On 27 February 2023, the Immigration Appeals Board has upheld our appeal against SIRI's decision, whereby our client's application for a residence document under the Withdrawal Agreement between the EU and the United Kingdom was rejected, since the application was submitted after the application deadline.
In the case, the Immigration Appeals Board has found that SIRI had not fulfilled its duty to provide guidance, since SIRI had not individually and personally advised our client about the application period when he by physical attendance at SIRI got his residence document issued in December 2020.
On this basis, the Immigration Appeals Board has returned the case to SIRI in order for SIRI to decide whether a residence document under the Withdrawal Agreement can be issued for our client.
