Call for proof: circle of relatives reunion

In my 2019-20 inspection plan, I indicated that I would be taking a further look at the Home Office’s management of the circle of relatives reunion applications, having to begin with inspecting this in 2016 and followed up with re-inspections in 2017 (focusing on decisions made in Istanbul) and 2018 (that specialize in Amman).

I aim to examine the family reunion process as a whole, however, with a particular interest in Pretoria packages because this is a fashioned part of the authentic inspection. However, since 2019, the Home Office has been making selections about its family reunion programs within the UK, so the inspection may also examine whether this has made a distinction.

I am inviting our bodies with applicable knowledge and understanding, inclusive of NGOs, teachers, suppose tanks, religious agencies, and consultants our bodies, to jot down to me by 24 June 2019 their assisting proof or case studies they may be capable of percentage.

I might additionally want to acquire proof from people and those who have first-hand experience with their own family reunion utility technique. Still, please note that my remit now does not make it bigger to investigate or make choices about individual cases. This remains a Home Office duty.
