Scotland needs immigration to thrive. This week's Budget doesn't address the impact that the "hostile environment" has on skilled migration, or recompense the highly skilled migrants caught up in the 322(5) scandal. #HighlySkilled #HostileEnvironment #Budget2021 @migrants_rights

"Highly qualified migrants, many of whom work in IT already, who made their home here, who were then treated abysmally by this Government" Thank you Alison Thewliss for raising your voice again for us. And rightly said, so many won't want to come unless they resolve these issues.

Discriminatory profiling of migrants & disproportionate punishment for at worst, non-criminal actions & at best, honest mistakes; treatment of #highlyskilled raises many questions about who we are as a nation, who we accept & who we want to keep becoming. migrantsrights.org.uk/blog/2021/04/2…

This week, we launched our new look Toolkit website - a guide to the asylum and immigration system. Take a look

For people assuming that if the Home Office chap the door to remove a person, they must have done something wrong: it's much more complex than that, errors are made too. Windrush, TOEIC, the Highly Skilled Migrant scandal all prove that, as well as the many cases I see as an MP.

TONIGHT: We report on the highly-skilled migrants wooed here by the UK government, but now being refused indefinite leave to remain over tax errors. FULL REPORT 22:45 on BBC Two #Newsnight | @Lewis_Goodall | Scarlett Barter

Several years ago the govt opened a scheme for highly skilled migrants to settle in the UK. Today, many we’ve spoken to tell us they wish they’d never made the trip having been subject to what they say is unfair treatment by the Home Office which has left them on the edge.

Two of our clients feature in this important BBC Newsnight report. Their lives and the lives of their family members, including young children, have been turned upside down by the Home Office over routine tax amendments ITN Solicitors @migrants_rights

Update: the Home Office chose not to appeal against the FtT’s well-reasoned decision in this tax case. After 5 year long legal battle, the client has today been granted ILR in spite of the fact that his appeal arose out of a Leave to Remain application based on his private life
