The Home Office is refusing settlement applications of Migrant Senior Care Workers because they either have gaps on their visas or they are not paid the minimum salary of £7.02. Some applications were granted after going through strenuous appeals; some do not need to go through so much. Clearly, there are inconsistencies on the way the Home Office deals with these applications, which makes the lives of these valuable workers even more difficult.

Kanlungan is also concern that the new immigration rules will adversely affect Migrant Senior Care Workers who are not yet settled. If you are in this category, please contact us as soon as possible on the above details.

We provide wide range of information and services on settlement.

Our services are for migrant workers regardless of nationality.
