Addressing Delay in Home Office Decision-Making - A Step By Step Guide for Immigration Professionals

Introduction

Recent years have seen an increasing number of applications before the Home Office taking months, if not years, to be concluded. This is particularly prevalent in asylum cases, but we see lengthy delays in EUSS applications, family applications and in decisions on nationality matters. The 2020 lockdown did nothing to improve that situation and as a result, many of our clients face lengthy periods in limbo.

This new webinar will provide a detailed look at the options available to those facing delays, and a step by step guide to challenging such delays.

It will also address what to do in cases of real urgency.
