Written question asked by Lloyd Russell-Moyle (Labour) on Monday, 23 January 2023, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 30 January 2023 (named day). It was answered by James Heappey (Conservative) on Tuesday, 31 January 2023 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.


Afghanistan: Resettlement

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether an applicant for Leave Outside The Rules for the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy scheme is permitted to make a simultaneous claim to the Afghan Citizen Resettlement Scheme.

Answer

Leave Outside the Rules was the previous way of applying for Additional Family Members (AFM) under the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP). AFM are now included within the ARAP immigration rules.

ARAP eligibility entitles individuals to apply for AFM under ARAP only, not the Afghan Citizen Relocation Scheme. This makes it highly unlikely that principals would consider AFM and ACRS simultaneously.
