Secretary of State for the Home Department

London SW1P 4DF
Dear Secretary of State,
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to respectfully request your reconsideration of the decision to refuse my recent visa application. I believe there may have been misunderstandings or miscommunications during the assessment process, and I kindly ask for your assistance in working together to provide the necessary evidence to prove my right to permanent residence in the United Kingdom.
Firstly, I would like to express my appreciation for the diligent work carried out by the Home Office in ensuring the integrity and security of the UK immigration system. I understand the importance of thorough evaluations to maintain the country's immigration policies. However, I firmly believe that a reconsideration of my case is warranted due to the following reasons:
The Withdrawal Agreement is a legally binding international treaty between the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom (UK). The Withdrawal Agreement was ratified by both the EU and the UK, and it has the force of law in both jurisdictions. It provides a legal framework for the orderly withdrawal of the UK from the EU and aims to ensure a smooth transition and the protection of rights and obligations for individuals and businesses affected by the withdrawal.
The Withdrawal Agreement includes provisions that protect the rights of non-EU parents of British children. Under the agreement, these parents are eligible for residence rights in the UK, allowing them to live, work, and access public services. This provision is aimed at ensuring the unity of families and safeguarding the rights of children who are British citizens. To be eligible for these rights, non-EU parents of British children must meet certain criteria outlined in the Withdrawal Agreement. Although the Withdrawal Agreement primarily focuses on the rights of EU citizens in the UK and UK citizens in the EU, it does include provisions for certain family members, including non-EU parents of British children, to ensure their rights are protected during and after the UK's withdrawal from the EU.
Under the Withdrawal Agreement, non-EU parents of British children can be eligible for residence rights if they meet certain criteria: To be eligible, the child in question must hold British citizenship. This typically includes children who were born in the UK and have at least one British parent. The parent must have a genuine parental relationship with the British child. This can be established through various means, such as legal documentation, custody agreements, or proof of financial and emotional support. The non-EU parent should be actively involved in the child's upbringing and must have assumed primary responsibility for their care. This could be demonstrated through evidence of day-to-day involvement, such as providing accommodation, financial support, and being involved in the child's education or healthcare decisions. The eligibility criteria may specify an age limit for the child. Generally, children under the age of 18 are more likely to be covered by these provisions, but there can be exceptions in certain circumstances.
Eventhough I applied as a Zambrano carer, I am also a family member who completed 5 years residence. Since I obtained the right to permanent residence, my residence rights have not ended. The FtT judge accepted I am a family member and a Zambrano carer. He also accepted the fact that I have resided continuously in the UK since YYYY. The WA gives family members the right to permanent residence after five years. This right can not be taken away unless the applicant leaves the UK for 5 years. Title 2, Chapter 1, Article 18 of the Withdrawal Agreement says the host country must help applicants to prove their eligibility and to avoid any errors or omissions in their applications and give applicants the opportunity to furnish supplementary evidence and to correct any deficiencies, errors or omissions.
I am committed to cooperating fully with the Home Office and providing any additional information required to facilitate a fair assessment of my situation. I am confident that, with your support, we can address any concerns or doubts regarding my eligibility for permanent residence.
Furthermore, I would like to emphasize my contributions to the UK community during my time here. I have been actively involved in various community initiatives, volunteering my time and skills to support local charities and organizations. I strongly believe in the values and principles that underpin the United Kingdom, and I am committed to making positive contributions to society.
I understand that the Home Office is responsible for safeguarding the interests of the nation and ensuring compliance with immigration regulations. In light of this, I would be grateful for the opportunity to meet with you or a representative from your department to discuss my case further. Such a meeting would enable me to provide additional information and address any concerns directly, thereby helping to establish a clearer picture of my situation.
I kindly request that you review my case with the utmost consideration and undertake a thorough reassessment of the available information. I am confident that, upon careful examination, the decision to refuse my visa application can be reconsidered in a fair and just manner.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I request confirmation of receipt as soon as possible and a response within 20 business days. I look forward to the opportunity to work collaboratively with you and the Home Office to demonstrate my right to permanent residence in the United Kingdom.
Yours sincerely,
[Your Name]
