Navigating Section 3C

Section 3C of the Immigration Act 1971 protects applicants from becoming overstayers in certain circumstances. This training course will focus on what Section 3C is and how it operates.

This course will help you to:

• Learn what Section 3C is and what it does, including who it helps and who it cannot help.
• Identify how Section 3C applies to someone who has their immigration application refused and how that differs from having an application rejected as invalid.
• Recognise when Section 3C starts and ends and when it can be cancelled.

This training is a stand-alone course and will include presentations, the opportunity for you to ask questions and share your experience.

We will not have the opportunity to discuss immigration applications under specific routes such as the Student route, refusals of applications under the Student route or administrative reviews. You can attend our training course on refusals and administrative reviews on 25 & 27 March 2024.  

Who should attend?

This course is for UKCISA members who have a good understanding of the Student route, currently advise Student route applicants, and would like to develop their ability to effectively advise them.
