Posted January 26th, 2022 in appeals, carers, children, EC law, government departments, immigration, news by sally

‘The Court of Appeal has dismissed the Home Secretary’s appeal in Akinsanya, finding that she misinterpreted UK law when setting the Immigration Rules for Zambrano carers under the EU Settlement Scheme (‘EUSS’). The result is that she will now need to reconsider, and potentially redraft, the EUSS Rules as they relate to Zambrano carers. This could have a positive impact on thousands of parents of British citizen children in the UK.’
