Working pro bono has is pros and cons....
That's where positive feedback comes in - its so so important for boosting the morale of a pro bono immigration lawyer, working against the system, that is mostly minded to refuse. @samphire_

It has been an absolute pleasure to assist this family in navigating the complexities of post-Brexit UK Immigration Rules.

A few days ago our client was reunited with his family. It took him more than 3 very long years, due to complexities of #EUSS , the lack of good immigration advice availability in the area and delays within the @ukhomeoffice .
We are proud to have been a part of this!

@M_Sumption @SqueakinglyJen @ilonapin @SoniaL77 @EdgewaterLegal You cannot get a fee waiver if relying on income requirement, but only if can rely on adequate maintenance. Not long ago I moved a client from 10 year route in to the 5 year route with a fee waiver as his sponsor was a cater- will save them 2,5 years until ILR.

Attending a @publiclawprojct and @justice_tog training on JRs at the offices of @AllenOvery who were the first to fund my legal work in 2019 and allowed pro bono work at @samphire_ to kick off. How symbolic ❤️

It is not rocket science: Any member(s) of the parliament who talks about supporting & standing together with people in Ukraine but still if they are planning to support the Nationality & Borders Bill at upcoming crucial stages are just being disingenuous

Have to say it as it is

Putin just put Kafka & Orwell to shame: no limits to dictator's imagination, no lows too low, no lies too blatant, no red lines too red to cross.

What we witnessed tonight might seem surreal for democratic world. But the way we respond will define us for the generations to come.

[Gabrielius Landsbergis🇱🇹 @GLandsbergis]

Decision by German government to stop Nord Stream 2 certfication is a timely and strong response to Russian military escalation in Ukraine. Every step that Putin is making in Ukraine has to have a cost.

[Indre Lechtimiakyte @indruttia]

So now this lunatic dictator says that former USSR countries never had statehood identity as they were part of the Russian Empire (#fake). I cannot believe this, but what happens on #Ukraine borders needs to be spoken about.

We need to see people claiming #asylum in the UK as future doctors, lawyers, delivery drivers. Placing people in accommodations like these creates division, not social cohesion. #immigration #RefugeesWelcome #napier

98% of people who cross the Channel in small boats claim asylum, two-thirds are recognised as refugees. For the government to claim otherwise is simply trying to distract from the catastrophic failure of its own policy. Deterrance does not work, we need safe ways to claim asylum.
