Immigration Act commencement and statement of changes

[Dedworth]

I thought May was going to change the law, if you wanted to appeal you had to appeal from your own country

Once it reaches the North West this will make your neck of the woods less "multicultural" Joe :-

On 3 September I announced that the West Midlands would be the location for the first phase of the implementation of new restrictions on illegal immigrants accessing rented housing.

illegal immigrants accessing rented housing.

What's the numbers involved Dedworth? I wouldn't have thought it was much

You're not going to get a Housing Association house if you're an illegal immigrant

Who cares about the numbers - half a dozen is too many

So illegals never got any visas from dodgy Pakistanis and Nigerians working at Home Office Lunar House - wise up Joe

Quite correct Dedworth.

It's not long since my brother fired a Pakistani guy (ECO) working in one of our visa sections...for selling them.

No doubt the tip of the iceberg.

I couldn't get a Housing Association house having lived here all my life, so doubt this will affect many. Possibly it could have an effect on private rented accommodation, if they have to prove their immigration status. However, there are always the unscrupulous out to make a quick buck.

It took me more than 1 yr of waiting and I've always lived in this area. Unless you've got kids you've little chance.

Private landlords will soon have to check that their tenants are legal

Supposedly private landlords are moaning about having to act as 'immigration officers' (usual exaggerated rubbish).

Well why not ? Prospective tenants are usually charged a few hundred quid by these parasitic letting agents for basically doing sod all, and the property owners also coining it in every month by also doing sod all.
