Tier 4 surgery: switching, lost licences and other problems
Tier 4 has confused students, colleges and lawyers alike. New rules on switching and attempts to bind a student to a particular college are leading to all sorts of new problems. Louise is an experienced solicitor in this area and will go through the sorts of problems with which she has helped clients as well as taking questions.
PBS applications and evidence: getting it right and remedies
Many have been caught out by the strict and sometimes impossible requirements of the Points Based System. Robert has assisted many such clients and looks firstly at common errors, complex and unusual cases and how to avoid getting it wrong in the first place and then looks at the remedies available if something does go wrong. |

Preventing removal: urgent cases
Urgent removals and Rule 39 challenges are becoming more and more common but also more complex. With the relationship between UKBA and the Administrative Court being called into doubt and new previously secret policies being exposed on removals to Sri Lanka and no-notice removals, now is a good time to be reviewing the process, procedure, strategy, tactics and law on urgent removals cases.
Long residence: rules, cases and new policies
DP3/96 and the seven year rule for children may have been scrapped but human rights arguments can fill the void. Azhar looks at new case law on long residence and also the new 2008 policies on long residence for failed asylum seekers and the new policy on discretion to overlook short gaps in lawful residence under the ten year rule. |

Full four day introduction to immigration law
HJT Training has been running this popular course several times a year for five years or so and hundreds of new immigration lawyers have learned their trade this way. It offers a solid introduction to the main aspects of immigration and asylum law and practice, including general immigration law, the Points Based System, EC free movement law, nationality law, human rights law, asylum law and practice, criminal offences and other subjects. The course fee includes a copy of the acclaimed and freshly updated HJT immigration manual.
Many past delegates have used this course as a springboard to success in the LSC accreditation examinations at Level 2 (or OISC Level 3), but the course is also of general interest to students, volunteers and others wanting a thorough introduction to the subject. |

Refugee spouses and their families: getting Entry Clearance
Edward has been granted permission to appeal to the House of Lords in ZN (Afghanistan) [2008] EWCA Civ 1420. He will talk on whether British citizens and family members of refugees can use the refugee family reunion rules, whether those who themselves entered as family members of refugees can use the rules (the tribunal say not in MS (Somalia) [2009] UKAIT 00041) and will also look at A (Afghanistan) [2009] EWCA Civ 825 and the position of new spouses of refugees with only limited leave.
Further fresh claim submissions in asylum cases: the new rules
All further representations now supposedly have to be made in person in Liverpool, as of October 2009, and a new further submissions form has been designed by UKBA. The new rules have caused consternation and confusion. The trainer will look at how the new rules are working so far, whether they can be sidestepped and what the implications are when it comes to further representations, fresh claims and removals. |

Basic two day introduction to immigration law
New for 2010, HJT Training has introduced a condensed version of the popular four day accreditation course. This two day version is pitched at a lower level than the full course and inevitably does not cover as much ground. Be warned at the outset that the trainers will need to move moderately quickly to cover all the necessary ground.
It is aimed at new immigration lawyers seeking accreditation at LSC Level 1 (or OISC Level 2) and may be more suitable to those who are interested in becoming acquainted with immigration and asylum law but for whom a four day course is overkill. |

Automatic refusals: immigration rules 320 and 322 and the ten year ban
Entry Clearance Officers have reacted over enthusiastically to the new automatic refusal rules and there are bound to be future problems with the in-country equivalent rules. Automatic refusals and re-entry ban decisions are being withdrawn under challenge. Colin will look at the respective merits of appeals and judicial reviews as means of challenge and discuss the cases he has been involved with so far. |
