Hi

Are you affected by by the new changes to the immigration rules?
From 29 February 2008 refusal of entry clearance or leave to enter, cancellation of leave or refusal to vary leave will be mandatory where false representations have been made or false documents submitted, whether or not these are material to the application and whether or not the applicant knew that such representations were being made or documents submitted.

Thanks

The Immigration Rules of the United Kingdom are laid down by Parliament and provide the framework within which entry to the United Kingdom is administered. The requirements for Leave to Enter or Leave to Remain under different categories of the Rules are provided as well as providing an authority for Refusing Leave to Enter or Remain. The Immigration Rules and any amendments are available in their entirety from the Home Office UK Border Agency website. At the moment, staff hold a mixture of powers granted to them by their status as immigration officers and customs officers. Immigration control within the United Kingdom is governed by the Common Travel Area (CTA) agreement that allows freedom of movement within an area that encompasses Great Britain, Northern Ireland, Isle of Man, Channel Islands and the Republic of Ireland. Entry to any of the above essentially allows entry to all the others but it is the responsibility of the person entering to ensure that they are properly documented for entry to other parts of the CTA. Despite the CTA it is still possible to be deported from the UK to the Republic of Ireland and vice versa.
