EU Law Important Update!

Following the introduction of the Immigration (European Economic Area Nationals) Regulations 2019, non-EU extended family members of EU Citizens are now granted a right of appeal against a refusal decision relating to a family permit or residence card.  It is anticipated that the changes will come into force towards the end of this month.

The last couple of years has seen many changes to rights of appeal for extended family members with ultimately appeal rights afforded to  those who had applied under the 2006 Regulations and not the 2016 Regulations.

This too was challenged by way of a Judicial Review which led to the Home Office accepting that the existing regulations should be amended to reflect that applications refused under the 2016 regulations should be granted rights of appeal.

If you have previously had such an application refused, feel free to contact us today to consider your options.
