The Government's changing residency rules to allow overseas primary teachers to apply for New Zealand residency. Speaking exclusively to Newstalk ZB, the Immigration Minister says from next month, offshore primary teachers will only need a job offer, and don't need to have worked here for two years, to be given residency. Erica Stanford told Mike Hosking it follows the Government putting secondary teachers on the same pathway last year, which made a big difference to their numbers.

Australia is expected to significantly drop the number of migrants it allows into the country, due to the pressure it's putting on housing and infrastructure. In the last year, Australia's net migration gain has been over 500,000. Here in New Zealand, net migration gain was at almost 120,000, a rate higher per capita than that of Australia. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon spoke with Corin Dann.

Chancellors usually save that for a pre-election budget! Jeremy Hunt highlighted concerns about the banking sector, following the collapse of America's Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank and a further bailout by the US banks, but reassured us that the UK banking industry is safe. European Central Bank supervisors see no contagion for euro zone banks from recent sector turmoil, a source said on Friday, after U.S. lenders threw First Republic Bank a $30 billion lifeline and tapped record amounts from the Federal Reserve. Large U.S. banks on Thursday were forced to rescue the San Francisco-based lender, which was caught up in market volatility triggered by the collapse of two other mid-size U.S. banks. This week, Credit Suisse went ‘cap in hand' to the central for an emergency bank loan of up to $54 billion to shore up its liquidity – banking terms for having no money! The National Residential Landlords Association described it as a missed opportunity to tackle the supply crisis in the private rented sector and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) said it was disappointed by the lack of housing ambition in the budget. However, the Chancellor did announce 12 new Investment Zones across the UK and relaxed Immigration Rules to help the construction industry cope with staff shortages. Most of us will be paying more tax  in the coming years due to the ‘fiscal drag' caused by tax allowances not rising in line with inflation each year.

Coromandel could have its ferry service back if the government losened immigration rules to allow more skippers and qualified crew into the country, the boss of Fullers 360 says. Right now road access around the peninsula is precarious, with State Highway 25A out for least a year after a massive chunk collapsed. And SH25 is severely compromised near Opoutere. It is closed most of the day while Waka Kotaki works out how to patch a significant hole. More than a year ago Fullers suspended its Auckland to Coromandel town ferry because of severe staff shortages that are affecting all its shortages. But cyclone road damage has promoted calls for a reboot and expansion of the service to more towns. But Fullers 360 chief executive Mike Horne explains getting to the other side of the peninsula is just too difficult.

The National Party says the Government must act quickly to allow immigrant nurses to fill the shortfall of jobs within the health sector. The party's deputy leader says the health sector is in need of an estimated 4000 nurses and the Government needs to let immigrant nurses in to help alleviate the strain on services. Nicola Willis told Morning Report the government needs to drop the two year bonding scheme and allow immigrant nurses into the country to take up the jobs now. She says the government needs to move quickly on this policy change. Nicola Willis said the government must recognise immigrant workers do a good job and keep the health sector alive.

Closing the Investor visa route to new applicants with immediate effect was necessary, the Home Secretary said this week. If potential applicants had been given a decent period of notice, it might have attracted a last-minute flood of undesirables who “may not comply with the requirements of the Immigration Rules or who may pose national security risks”. To which Sophie Barrett-Brown and Hazar El-Chamaa, my guests on the podcast this week, respond: why would you be granting visas to people who don't qualify or threaten national security? The Home Office had plenty of existing powers to turn away applicants who can't prove their money is clean or who seem that...

We aren't sure why but there are an amazing number of immigrants who think that the immigration rules don't apply to them. This is especially true when talking about senior citizens. But guess what - almost all of the immigration rules apply no matter how old or how young you are. You don't get a pass just because you are old or because mom or dad are old. Tune in to this video to hear how it all fits together.

Part 9 of the Immigration Rules consists of a long list of reasons why someone can be refused permission to enter or stay in the UK. These are known as the “general grounds for refusal”. Part 9 was recently overhauled, with the Home Office simultaneously making cosmetic and substantive changes to the general grounds. On the cosmetic side, the existing rules have been rewritten and restructured. (The word “general' no longer appears in the title to Part 9, for one thing, so my terminology is already out of date.) Gone are the familiar reference points for lawyers: paragraph 320, paragraph 322(5) and all the rest of it. But more to...

Thousands of couples are struggling to prove their love is real, as immigration puts its foot down.In the past year nearly eight hundred visa partnership applications were declined for failing to prove they were 'genuine and stable'.Immigration lawyer Aaron Martin told Andrew Dickens the documentation criteria and proof of joint accounts is outdated.He says it's particularly hard for couples trying to establish their lives here, because some banks won't allow a joint bank account to be set up if one partner is on a visitor visa."The criteria for proving a relationship is too old-fashioned. It is very difficult to provide mail sent to joint names, because more companies are using email."LISTEN TO THE INTERVIEW ABOVE

The Immigration Rules are an integral part of the legal system but have been criticised for their complexity and prescriptive nature. In this week's episode we examine the rules in the context of the proposed deportation of Robinson who came to the UK as a child but has committed multiple criminal offences. He wanted to appeal the decision following the recent birth of his child but a jurisdiction issue stood in his way.

Welcome to the October 2018 edition of the Free Movement immigration update podcast. We posted 40 articles on the blog last month, but are realistically limited in a podcast to discussing the most important ten or so. A Supreme Court judgment obviously qualifies, so we start with that one on how the best interests of children factor into removal decisions before turning to another case involving children, this time in the Upper Tribunal. There's also a set of changes to the Immigration Rules to mug up on. Most of the rest of this month's update is case law, of which the most significant case may be on Surinder Singh rights....

Welcome to the June 2018 edition of the Free Movement immigration update podcast. I start this month with a whistle-stop tour of some of the latest changes to the Immigration Rules before highlighting a couple of procedural changes, including the end of special deadlines for the Home Office in judicial review cases. Then to Brexit, as the government published something approaching a plan on citizens' rights, and then to some judgments around children and families. I then note some case law on trafficking, deportation and asylum before ending on a note of alarm on immigration bail accommodation. This month we published a lot of new or updated explainers on many...

One of India's major exports can readily be seen in computer science faculties, at information technology events, or among programmers and developers in most parts of the world—the IT professional. India is a major global supplier of IT professionals, especially to Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development member countries, but stricter immigration policies in countries, including the US and the UK in the wake of Brexit, may dent their job prospects, forcing an increased focus on the People's Republic of China and Japan. An Asian Development Bank Institute report by Anthony D'Costa of the University of Melbourne found the entire Indian IT industry is estimated to employ directly 2.5 million to 3 million people, with another 10 million or so indirectly in low-wage services. But with much of the domestic industry focused on the lower end of the market, going abroad is one of the few attractive options for upward mobility. Restrictive immigration policies mean this is not always feasible.

Welcome to the January 2018 edition of the Free Movement immigration update podcast. This month I start with a follow-up to the Immigration Rules changes covered last month and discuss the commencement of the immigration bail provisions of the Immigration Act 2016. I go on to look at the application process for “settled status”, the legal situation on appeal rights against refusals of visit visas, return to the UK for those subjected to out-of-country appeals and discuss several CJEU cases including two on Dublin III processes. I round off with some domestic cases including on trafficking damages, costs and the Points Based System. The material is all drawn from the January...

Welcome to the December 2017 edition of the Free Movement immigration update podcast. This month I cover some changes to the Immigration Rules, the latest Brexit developments and a trio of decisions on deportation. I then mention two cases at the Court of Justice of the European Union – one judgment and one referral – before finishing on some of the other case law we covered on the blog in December, which includes an interesting Supreme Court decision on deprivation of citizenship. The material is all drawn from the December 2017 blog posts on Free Movement. If you would like to claim CPD points for reading the material and listening to this...

Since the election of Donald Trump, immigrants and their lawyers have been preparing for the worst. In part 2 of our series on the role some local police play in the enforcement of federal immigration laws, we spend time with the immigrant community in Frederick County Maryland, one place that’s been helping the feds since 2008. Minor offenders who were allowed to remain under the Obama administration are getting their papers together, avoiding the police and getting ready to be deported after living for years in the US.

The Supreme Court dealt with yet another immigration case this week and how the Immigration Rules interact with Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. In this case two women were residing unlawfully in the UK but had formed relationships during their stay. They appealed against the refusal by the Home Secretary to grant them leave to remain and so this allowed for an interrogation of the rules relating to such relationships. Music from bensound.com

A 2012 amendment to the Immigration Rules established a minimum income requirement of £18,600 per year for applicants outside of the European Economic Area to join their spouse or civil partner in the UK. In these appeals this amendment was challenged on the basis of Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (right to privacy and family life) as well as the effect on children in the light of s. 55 of the Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act 2009.

Will and Brian kickoff this week's episode by discussing the death of Jeffery Epstein, the fascination with Clinton conspiracy theories, and the potential need for prison reforms across the United States. Will posits that the Clintons seem to have really bad luck with their acquaintances and sudden deaths. He does, however, firmly believe Epstein's death shows a drastic need for both transparency in autopsies and some degree of prison reform. Brian doesn't buy the conspiracy argument, but he does believe the public fascination with conspiracies is telling of political society today. He also thinks prison reform is not likely in response despite the very public nature of problems today due to lack of attention for particular offenses. Next, they turn to discuss Netanyahu's decision to not allow Representatives Tlaib and Omar to enter Israel to visit the West Bank and Palestine. Will believe this is well within the nation's rights given the obvious goal of the two to use the trip as a means for further protests, directly questioning Israel's legitimacy. Brian points to the unusual actions of President Trump in suggesting they should not be permitted to enter and Netanyahu's response. He also brings up the pressures faced by the two for not agreeing to sign the statement saying their visit wasn't going to be politics. Will also points out how this decision could impact younger American Jews as they think about the nation of Israel. Next, they turn to discuss the decision by John Hickenlooper to resign from the Democratic nomination battle to run for Senate and Beto O'Rourke's defiance when asked to consider the same. Neither Will nor Brian believe either candidate had a chance of winning, but Will believes this may better reflect O'Rourke's Vice-Presidential aspirations. Brian discusses how Hickenlooper ran his campaign and failed to distinguish himself. Moreover, he believes O'Rourke is clearly living in a delusional world after plateauing during the Cruz debate. They also discuss Joe Biden's continual gaffes in recent weeks. Will believes this is tried and true Biden and will help him appear genuine. Brian, on the other hand, questions if this may be a reflection of Joe's age and ultimate ability to win a contested primary. Will and Brian then turn to discuss the Trump Administration's new immigration rules, which limit the ability for individuals to receive visas for mailing to meet income standards or for receiving public assistance. He believes tradition should not dictate future direction, and that the president is exercising his legal and constitutional rights to do this. Brian agrees that Trump is within his rights and aiming to develop a self-reliant American citizenry. He does believe, however, that the public charge is being misapplied in this case given the data on who uses which policies. Brian believe this is symptomatic of a larger concern, however: the demise of the American Dream. He is concerned about what the image of America is today to the world and how it will impact our short- and long-term futures. As he posits, why are the companies using these workers not being punished, as well? *Listener support helps make The Politics Guys possible*.
