Confused why this wasn't reported.

Whilst sponsors are losing licences, there are no real solutions for victims beyond finding alternative employment. This is not easy despite what you may hear about vacancies. People I speak to have lost everything and are trapped. www.theguardian.com/society/arti...

Sixfold rise in foreign care workers in UK complaining of exploitation

Exclusive: RCN renews call for investigation into sector as unscrupulous employers target vulnerable workers

I’ve not been long in my new job and I’ve already seen examples of what’s described. Of note CQC registered agencies. Agency is banned via skilled worker route - yet I’ve seen several examples of it. Plenty of frameworks / law not enough action. amp-theguardian-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/amp.theg...

Home Office denying visas to children of migrant health workers. Keep seeing these cases. Situation made worse by the lack of a right of appeal. Rules are bad in isolation, but their application is abysmal in my experience. t.co/jTrgECe80L

I think general public would be genuinely shocked by the very low levels of accountability when it comes to changes to immigration rules. Such huge policy / societal implications without a peep of scrutiny. The big future rules changes are really going to showcase this.

Thanks CJ, yes my pals at British in Europe said similar. Totally not a grinch move of course.

The government have responded to this petition on the future minimum income requirement changes. Plenty already known but I wasn’t aware that this was the timeline for raising the levels of income required ☹️ petition.parliament.uk/petitions/65...

Some news from me. I will be Head of Immigration @WORCrights from January. With everything that is happening and will happen in the world of immigration law, I’m really excited to get to work with these amazing people. Let’s go 2024!

I missed this from Friday. Confirms they still don’t know whether those renewing visas will be impacted by the increase to the MIR. Astonishing this position is still not finalised. Adds to the story that this was made up last minute. homeofficemedia.blog.gov.uk/2023/12/08/r...

New statement of changes here: www.gov.uk/government/p... Looks like some more watering down of EU citizen rights, needed changes to visit rules, consolidation of some routes and interestingly removing ‘living together in’ from the partner definition.
