Statement of Changes into force 13 February 2012
Statement of Changes in Immigration Rules HC 1733 and UK Border Agency to corporate group re changes to paragraph 395C of the immigration rules, 19 January 2012. The Explanatory note to the Statement of Changes says that it is:
To provide migrants applying in the United Kingdom under Tier 2 or 5 of the
Points Based System the opportunity to complete and submit their application
online. The current option of making an application by post or in person by
making an appointment at a Public Enquiry Office will continue. As such, this
change provides an alternative on-line process for migrants in addition to
existing application routes. These regulations support the shift towards online
services to help transform the relationship between UK Border Agency and
those subject to immigration control.
To delete the requirement, in paragraph 395C, for the Secretary of State to
consider all relevant factors known to her before a decision to remove under
section 10 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 or section 47 of the
Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006 is made. The deletion will
mean that refusal of an application for leave to remain and a removal decision can be made together.
To delete paragraphs 395A, 395B, 395D, 395E and 395F because they replicate provisions in primary legislation.
To make provision for when and what the decision maker should have regard to, when considering “exceptional circumstances” when an unsuccessful asylum or human rights application is being reviewed.
