Private and family life – the latest thinking          

Making a human rights claim is often the only viable way of securing a client’s immigration status. We address a number of issues that frequently entangle even the expert immigration lawyer. In particular:

• The latest thinking on private and family life claims, from the high threshold in adult dependent relative cases to children and when relocation is reasonable
• The new financial requirements for Appendix FM cases
• No more consideration outside the Rules: the genesis of GEN3.2
• Making a human rights claim
• What exactly is a human rights claim? And when is it refused?
• Rights of appeal and testing them in the FTT
• Section 120 notices
• Plotting an appeal strategy – fresh issues, Home Office consent to raise new matters, and arguments inside and outside the Rules
• Further representations, fresh claims, and certification
• Non-suspensive appeals: a new era post-Kiarie?
