APPEALS, REFUSALS & IMMIGRATION PROBLEMS
Section 3C Leave
About Section 3C Leave
Section 3C leave is the legal mechanism that extends your existing immigration permission while an in-time application, administrative review or appeal is still pending. It protects your right to live and, in most cases, work in the UK during that period. Problems arise when the Home Office disputes whether 3C leave applies, often around late applications, withdrawn applications or onward challenges. RakLAW advises on whether section 3C leave covers you, evidences it to employers and helps resolve disputes with the Home Office.
Who this is for
- Applicants waiting on an in-time decision
- Workers whose right to work has been questioned
- People with a pending appeal or review
- Anyone unsure whether their leave still continues
How RakLAW helps
- Assess whether section 3C leave applies
- Evidence continuing leave to employers and landlords
- Resolve Home Office disputes over status
- Advise on next steps if 3C cover is lost
