This section provides details of how we can support you in making further reprsentations to the Home Office. Our Immigration Advisors are equipped with the skills and knowledge to tackle your case and provide the correct solution to your problems.

Our Immigration Advisors have detailed knowledge of Immigration and Nationality law, including:

• Grounds for applications.
• UKBA practice in the consideration of cases.
• UKBA concessionary policies.
• Grounds for lodging appeals including human rights grounds.
• British Nationality.
• Administrative reviews on all point based applications.
• Procedures for human rights applications, e.g. One-Stop Notices.

 

Where an application has been submiited and you require further representations to be made to the Home Office, ICS Legal can carry this out. We have a working knowledge of relevant case law and precedents and how to access and use them effectively when making representations on the client's behalf.

We have detailed knowledge of the types of evidence needed to support applications outside the Immigration Rules and how to obtain them, and also the relative weight to be attached to different types of evidence.

Importantly our knowledge of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), the Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA) and other relevant law allow us to construct a case to the Home Office where we feel there is an argument in the point of law and use relevant case laws to support our arguments.

We have a clear understanding and knowledge of immigrationand nationality law and procedure to ensure that we submit a successful case to the Home Office.
