Immigration Law is a straightforward, up-to-date and practical introduction to this ever-changing area of law. After a short, practical introduction in Chapter 1 (which includes a list of useful websites), the book deals with British nationality and the right of abode in the United Kingdom in Chapter 2. This is followed by a detailed analysis of immigration controls in Chapter 3. The pre- and post-Brexit immigration status of EU and EEA nationals and their family members is considered in Chapter 4, along with details of the EU Settlement Scheme. The next four chapters address the key immigration categories of entry to the UK, including chapters on visitors, students, employees and family reunion. Asylum seekers and refugees are considered in Chapter 9. Enforcement of immigration law, the appeals system and judicial review applications are dealt with in the last three chapters. The appendices contain key resource documents including key provisions from the Immigration Rules.
