As long as it isn't CCL or any of the schools that have been blacklisted, then am sure you'll get the passport back with right of appeal IF you get refused.

It is really mind-blowing considering the fact that some are "HO staff", this isn't the best place to get info about issues though esp when you need urgent help 'cos some advice on here can be misleading and their manned helpline aren't even well versed in the law and procedures. If you are at titters end, just make sure you see an Immigration lawyer who has got experience of dealing with UK immigration issues.

Even more deplorable when so-called HO staff do not know what is obtainable and expected of them. If you don't know what happens within the organisation you claim to work for, don't come in here quoting laws which don't depict the actual day to day runnings of the HO. They do not retain passports excepts on grounds similar to those which CCL students find themselves in and the earlier you get that fact right, the better for you. I can't imagine YOU actually represent the HO in court, that's just hilarious!...LOLFrontier Mole wrote:Section 17 of the Asylum and Immigration (Treatment of Claimants, etc.) Act 2004 confers on the Secretary of State the power to retain passports and other documents.
The Act reads:
Section 17 Retention of Documents
Where a document comes into the possession of the Secretary of State or an immigration officer in the course of the exercise of an immigration function, the Secretary of State or an immigration officer may retain the document while he suspects that a person to whom the document relates may be liable to removal from the United Kingdom in accordance with a provision of the Immigration Acts,
and retention of the document may facilitate the removal.
Section 17 came into effect on 1 December 2004.

I also think it is deplorable that certain people believe they know the law and comment on it when it is plainly obvious that they don't.
