In essence, the policy provides that, in cases of potential discretionary
refusal under paragraph 322 of the Immigration Rules, caseworkers
should follow the ‘Patel’ process. Where this is not done, the resulting
decision will not be in accordance with the law.”
If the application falls to be refused under 322(2) to 322(12), then as
full consideration of the application is required then caseworkers
should proceed in the way set out below.
The caseworker should first of all check whether or not the application
was submitted prior to the expiry of the applicant’s leave to enter or
remain.
