Immigration Update: 2 February 2012
Important Change to the UK Immigration Rules From 13 February 2012 the Immigration Rules will be changed so that following the refusal of a valid in time application, the UK Border Agency (UKBA) will also make a removal decision. In view of this, individuals will need to appeal against both the refusal and removal decision at the subsequent appeal. Failure to lodge an appeal or if an appeal is unsuccessful, will result in the individual being liable to detention, restrictions and removal without further notice.

Immigration Update: 20 January 2012
Due to changes in legislation, and from 29 February 2012, all non-EEA nationals seeking leave to remain, including settlement, will be required to enrol their biometric features (to date, biometric enrolment has not affected migrants applying for indefinite leave to remain). Permission to remain in the UK will be evidenced by a Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) card and not the usual passport endorsement. This means there will be a significant increase in the number of people enrolling their biometric features.
