Subject: FW: Clarification on the recent "Statement of Changes in Immigration Rules as laid before Parliament on 16th March 2011".

Dear Mr Kapadia

Thank you for your email of 18 March.

There is no intention to change the approach to those seeking Indefinite Leave to Remain under the terms of the HSMP ILR Judicial Review policy document, we will ammend the Immigration Rules to make it clearer that those who entered the scheme between 3 April 2006 and 7 November 2006 are still required to complete 5 years as the policy document states.

The statement of changes to the Immigration Rules laid before parliament on 16 March 2011 do not come into effect until 6 April 2011, we will be able to use this time to make amendments to the changes.

I hope this clarifies the position.

Kind regards
