Good to see my colleague @AnneMcLaughlin challenging the @hmtreasury on their data sharing policies, which have seen @HighlySkilledUK migrants unfairly treated under 322.5 of the immigration rules for making minor and legitimate amendments to their tax returns. #HighlySkilled
Two of our clients feature in this important @BBCNewsnight report. Their lives and the lives of their family members, including young children, have been turned upside down by the Home Office over routine tax amendments @ITNSolicitors @migrants_rights
In 2016 the Government started refusing 1,700 Highly Skilled migrants leave to remain in the UK. Why were all those refused leave non-white?

Harrowing report by @BBCNewsnight last night. We have been speaking to so-called 'Highly Skilled Migrants' as part of Voices From Isolation and the hardships they have faced at the hands of the #HostileEnvironment policies in this country. @migrants_rights @HighlySkilledUK
TONIGHT: We report on the highly-skilled migrants wooed here by the UK government, but now being refused indefinite leave to remain over tax errors.
FULL REPORT 22:45 on @BBCTwo#Newsnight | @Lewis_Goodall | @ScarlettBarter
Several years ago the govt opened a scheme for highly skilled migrants to settle in the UK. Today, many we’ve spoken to tell us they wish they’d never made the trip having been subject to what they say is unfair treatment by the Home Office which has left them on the edge.
Please read @migrants_rights response on behalf #highlyskilled migrants who have been made destitute by the @ukhomeoffice, highlighting how out of touch they are with reality!
Per @TheIFS over 60% UK self-employment tax returns contains discrepancies. @ukhomeoffice tries to justify using those against #highlyskilled migrants, which made them destitute who now can't even afford some of the basic necessities like food & clothes. @migrants_rights response
Despite the ruling, nearly 2 years on, dozens of cases have “fallen through the cracks”, with many still given no opportunity to appeal the accusations – leaving them unable to work or access public services, & their families in severe hardship. @maybulman https://t.co/4VU6QcQ9Nw
'Living like prisoners': Skilled migrants still waiting for justice years on
Nearly 2 years after Home Office decision to strip highly skilled people of their rights was ruled ‘legally flawed’, dozens remain trapped in destitution, finds @migrants_rights
