The UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) pages on the GOV.UK website provide guidance for both applicants and Home Office caseworkers. While guidance for applicants serves as a starting point, it's crucial to consult the immigration rules and guidance for caseworkers for a comprehensive understanding of how rules are applied in specific situations.

The First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) is the initial court for appeals regarding immigration decisions.

Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) will be revoked if the holder spends more than two continuous years outside the UK.

The new government is making efforts to streamline the immigration rules.

A person who has indefinite leave to remain (ILR) in the UK will lose their ILR if they are outside the UK for more than 2 years continuously.

The UKVI pages on the GOV.UK website provide guidance for both applicants and Home Office caseworkers. While guidance for applicants serves as a starting point, it's crucial to consult the immigration rules and guidance for caseworkers to fully understand the application process.

The First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) is the initial court for appeals against immigration decisions in the UK.

The goal of the new UK government is to simplify the immigration rules.

Before rejecting an application due to errors, the Home Office must first contact the applicant to provide an opportunity for correction. This principle ensures fairness in immigration application processes.

The Home Office is obligated to grant entry clearance under the partner category of Appendix FM, even if the applicant doesn't meet the minimum income requirement, if the applicant relies on paragraph EX1 of the rules.

When submitting bank statements to prove financial requirements for a visa application, the closing balance must be shown no earlier than 31 days before the application date.

A Tier 4 visa holder in the UK seeking to extend their stay as the fiancé of a British citizen is not automatically eligible for the extension of stay.

The form used to apply for settlement in the UK under the 10-year long residence category is SET(LR).

If the wrong form is submitted for an application, the Home Office will likely consider the application invalid and provide an opportunity for the applicant to resubmit on the correct form.

Recent amendments to paragraph 6 of the Immigration (EEA) Regulations 2006 aim to restrict access to benefits for certain categories of EEA nationals, not to restrict their right of admission.

An employer must advertise a job in the UK before offering it to a non-EEA national, giving British workers the opportunity to apply first.

This test requires an employer to pay their Tier 2 employee a salary comparable to what a UK national would earn in the same role.

To qualify for Tier 2 (General), applicants need to demonstrate English language proficiency at Level B1 or higher.

To control immigration under the points-based system, the Home Office has introduced 'genuineness' criteria to assess the validity of applications and prevent fraud.

A health surcharge is a fee paid by individuals applying for limited leave to remain in the UK. It contributes to the NHS (National Health Service).

When applying for a visa in the UK one must disclose all previous marriages.

If Eduardo's previous marriage is disclosed, evidence of the current relationship will prove its genuineness.

Eduardo must provide a divorce certificate for the previous marriage as proof.

It's a criminal offence to deliberately mislead the Home Office during a visa application.

A UK immigration advisor cannot represent a client if they know of a deliberate deception.

The advisor will make a witness statement about the disclosure of the previous marriage, so the client does not have to.

The advisor will refer to the relevant sections of legislation to advise on the legal requirements.

The advisor is willing to assist and advise the client throughout the process.

When an applicant relies on paragraph EX1, their partner is living with them outside the UK, receiving disability benefits, or is a refugee, they may be eligible for a particular immigration route.

Bank statements must show a closing balance no earlier than 28 days before the application date to meet the financial requirements of Appendix FM.

A Tier 4 migrant who wants to extend their stay as the fiancé of a British citizen will not be able to do so based solely on their previous leave or income. They'll need to meet other requirements.

An applicant for settlement under the 10-year long residence category will need to apply using the SET(LR) form.

If an incorrect form is used for an application, the Home Office may give the applicant one opportunity to submit the application again using the correct form.

Recent amendments to paragraph 6 of the Immigration (EEA) Regulations 2006 primarily target restricting access to benefits for EEA nationals.

If an EEA national spends six months outside the UK in a 12-month period, they might have automatically broken their continuity of residence and therefore not qualify for permanent residency after five years.

Under the Free Movement regime, an EEA national has a range of rights, including the right to work, study, and reside in the UK.

A Brazilian national can apply for a family visa if they are a partner of a British national and meet certain requirements. This visa allows them to remain in the UK for a longer period and eventually apply for permanent residency.

The Tier 5 (Temporary worker) visa allows foreign nationals to work in the UK for a specific period of time. It's a temporary visa for a short-term job.

A health surcharge is a fee immigrants need to pay to access the UK's National Health Service. It covers healthcare costs during their stay in the UK.

If a person is exempt from paying the health surcharge due to their specific circumstances, they can apply for an exception. These exemptions are outlined in the Immigration (Health Charge) Order 2015.

Cohabiting means living together in a committed relationship, but without being married or in a civil partnership.

Limited leave to remain allows a person to stay in the UK for a fixed period of time, usually with specific conditions. After this period, they may need to apply for an extension or a different visa.

Indefinite leave to remain (ILR) grants a foreign national the right to live in the UK permanently, meaning they don't need to apply for any further visas. This is a form of permanent residency.

A person who satisfies the requirements can apply for permanent residency (ILR) after spending a certain period in the UK.
