Actually, holders of indefinite leave to remain are also subject to immigration control, the only difference is that they have no time limit and conditions on their stay.sakura wrote:If you are on a spouse visa, it is not the same as PR (ILR), as you are still subject to immigration control.
Oh yes, of course, since they are not naturalised yet. I wonder how many have had their ILRs revoked, and they subsequently removed from the UK. Any stats on that?Dawie wrote:Actually, holders of indefinite leave to remain are also subject to immigration control, the only difference is that they have no time limit and conditions on their stay.sakura wrote:If you are on a spouse visa, it is not the same as PR (ILR), as you are still subject to immigration control.
I have no figures to hand, but it's rare for someone with ILR to be removed from the country. The general basis of ILR has been that it is possible to make one's home in the UK with that status, and this remains true.Oh yes, of course, since they are not naturalised yet.

Whilst there is no exact definition of the term "subject to immigration control" within the Immigration Act, it normally means someone with some form of restrictions on period of their stay and other conditions. ILR-holder is usually viewed as someone "settled" in the UK by many authorities, such as BIA, local government, DWP, etc., thus not being subject to immigration control anymore. Naturally, ILR can be revoked but those are rare cases, such as for example, when it was obtained by deception, that following the return of the recognised refugee to the country they sought protection from or those cases, of course, when the holder committed serious crime.Dawie wrote: Actually, holders of indefinite leave to remain are also subject to immigration control, the only difference is that they have no time limit and conditions on their stay.
Anyone who, on arrival in the UK, requires the permission of an immigration officer to enter the country is "subject to immigration control". This includes holders of ILR who always need to seek permission to enter the UK despite their settled status. This effectively means immigration officers have the right to question them as to the nature of their stay, how long they have been away, what their profession is, etc, etc, and ultimately make a decision not to admit them.Jeff Albright wrote:Whilst there is no exact definition of the term "subject to immigration control" within the Immigration Act, it normally means someone with some form of restrictions on period of their stay and other conditions.
