (6,050,860) were submitted between the launch of the scheme in March 2019 and the June 30 2021 cut-off date. Over 2.8 million applicants were granted settled status, allowing them permanent leave to remain in the UK. A further 2.3 million (2,327,850) were granted pre-settled status, meaning they need to reapply after living in the country for five years to gain permanent residence or indefinite leave to remain in the UK. Included in this number, immigration status was granted to 295,890 people from countries like India, Pakistan and Brazil under the scheme, which allows family members who are not EU or European Economic Area nationals to also apply. The Home Office said: “Across all nationalities, the highest numbers of applications received were from Polish, Romanian and Italian nationals. This has been the trend throughout the life of the scheme.” There were 109,430 applications refused, 80,600 withdrawn or void, and 79,730 were deemed invalid, where the Home Office decides someone is not eligible to apply or has failed to provide sufficient proof of residence. The Home Office said 8% of the applications were from “repeat applicants” (472,220). Among the applications were more than one million from children (1,002,280). Some 772,260 of the applications from under-18s finalised by the end of June were granted an immigration status, while 32,870 requests were refused, withdrawn, void or invalid, the figures indicate. In London, Newham saw the highest number of applications to the scheme (142,120). Outside London, the highest number was in Birmingham in the West Midlands (138,490). It is still not known how many people in the UK are eligible for the scheme but could remain in the country undocumented. Anyone who has not yet applied may have lost their lawful immigration status after the deadline, although late applications can be made under limited reasonable grounds and the Government has said there is no cut-off date for doing so. Those who applied before the deadline but have yet to receive a decision are protected under existing rights, subject to the outcome of the application and any appeal. Anyone who does not apply and continues to live in the UK without being able to prove their immigration status could face enforcement action. Most migrating EU citizens will in future need a work permit to live and work in the UK. The UK has one million job vacancies including a shortage of lorry drivers and builders, much of which has been blamed on Brexit. However, the latest Home Office settlement figures appears to contradict this claim. The mainstream media keep spreading rumours that there will be empty supermarket shelves this Christmas because of the lorry driver shortage and Brexit, yet everywhere I look there's a lorry or van thundering down my street! You can't move for delivery vans dropping off goods to people who for whatever reason prefer not to go to a shop. Finally, if most of our food is imported, would that not be delivered by a lorry from the country from which the food is being sent? Of course it would! That's why our motorways are clogged up with juggernauts from Spain, Netherlands, Romania, Poland and just about every other EU country.

iProov is a small British biometric authentication company that is currently working with the NHS to provide secure login for the NHS Digital app. They are also working with the Home Office for the EU Settlement Scheme and with a range of other high-profile international customers who deploy their technology, including the US Department for Homeland Security, the Singapore government, the Australian government, and the Eurostar. However, most recently, the company has very much been at the centre of a lot of nationwide debate around the introduction of Covid status certificates and the interoperability of vaccine passports internationally. This is due to the fact that in January this year, iProov announced plans to develop technology for vaccine certificates, having received a grant from Innovate UK to fund the pilot project. Andrew Bud CBE is the Founder and CEO of face biometrics firm iProov. He is also the Chair of the Mobile Ecosystem Forum (MEF), the global trade association of the mobile content and applications industry. I invited him on the podcast o talk about the role that biometrics will play in a post-Covid world in wide a range of industries. We also discuss how Covid status certificates will be integrated into public life and the developing conversation around their use.

Two Deadlines End 30 June - How Will They Affect You? · Stamp Duty holiday ends, long live tax on property buyers! · Wednesday 30 June is the deadline for most European Union (EU) citizens to apply to live permanently in the UK as settled residents. The Stamp Duty exemption for homebuyers paying tax on properties which cost £250,000 or less is coming to an end, much to my solicitor's relief! He will need a real holiday! Wales temporarily raised its threshold for land transaction tax (LTT) during the pandemic from £180,000 to £250,000, in line with other UK governments. The exemption, originally to March 2021, was extended to 30 June. Some homebuyers have saved thousands by completing sales within the deadline, but others are set to miss out for various reasons including legal or mortgage delays. From 1 July, stamp duty will be charged above £250,000 at the following rates: · £0-£250,000 = 0% · £250,001-£925,000 = 5% · £925,001-£1,500,000 = 10% · £1,500,000+ = 12% On 1 October 2021, rates are due to return to normal. That means the point you to start paying stamp duty will revert to £125,001: · £0-£125,000 = 0% · £125,001-£250,000 = 2% · £250,001-£925,000 = 5% · £925,000-£1,500,000 = 10% · £1,500,000+ = 12% You can use the government's Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) calculator to find out how much you would pay.

EU Settlement Scheme Deadline The take-up of the European Union Settlement Scheme (EUSS) has been huge - but there are serious concerns that thousands of people have still not sought to register. Anyone who is not registered loses their legal right to live in the UK. What is the EU Settlement Scheme? The EUSS was launched in March 2019 to register EU citizens as settled residents in the UK.

Will there be a slump in the market? In truth, nobody really knows when the property, or stock market, will peak, but we do know that bull runs usually last 10-12 years and we have already passed that deadline. Governments around the world printing trillions of dollars have prevented a slump and recession, so far. An estate agent friend of mine, who has just had her best quarter ever, said she is concerned that people who wanted to buy this year have done so already. EU Settlement Scheme Deadline The take-up of the European Union Settlement Scheme (EUSS) has been huge - but there are serious concerns that thousands of people have still not sought to register. Anyone who is not registered loses their legal right to live in the UK. What is the EU Settlement Scheme? The EUSS was launched in March 2019 to register EU citizens as settled residents in the UK. This is a follow-on from Brexit, which ended freedom of movement and the right of people from the EU to come to the UK - and for UK citizens to go the other way. More details - https://how2cometotheuk.blogspot.com/2021/06/eu-settlement-deadline-30-june-2021-how.html By the end of May 2021, 5.6 million people had applied for the scheme - far more than expected (it was estimated in March 2019 that there were 3.7m EU nationals in the UK). How will this affect UK residents? The BBC reports that a shortage of skilled trade workers has developed as European Union migrants leave the UK and demand for home improvements rises, according to the founder of Homeserve. Chief executive Richard Harpin said the shortages were "pretty bad" across the country, not just in construction but in other trades too. He wants the government to put more trades on its jobs shortage list. The hospitality sector is also experiencing staff shortages, so you might have to wait a little longer for your latte. In the long run, importing cheap labour does not help the economy and we should be investing in more training to upskill the resident workforce, especially if they are unemployed and drawing benefits. The laws of supply and demand dictate that when there is a shortage, prices rise. We will all be paying more for trades people, and the price of materials has also shot up. It has become almost impossible to find handymen, plumbers, builders, electricians and other workers since the lockdown when thousands of EU workers handed back the keys to their landlords and flew home. With so many people moving, everyone is busy, which is exactly what the government wanted to achieve with the stimulus. Would you like to get into property, but have no money or don't know how?

Brexit begins on 1 July. From that date, “hostile environment” checks apply to EU citizens in earnest. It will no longer be possible to satisfy an immigration status check — for benefits, employment or a tenancy — by flashing an EU passport. Instead, as Home Office guidance puts it, EU nationals “will be required to provide evidence of lawful immigration status in the UK, in the same way as other foreign nationals”. For those living in the UK before the end of 2020, evidence of lawful immigration status is likely to mean pre-settled or status granted under the EU Settlement Scheme. Applications to that scheme are, for the most part,...

Through dogged reporting in The Guardian, Amelia Gentleman showed that British residents and citizens who had arrived from the Caribbean in the 1950s and 60s had been mistakenly classified as unauthorized immigrants. That came to be known as the Windrush Scandal. Three years on, I caught up with Amelia Gentleman ahead of Windrush Day to talk about its aging victims, the compensation scheme and the Home Office's promises of reform. And in the waning days of the EU settlement scheme, we ask: Just as the Windrush generation was caught out by the end of free movement in the empire, could the Brexit generation be Britain's next immigration scandal? 00:23 Intro02:42 Amelia Gentleman's career story04:20 The Windrush scandal: a primer08:14 Malice, incompetence or both?10:49 People screaming into the void14:42 When austerity and the hostile environment meet17:31 Individual cases were solved, but systemic issues ignored19:51 How these stories became "The Windrush Scandal"25:29 Has the compensation scheme held its promises?29:08 Could the EU Settlement Scheme be the next Windrush scandal?35:53 How do you relate to a country that has turned its back on you?44:07 Outro

The deadline for EU (including EEA and Swiss citizens) to apply to continue living in the UK is fast approaching, with the EU Settlement Scheme set to close in less than two weeks' time on 30 June 2021. UK employers should be working with their EU staff to ensure their registration to the Scheme by this date. If an employee intends to apply under the Scheme but has not yet done so, employers should encourage them to do so without delay, and offer any necessary support with completing their application. Contact our immigration team for further advice.
Deputy Director Professor Catherine Barnard talks to Times Radio host Matt Chorley about the EU Settlement Scheme, the scale of the digital process, the success behind the programme and what happens to people who miss the deadline.

In our last podcast, we talked about the differences in the old and new systems. In this episode we provide an overview of the EU settlement scheme. We cover the application process, the differences between settled and pre-settled status, and timescales applicants should be aware of in terms of time spent out of the UK.
This episode provides a summary of the EU Settlement Scheme and the new points based immigration scheme. We also provide an update on the latest changes to Immigration following publication by the Home Office on the 4 March 2021 of a "Statement of Changes". The changes made include the introduction of a new graduate route, a global talent scheme and changes to the Shortage Occupation List (SOL) including a "vent chick sexer". Yes, you read that correctly, a vent chick sexer.
In this episode, our first guest Nina de Ayala Parker will discuss and share her perspective on Brexit, and more specifically on the new EU Settlement Scheme. In addition, she will provide context about her experience in British politics, as a young activist for human rights and gender issues.

In the last decade for many Eastern European Roma, the UK has become a safe place. Fleeing from discrimination, segregation, extreme poverty and racism, many Romani families have saught a better life there, around two hundred and thousand people to be precise.After Brexit, they have become at risk of losing their right of residence. Some members of the community lack the documentation and digital skills necessary to apply for the EU Settlement Scheme known as the EUSS. The application can ONLY be done online. Sounds easy right? Not at all. For many Romani migrants this is simply impossible without extra help. Meanwhile the pandemic rages in the UK and the clock is ticking with only a few months left until the deadline JUNE 30, 2021.In this episode of the Romani Tea Room representatives of Luton Roma Trust, local NGO in the UK will tell us why thousands of Romani migrants loose asylums in post-Brexit UK.In the second part, we will discuss if Britain is a safe place for Roma or not.

Az EU állampolgárságú bevándorlók jogállásának biztosítására az Egyesült Királyságban 2019. márciusában elindították az EU Settlement Scheme programot. Az ezzel kapcsolatos legfontosabb tudnivalókat hallhatja ebben a részben.
IOM initiative: https://unitedkingdom.iom.int/uknsf-portugalEmail address: uknationalspt@iom.intNew biometric card portal: www.brexit.sef.ptThe International Organization for Migration (IOM) will provide practical support to UK Nationals who may find it harder to complete all their residency applications to secure and maintain their residency rights in EU countries now that the UK has left the EU. IOM, through the UK Nationals Support Fund (UKNSF), aims to reach 30,000 at-risk UK Nationals over the next year through information activities and practical support in France, Spain, Poland, Slovakia, Germany, Italy and Portugal. “The UK’s departure from the EU affects EU nationals in the UK – for whom we have provided support over the past year under the UK’s EU Settlement Scheme – as well as UK Nationals in the EU,” said Dipti Pardeshi, IOM Chief of Mission in the UK. “This project is very timely because it will support people who may struggle to secure their residency rights,” she continued. IOM, together with its partners, will raise awareness among UK Nationals living in the seven EU states, share accessible information on residency requirements, and provide direct practical support in completing applications for those in situations where access to information and application processes are difficult. While information provided online and through other media will be available to all, for targeted events and referrals for direct case support, IOM will focus on individuals who face specific challenges, such as people living with disabilities, those grappling with chronic illness, language and literacy barriers, or barriers in accessing technology. The seven EU Member States that IOM will be working in, were determined based on assessed needs and in coordination with some of the other grantees to ensure coverage for populations in such situations in these countries. The grant is one part of a total of GBP 3 million made available by the UK government for charities and organizations to provide practical support for UK nationals living in the EU. “Our global work in this area complements government services and provides assistance to migrants with information on their rights and access to procedures, especially for those living in more difficult circumstances,” said Pardeshi. IOM has been working for nearly 75 years to promote humane, orderly and regular migration. The new project brings together many areas of IOM’s work which helps people to avoid ending up in an irregular or undocumented situation, including its expertise in regularization, integration, ID management, and directly assisting migrants who find themselves in difficult or vulnerable situations.

Welcome to episode 80 of the Free Movement immigration update podcast. This month we start with the EU Settlement Scheme before turning to a couple of cases at the intersection of immigration law and family law. With the slow down in the court system, there wasn't a whole lot of case law this month, so we take a detour via domestic abuse and sponsor licensing before getting back to the courts with a few cases on procedure and compensation for delay. To round off, there's a couple of positive developments on legal aid and leave to remain for people falsely accused of cheating on their English test. If you would...

If an employee feels they have been the victim of discrimination or harassment at work because of a philosophical belief, they could claim for compensation. But what is a philosophical belief? Is fox hunting, life after death, veganism, Brexit or Scottish Independence protected under the Equality Act or is this just an opinion? And what happens when one person's belief conflicts with another's, like Christianity and homosexuality? There is no hierarchy of beliefs so how should employers deal with this? What impact has social media had on these cases, with it being so easy now for people to express their views on a particular topic? Philosophical beliefs can be a tricky area for HR teams to advise on, but it's a growing issue and important to get right from a reputational and financial perspective. TLT's employment team offers their views and shares some advice on how to deal with these cases, including the need to remain objective, listen and to have clear policies on how the company handles discrimination and bullying. We also comment on three recent news stories including: Brexit and how the EU Settlement Scheme is performing CCOO v Deutsche Bank (ECJ), which suggests that the UK law on time recording might be in conflict with provisions of the European Working Time Directive The government-led consultation on maternity rights and enhanced rights on an individual's return to work, including our thoughts on the proposals Finally, we answer some of your questions.

Welcome to the May 2019 edition of the Free Movement immigration update podcast. This was a mercifully quiet month in immigration law, for a change, but there's still a few decisions from the Court of Appeal to be aware of — particularly on asylum and trafficking — as well as an important process change for Zambrano applicants. There's a useful judgment on damages for unlawful detention from the European Court of Human Rights and a new Shortage Occupation List coming in, and we also chat about the EU Settlement Scheme and the new Immigration Services Commissioner.

The EU Settlement Scheme is well underway, with 600,000 European citizens and their families having now applied to stay in the UK after Brexit. The scheme appears to have lived up to its billing insofar as the Home Office is looking to grant people settled status rather than refuse it. Officially, there have been zero refusals in the 188,000 cases decided by mid-April 2019. It does seem wildly unlikely that a 100% grant rate will be sustained in the long run. There have been well-documented teething troubles for individual applicants, and the number of people who will ultimately slip through the cracks by failing to apply at all remains a...
