The UK Border Agency has issued new policy guidance following the judgments in the cases of Secretary of State for the Home Department v Pankina [2010] EWCA Civ 719.
The guidance affects migrants under all tiers of the points-based system whose applications were refused solely because they failed to meet the maintenance (funds) requirements, and who unsuccessfully applied:
- from outside the UK between 23 June and 22 July 2010 inclusive; or
- from inside the UK (at a time when they had lawful status in the UK) on or before 22 July 2010.
The new policy guidance, which you can download from the UKBA website, explains how these applicants can request a review of their refusal.

It would be really brilliant if Teresa May would also repeal the statutory instrument of 2006 and restore the rights to children of British mothers who seem to have their right of abode distorted by the SI regulation which has attempted to impose control over those persons not subject to control. Under the newest changes even immigrants can evidence their right to work using an expired passport but not those who have the right of abode who are either children of British citizens born before 1983 or British citizens themselves who have dual nationality. The last government put in policies that discriminated against this group simply because they were born of a British mother before 1983 and had a commonwealth father. They UKBA have also used the 2006 act unlawfully by suggesting that a right of abode is persons are subject to immigration control!
Section 15 of the 2006 explanatory notes state the following:-
“EMPLOYMENT
The provisions:
• create a power for the Secretary of State to apply a civil penalty, determined by a
Code of Practice, to an employer of an adult subject to immigration control who
has not been granted leave to enter or remain, whose leave is invalid, has ceased
to have effect (whether by reason of curtailment, revocation, cancellation,
passage of time or otherwise) or whose conditions of entry or stay prevent them
from undertaking the employment.”
The 2006 Regulation Section 8 states
8. A certificate of entitlement shall cease to have effect on the expiry of the passport or travel document to which it is affixed.
The Certificate of Entitlement states the following on it
“Valid for presentation at a United Kingdom port within the validity of the passport”
A person who has the right of abode does not lose this right just because their passport expires. The certificate is not a work permit and has nothing that says to that effect and yet contrary to the 1971 primary legislation the UKBA have applied both direct and indirect control over a persons right to work.
“All those who are in this Act expressed to have the General
right of abode in the United Kingdom shall be free to live in, principles.
and to come and go into and from, the United Kingdom without
let or hindrance except such as may be required under and in
accordance with this Act to enable their right to be established
or as may be otherwise lawfully imposed on any person.”
The UKBA is blatently hindering the rights of such person by using the expiry of their travel document to control such persons right to work.
