CHAPTER 7

ECONOMIC MIGRATION: POINTS MEAN PRIZES

Mohammed Imam plied his trade as a chef at a restaurant called Alishaan in Sompting on the south coast of England. He was from Bangladesh, so needed a visa to live and work in the UK. Having entered lawfully in 2010, in 2016 he applied to extend his visa for a further five years and his application was initially granted. But to his surprise – and his employer’s chagrin – a year and a half later, the Home Office wrote to him out of the blue and cancelled the visa. The reason was that ‘under SOC code 5434 in Appendix K of the Immigration Rules it is stated that the job must not be in either a fast food outlet, a standard fare outlet or an establishment which provides a take-away service’. Someone at the Home Office had evidently been googling restaurants, presumably on what lawyers call a ‘fishing expedition’ to try to catch out chefs. ‘There is evidence available on the internet’, the refusal went on, ‘that your prospective employer does offer a take-away service.’
