The Process BREXIT Might Take Some Time

The process of Britain's exit from the European Union might not be that easy as it may sound.

Even if the Article 50 has been triggered, it would take another two years to negotiate the exit routes and change in trade and other regulations. Although Article 50 has only been created in 20009, it has never been used so it raises a lot of questions about the actual processes and he time frame that Britain  might have to consider.

The terms of Britain's exit will have to be agreed by 27 national parliaments, a process which could take some years, he has argued. EU law still stands in the UK until it ceases being a member. The UK will continue to abide by EU treaties and laws, but not take part in any decision-making.

Why the process might take an unprecedented time:

Changing almost 43 years of treaties and agreements which currently affect the lives of millions of people might nit be that simple. It is a highly complicated process, and since it is fairly a new move and have never been done before, negotiations might not be something predictable. The fact that the discussions needs the unanimous approval of more than 30 national and regional parliaments across Europe, some of whom may want to hold referendums, maker sit a very prolonged process.

Meanwhile the businesses and the trade will go and people would not cease working, albeit on a sluggish rate. Britain would need the manpower and people would be willing to  take up the opportunities. Interested and eligible people although might now need professional UK Visa Application Help to take care of their requirements and legal hassles.

Sham marriages - A challenge to UK Immigration Control

Marriages of convenience or so called sham marriages are also referred to as sham civil partnerships. These are civil partnerships or marriages that are contracted for the sole purpose of gaining an immigration advantage by two individuals who are not in a genuine relationship. The increasing incidence of such arrangements is posing a threat of significant nature to the UK immigration control. As per the estimates provided by the UK Home Office, the number of such applications ranges from 4,000 – 10,000 applications a year. Thus, every year such a high number of applications a year are filed on the basis of civil partnership or sham marriages as per the classification of Immigration Rules or under the Immigration (European Economic Area) regulations 2006. To combat these, the Immigration Bill was enacted upon by the UK government and provides some key alterations:

Those notices of marriages which appear to bring benefit in immigration terms involving a non-EEA national would be referred to Home Office – who would have the discretion to decide if the civil partnership should be investigated for being a sham or genuine.

Except in certain circumstances, non EEA nationals, would only be permitted to marry in either the Church of England or the Church of Wales.

Marriages which follow civil partnerships in England and Wales would be scheduled for a 28 days notice period.

Those marriage notifications, which have been referred to the Home Office are to be assessed for risk profiles and factors.

Home office exercises the discretion to extend the notice period to 70 days, if it feels that the marriage is a sham.

If any couple under this investigation during the notice period is suspected or does not comply, shall be unable to enter into a marriage.

In addition other changes have also been recommended and are necessary to minimize exploitation of immigration regulations, sometimes even the genuine relationships and applications may be erred upon. Thus it is best to file for any Visa related query/application through lawyers who are authorised to give UKimmigration advice.

Calls for Further Referendum on Brexit Ruled Out

Mr. Ed Miliband, the former Labour leader has ruled out the possibility of another referendum on UK’s membership of European Union. He said that the vote made to Leave in June has to be respected and UK cannot change its stand now.  At the same time, there are some Labour and Lib Dem MPs who have stated that they will resist starting formal Brexit talks unless ministers assure a subsequent vote on the final deal.

Mr Miliband also called for restrictions on freedom of movement rules in the United Kingdom.  Furthermore, the government is appealing against a High Court ruling that states about seeking the approval of Parliament before it triggers Article 50 – the system through which member states exit from the EU.

The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said that his party will not ask to “frustrate” the Article 50 process but many of his MPs have decided to go against it if there is voting for same in the House of Commons in early 2017.  Although he supported calls for a parliamentary vote on Article 50, Mr. Ed Miliband mentioned that he did not agree with MPs threats to withhold their support unless some conditions were met. Although he sympathises with the 48% of the Remain voters who were angry and frustrated by the Brexit voting result, he mentioned that the result has to be respected and cannot be changed now.

People applying for UK citizenship are already consulting immigration lawyers in London to see if and how can they stay in the country.  

Britain’s Tough New Stand on Immigration

The decision to leave the European Union has already shown that Britain is no longer willing to accommodate non-nationals in its political territory. Since Brexit and the resignation of Mr. David Cameron as the Prime Minister of Britain, a number of government officials have talked about the new, tougher laws that will now control immigration.

This is not restricted to immigration from European countries. In early October this year, UK had also unveiled plans to further its crackdown on immigration through "work and study routes" from non-EU countries. It is a move that can make it difficult for British firms to hire their workforce from countries such as India. Home Secretary Amber Rudd specified at the annual Conservative Party conference in Birmingham that she will look at different options to reduce migration. This means that the work for immigration lawyers in London and in other areas of Britain is more challenging. To help their clients in legal migration, they need to put in extra efforts.

Meanwhile, former cabinet minister Peter Lilley also told a BBC programme that Britain is the sole authority to decide how it will manage its borders and immigration is not a matter for dialogue with the rest of EU.

The country however does need talented people who can contribute to its economy and non-nationals serious about settling in the UK for legal reasons can discuss their options with experienced immigration experts. 

Post Brexit changes to toughen stand on Student Visas

Top UK Immigration Lawyers

Among the major changes which would be hitting the immigration scene badly in UK post Brexit, the international students would also be taking a major chunk of burn. The UK movement which started to curb the rising migration in the country is believed to target the international students who come in the country to study and also hope to get opportunities for work. The government want to break the link between studying and settling down in the country for further work.

Since it came to power, the government has tried to make it more difficult for international students to stay in the UK after completing their studies, as part of its failed plan to cut net immigration to below 100,000 per year and reduce visa fraud. The most significant step in this direction was the scrapping of the post-study work visa in 2012. This had allowed non-EU students to stay in the UK and work for up to two years after graduation.

The current system allows the students irrespective of their talents and the university’s quality, favourable employment prospects when they stop studying. But the new rules would put an end to this. Now the new rules would bring about major changes for the students coming to study “low quality programs” in Britain. The new rues also discourages these students to take up further jobs and prolong their stay than the course tenure.

Amidst all these confusions, several international students are found to seek specialised legal help in order to tackle the situation. If you find yourself in any such situation or need an expert advice pertaining to some case, contact top UKimmigration lawyers of Fusco Immigration.
