The Byron Burgers are on me.

It does seem to me that they just get rid of people when it's easy to make up the numbers. Been various cases I recall, including a model and a footballer with major contracts, who were doing well in the UK. Since they probably can't get rid of them all, they should concentrate on the criminals or low performers. Reform the current human rights crap if necessary.

Well it's all tick-box now in immigration, no tick, no stay.

This couple came as students, which confers no permanent right to remain expect under 10 yea legal stay rule but students are capped at 5 years study to stop the perennial student loophole.

They hoped to switch to Post study Work visa after, but then it was withdrawn, as many visa schemes are, can't rely on them, and in any case again confers no right to permanent residency. Tough titty.

What they should have done (and probably tried to do) is find a T2 sponsor but lets face it, how can you justify employing a foreign student over an experienced local person? They didn't find one so off they must go, except they are dragging it on using the kids Gaelic education as a lever.

They don't tick the boxes, simple as.

Indeed - keep it simple and nobody can complain.....

Stopped reading after that as it's obviously all made up ...
