PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Immigration (3 July 2014)

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when the request by Rupert Ogwuezor dated 13 June 2011 for reconsideration of his case (HO reference: 01085860/2) will be determined; and what the reasons are for the time taken to process this case.

Asked by:
Sir Christopher Chope (Conservative)

On 13 November 2012, we published our policy on reconsiderations.
Mr Ogwuezor's case will be considered in line with this policy.
A number of factors have contributed to delays in dealing with such
reconsideration requests including a higher than expected increase in charged
applications for Leave to Remain following the tightening of policy. We have
now focused more resource towards providing swifter decisions and improved
customer service.
Mr Ogwuezor's case has now been considered and we wrote to him on 4 July 2014
notifying him of the outcome.
