Is this genuine? (Windrush Damage control)

[Nah18]

Hello everyone,
this message (below) keeps going around on whatsapp, can anyone confirm this is real?


"Please pass on to someone in UK knows someone who knows a person with no papers UK Visa Indefinite Leave to Remain.

The UK Home Office is issuing Visas in silence as a brief amnesty to those who have been living in UK with no papers for past 10 years.

They need to GET (P) form Version 07/2018 that needs to completed

IGNORE what it is says on the form that Application for Asylum or Humanitarian Protection and for a biometric immigration document.
Ignore all that.

Include a copy of child's UK birth certificate, marriage certificate if you have + required photos including the child.

Ignore BRP section 1.10. Ignore Home Office Section 3.6.


FOCUS on Section 5.18, mention yourself the Parent accompanying a child under 18 for Biometric.

Due to The Windrush crisis and Brexit, it is a silent action from the Home Office.

For those with no Children, you still need to complete same form and ingore the child details but complete Section 3 if you have family already in UK.

PLEASE CHECK DETAILS FIRST with A GOOD IMMIGRATION LAWYER .......


If you know anyone with NO PAPERS - the Home Office is giving people legality to stay quietly due to the Windrush scandal.

The 10year Rule is back."

I would be very suspicious of the message for multiple reasons.

a) If the Home Office is doing it *silently*, we would not know about it, by definition.

b) The SET (P) form Version 07/2018 is for people with refugee or humanitarian protection. The Windrush scheme has a completely different form and set of rules.

c) There was never a 10 year rule for people with no papers. There used to be a 14 year rule for such people, but that was withdrawn in 2012.

It sounds like it was a WhatsApp message. I would be wary of believing most of the forwards on WhatsApp.
