Deadline extended: Call for evidence - An inspection of the Home Office바카라 사이트s approach to overstayers

The ICIBI invites anyone with knowledge and experience of the Home Office바카라 사이트s approach to overstayers to contribute to this inspection. Deadline extended to close of play 23 April 2025.

The ICIBI has begun an inspection of the Home Office바카라 사이트s approach to overstayers. The Home Office uses the term 바카라 사이트overstayer바카라 사이트 to describe 바카라 사이트a person who was granted limited leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom, but who neither left the country on the date indicated nor asked for the leave to be extended.바카라 사이트 

I am inviting anyone with knowledge or first-hand experience of this subject to submit evidence to inform my inspection. I would be pleased to hear about both what is working well and what could be improved in the following areas: 

  • the identification of potential overstayers during the visa application process 

  • communications with people who are suspected of overstaying 

  • the identification of overstayers in the UK 

  • the Home Office바카라 사이트s management of overstayers 

  • the quality and accessibility of information to deter people from overstaying 

As I have not yet finalised the scope of this inspection, I would be happy to receive any other evidence that falls outside these areas that may be relevant to the Home Office바카라 사이트s approach to overstayers.  

This call for evidence will remain open until close of play 23 April 2025.  

Please also note that information submitted may be quoted in the final inspection report, but it is the ICIBI바카라 사이트s practice not to name sources and any examples or case studies will be anonymised. 

Please click바카라 사이트overstayers@icibi.gov.uk바카라 사이트to email your submission to the Independent Chief Inspector. 

Please note: The바카라 사이트바카라 사이트does not extend to investigating or making decisions about individual cases. This remains a Home Office responsibility. However, the Independent Chief Inspector can and does take an interest in individual cases to the extent that they illustrate or point to systemic problems.
