Changes in UK Settlement Visa Rules
Changes in the rules of UK Settlement Visas were addressed recently by the Minister for Borders and Immigration, Liam Byrne. Following the updates put in place from April 1st 2008 onwards, the minister was able to clarify a few points that were raised.
It is clear that the changes to the rules on refusal of a UK Settlement Visa were introduced in order to offer a more flexible, fair approach to the strict guidance notes that had previously been put forward without necessarily taking into consideration issues that could not be avoided. This is not to say that the updates to the rules have relaxed in any way, more that, as Mr Byrne said, “…discretion should apply.”
