Study Notes
OISC Level 1 Assessment - 24 November 2016
- Section 1: Multiple Choice Questions
- Exam duration: 1 hour and 15 minutes
- Open book exam: Candidates can refer to the OISC exam resource book, published texts, and personal notes.
- Only one correct answer per question.
- Maximum of one mark per question.
- Answers must be recorded on the answer sheet, not on the question paper.
Immigration Rules Amendments
- Method: The Secretary of State amends the Immigration Rules by publishing new Immigration Regulations or a Statement of Changes.
- Procedure: Simply updating the rules on the gov.uk website without prior notice is not an acceptable amendment process.
Overstayer Circumstances
- Circumstances: A client becomes an overstayer if their leave to remain in the UK expires before they receive a decision on their application for an extension of that leave. If the Home Office returns the application because it's invalid after the leave has expired, the client is also an overstayer. The application may also be rejected with an administrative review.
- Important Consideration: If leave to remain expires, but the Home Office decides to refuse an application for an extension of stay after the leave to remain has expired, the client becomes an overstayer. A right of appeal does not change the overstayer status.
Client's Leave Expiring
- Passport Issue: If a client's leave expires and their passport is delayed by embassy processing, they should still apply for an extension of stay, providing a timely explanation to the Home Office for the missing passport. Submitting the passport as soon as it's available to the Home Office is recommended.
Operational Guidance Documents
- Location: The documents are found in the Operational Guidance section of the gov.uk website.
- Included Documents: Modernised Guidance, Immigration Directorate Instructions, Guidance to Applicants, and Entry Clearance Guidance.
Appeal Deadlines (First-Tier Tribunal)
- UK Right of Appeal: The deadline for lodging an appeal from within the UK is 14 calendar days after the Home Office refusal decision is received.
Financial Requirements (Sponsor)
- Requirements: A British citizen wanting to sponsor her husband to come to the UK (as a partner) must meet a requirement of £18,600.
Disability Allowance
- Financial Requirements: If a client receives Disability Living Allowance, the financial requirement remains "adequate maintenance without recourse to public funds".
Criminal Convictions
- Visa Implications: A minor criminal conviction six months prior to visa application may result in a visa application refusal unless the applicant waits 5 years from the date of conviction.
NHS Debt and Entry Clearance
- Impact: A specific level of NHS debt could lead to a refusal of entry clearance as a visitor. The debt cut-off for visitor entry clearance refusal is set at £500.
Visitor Activities
- Permitted Activities: Visitors can undertake activities such as volunteering (for the duration of the visit), studying English language with a private tutor, or private medical treatment (arranged after arriving in the UK).
- Prohibited Activities: Visitors cannot engage in activities like negotiating and signing contracts or deals.
Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) Extension of Stay
- Electronic Bank Statements: If electronic bank statements stamped by the bank are not submitted with the application, the client should make a fresh application in order to submit bank statements with proper stamping.
Tier 2 Extension Salary
- Source: Appendix J of the Immigration Rules
Tier 5 Salary
- Source: Appendix A to the Immigration Rules
EEA National Naturalization
- UK's Plan to Leave EU: Applying for naturalization as soon as possible may be beneficial in light of the UK's withdrawal from the EU.
- Family Implications: Applicants should consider the implications for family members residing or planning to join them in the UK prior to naturalization, as this can impact their right to reside here.
EEA National Family Member
- Financial Dependence: A 19-year-old child in full-time employment who lives independently from their parents is not considered a financial dependent under EEA law for the purpose of determining whether they're an "ordinary family member".
Temporary Work Contract Completion
- Residency Rights: Once a worker's temporary contract ends, they have six months to find another job before losing their right to reside in the UK as a worker. Further compelling evidence of searching for employment can extend this period.
British Citizen Registration
- Eligibility: A child born in the UK can apply for British citizenship at the age of 10.
Removal vs Deportation
- Key Difference: Removal is for individuals without legal leave to remain, while deportation is for those whose presence in the UK is not conducive to the public good. Removal is not a voluntary process, while other options exist for individuals whose presence in the UK is not conducive to the public good. EEA nationals are removed, while non-EEA nationals are deported.
Administrative Review
- Procedure: The procedure for applying for an Administrative Review is found in Part 1 of the Immigration Rules or the Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal) (IAC) Rules 2014.
Section 2: Scenario-Based Questions
- Exam Duration: 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- Total Marks: 30 marks.
- Instructions: Answers should be legible and communicated clearly in plain English.
- Additional Marks: Up to two additional marks can be awarded for the structure and readability of the letter.
