    RCN Landmark victory for member facing deportation

    could be good news for those effected by the recent changes

    The RCN Immigration Advice Service, in collaboration with RCN Legal Services, has helped win a landmark victory in the immigration courts for a health care assistant member under threat of deportation, following the new rules around minimum pay requirements.

    Under the new rules, which changed since the member first came to the UK, she had to be earning at least £7.02 per hour to be granted indefinite leave to remain in the UK after five years. However health care assistants, despite playing such a vital role in health care services, frequently earn significantly less than this.

    Commenting on the case, the judge said that “having admitted her at a certain wage level and led her to believe that settlement was probable at the end of a five-year period, it is very harsh to refuse her because of a recent change of policy that operated on employers and not employees.” The Home Office has requested permission to appeal the ruling and the RCN is now awaiting that decision.
