Apparently, local authorities have been told to expect 70% of cases currently being looked at to recieve positives; in a surprising piece of common sense, former NASS accommodation is being extended for up to six months as the burden on LA housing could have been unbearable, not to mention politically explosive.I heard that a 90% success rate for legacy cases in Glasgow.

Two weeks ago I read an article about immigration and it said the the clearance of the Legacy backlog can be perceived as a full amnesty and another articles said thats its a back door amnesty. I cant find the link now.
That sounds like everyone.breeze123 wrote:I think I found the answer to my question about date which Home office will start reviewing singles cases
The BIA says that questionnaires will go out in
significant numbers from 18 December 2007
when all the necessary staff and procedures are
in place. Until then, questionnaires are being sent
to the first priorities: cases where there is a risk of
people causing harm; cases thought to be easily
removable; cases thought easy to grant; cases
where no initial decision has been made and
active review cases including unaccompanied
children.

i think you are right. my uncle is the head of a charity which helps asylum seekers and he told me today that pretty much every day, atleast 1 or 2 families (that he knows of) are granted ILR and that he hasnt come across news of any removals lately.breeze123 wrote:I think that what is going to happen
jimuk wroteI heard that a 90% success rate for legacy cases in Glasgow.On the analogy of the Family ILR exercise, what will most likely happen is that when the Home Office finish working through whatever cases they can, they will invite representations from anyone else that feels they might qualify.

Asylum seeker on fake passport worked for immigration service for a year
An asylum seeker with a false passport worked for almost a year processing immigration appeals, it emerged yesterday.
Eugene Tawanda Madzima landed the job at the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal Service after supposedly undergoing background checks.
Officials were tricked by a faked letter from the Home Office saying the 24-yearold had permission to stay in the UK. Madzima was so well regarded at work he even gave a staff training presentation at the AITS centre in Leicester.
He was caught only when he tried to use the forged passport to open an HSBC bank account.
As Madzima was jailed for 12 months at Leicester Crown Court for holding forged documents, Judge Simon Hammond said the situation was "staggering" and "beggars belief".
He added: "Why was he able to get a fulltime job with the Appeals and Immigration Tribunal Service, of all people, who are meant to be dealing with people seeking asylum?
"No proper checks were made and yet he must have been on their records. "
He ordered an inquiry into Madzima's claim that he bought the false passport for £1,000 from a London solicitor who dealt with his asylum application in 2002.The court heard that Madzima and his mother came to the UK in 2002, after their home in Zimbabwe was destroyed during political unrest, and made a joint application to stay.
His mother was refused and left the country but there is no record of a decision on Madzima.
His case is understood to be among the 450,000 "legacy" claims which were found forgotten in boxes and are now being sifted through.
Jacqui Callam, defending, said Madzima simply "made up" a National Insurance number when he secured the job. She said he had "worked hard and earned the respect of colleagues ".
He held the administrator's job from January last year until he was fired last month.
Judge Hammond said he was not recommending deportation because of the situation in Zimbabwe. A decision on Madzima's status will be taken later.
Perhaps the Home Office may offer him a job. He reminds me of Frank Abagnale Jr.archigabe wrote:Apparently this guy is one of those overlooked asylum cases...still, I cant belive the cheek of this guy!

Funny the HO says it has offices across England and Wales but Scotland not included. I thought Immigration policies across the UK are handled by the Central Govt in London so how come Scotland is not covered by the HO then?vinny wrote:Perhaps the Home Office may offer him a job.

can I ask you what is your nationality and how long have you been in the country?We have established about 60 teams to deal specifically with the older, unresolved paper and electronic case records. We call these the case resolution teams. These teams do not take on new applications, or new evidence for existing applications dealt with by asylum teams in your region (s

UK'S ASYLUM SYSTEM COMBINES INCOMPETENCE AND INHUMANITY
12.00.00am GMT Thu 27th Mar 2008
Following today's Independent Asylum Commission report which attacks the UK's asylum system as 'shameful', Jenny Willott, Shadow Justice Spokesperson and MP for Cardiff Central, released figures showing that the Casework Resolution Directorate, the Government's flagship policy for clearing backlogged asylum cases, won't have met its target until December 2016 - more than five years overdue.
Commenting, Jenny said:
"This Government has successfully combined incompetence and inhumanity to create one of Europe's most inefficient and cruel asylum systems.
"The Government setup the Casework Resolution Directorate promising to clear its backlog of over 450,000 old asylum claims by 2011. But it at its current rate, it won't have achieved this until December 2016 - more than 5 years overdue.
"What's more, there is a hopeless level of confusion over the system with many cases where claimants are not aware their case has been considered until the removal men turn up at their door.
"Asylum seekers either find themselves treated with contempt or they are lost in a sea of government bureaucracy."

However, it might change and they might meet the target.
EM(BIA Official) stated that by February 2008 all teams should be fully operational
and by June 2008 10,000 cases a month should be concluded. By July
2011, all cases will be resolved.
