New team to help Commonwealth citizens confirm their status in the UK

A new team to help Commonwealth citizens confirm their status in the UK has been announced by the Home Secretary today.​

The new dedicated team will work across government to help individuals identify and gather evidence to confirm their existing right to be in the UK. The team will include a dedicated contact point and aim to resolve cases within 2 weeks once the evidence has been put together. In addition, no one affected will be charged for the documentation which proves their right to be here.
