Marie, in practice MPs will try to help anyone living in their area, irrespective of whether they are on the electoral register or not. Don't overlook the fact that there are many legal immigrants in the UK who are not on the electoral register, and have no right to be on it. Only British, Commonwealth and EU citizens can be on the electoral register ... no one else can be ... even if they are legally in the UK.Marie B wrote:If you are not on the electoral register can you ask for an appointment with your local MP? This would only be a problem if you are currently here illegally
It is great that Long Residence is part of the Immigration Rules, but anyone claiming to use those provisions should not overlook paragraph 276B(ii), which effectively gives a lot of discretion to IND, or at least requires them to investigate each application very carefully ... a long process.Long residence
Long residence in the United Kingdom
276A. For the purposes of paragraphs 276B to 276D:
(a) "continuous residence" means residence in the United Kingdom for an unbroken period, and for these purposes a period shall not be considered to have been broken where an applicant is absent from the United Kingdom for a period of 6 months or less at any one time, provided that the applicant in question has existing limited leave to enter or remain upon their departure and return, but shall be considered to have been broken if the applicant:
(i) has been removed under Schedule 2 of the 1971 Act, section 10 of the 1999 Act, has been deported or has left the United Kingdom having been refused leave to enter or remain here; or
(ii) has left the United Kingdom and, on doing so, evidenced a clear intention not to return; or
(iii) left the United Kingdom in circumstances in which he could have had no reasonable expectation at the time of leaving that he would lawfully be able to return; or
(iv) has been convicted of an offence and was sentenced to a period of imprisonment or was directed to be detained in an institution other than a prison (including, in particular, a hospital or an institution for young offenders), provided that the sentence in question was not a suspended sentence; or
(v) has spent a total of more than 18 months absent from the United Kingdom during the period in question.
(b) "lawful residence" means residence which is continuous residence pursuant to:
(i) existing leave to enter or remain; or
(ii) temporary admission within section 11 of the 1971 Act where leave to enter or remain is subsequently granted; or
(iii) an exemption from immigration control, including where an exemption ceases to apply if it is immediately followed by a grant of leave to enter or remain.
Requirements for indefinite leave to remain on the ground of long residence in the United Kingdom
276B. The requirements to be met by an applicant for indefinite leave to remain on the ground of long residence in the United Kingdom are that:
(i) (a) he has had at least 10 years continuous lawful residence in the United Kingdom; or
(b) he has had at least 14 years continuous residence in the United Kingdom, excluding any period spent in the United Kingdom following service of notice of liability to removal or notice of a decision to remove by way of directions under paragraphs 8 to 10A, or 12 to 14, of Schedule 2 to the Immigration Act 1971 or section 10 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 Act, or of a notice of intention to deport him from the United Kingdom; and
(ii) having regard to the public interest there are no reasons why it would be undesirable for him to be given indefinite leave to remain on the ground of long residence, taking into account his:
(a) age; and
(b) strength of connections in the United Kingdom; and
(c) personal history, including character, conduct, associations and employment record; and
(d) domestic circumstances; and
(e) previous criminal record and the nature of any offence of which the person has been convicted; and
(f) compassionate circumstances; and
(g) any representations received on the person's behalf.
Indefinite leave to remain on the ground of long residence in the United Kingdom

Refusal of indefinite leave to remain on the ground of long residence in the United Kingdom
276D. Indefinite leave to remain on the ground of long residence in the United Kingdom is to be refused if the Secretary of State is not satisfied that each of the requirements of paragraph 276B is met.

is there a meaning in netiquette terms for writing legal in upper case
I agree - it removes a lot of the uncertainty in people's lives. I wonder how many applications HO have received. It seems to me that, if a lot of people have now put their heads above the parapet as a result, the rule change has the potential to slow an already lengthy process down to a crawl - and that, if everyone chases the progress of their applications, that could slow things down even more, with staff spending their time dealing with replying to reminders, rather than processing the applications....John wrote:....It is great that Long Residence is part of the Immigration Rules, but anyone claiming to use those provisions should not overlook paragraph 276B(ii), which effectively gives a lot of discretion to IND, or at least requires them to investigate each application very carefully ... a long process.
