Frequently asked questions
Can you provide me with legal advice regarding my case with the UK Home Office?
I cannot offer professional legal advice in my capacity as a Member of Parliament, or in my role as Shadow Justice Secretary. Please see advice services section for organisations that will be able to provide free legal advice
Can you overturn a decision made by the Home Office on my immigration case?
A Member of Parliament has no authority over the Home Office and therefore I will not be able to change any decisions made by the Home Office regarding your case. I can point you in the direction of advice services and/or reputable lawyers who may be able to help you challenge a Home Office decision.
I currently have an outstanding application with the Home Office and my employer is unsure whether I still have the right to work in the UK. Can you help me find out
Yes, I can contact the Home Office on your behalf to gain clarification about your rights to work whilst you carry out an outstanding application with the Home Office.
Can you help me with my friend or relative’s immigration case?
I need to gain consent directly from the individual concerned before I can make any enquiries on their behalf. If they are a Tottenham constituent, please ask them to get in touch with me and I will do my best to help them with their case. If they do not speak English well and would like you to act on their behalf, this is possible, as long as I gain consent directly from them.
You have contacted the Home Office on my behalf but I haven’t received a response yet. Is there a problem?
If I have made representations on your behalf regarding an immigration matter to the Home Office, I will inform you as soon as I receive a response. The Home Office’s response time is usually 20 working days, but it is not uncommon for a response to take longer than this. If you have not heard from me and you have been waiting a very long time, or your situation has changed, please do not hesitate to get back in touch with me.
