Home Office Stateless policy is designed to assist those who do not qualify for protection but are unable to return to the country of their former habitual residence because they are stateless and would not be admitted to any other country. The requirements are set out in the Immigration Rules and reflect our obligations under the 1954 UN Convention relating to the status of stateless persons.
Home Office shares information on the number of Stateless applications received and those removed with UNHCR. The Home Office continues to provide regular updates to UNHCR. UNHCR releases information on annual global stateless trends. The information requested can be found using the following links:

As part of the ongoing Home Office programme to digitise applications, we have launched a number of online options. One of these allows some EEA nationals to submit online applications for Permanent Residency. This is currently limited to single applicants. UK Visas & Immigration are working towards digitalising all application routes. The intention is to enable customers to apply online across our services and immigration routes in a straight-forward and customer-focused way.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how long, on average, students wait for a decision on funding if they require the Home Office to confirm to Student Finance England that their immigration status makes them eligible to apply for that funding.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how long, on average, students wait for a decision on funding if they require the Home Office to confirm to Student Finance England that their immigration status makes them eligible to apply for that funding.
The Home Office works to an agreement to confirm decisions on eligibility for student funding within 10 working days. Regulatory changes that created a new long residency category of customers made earlier in 2016 have resulted in an increase in numbers of customers being referred for checks with the Home Office. This has led to an increase in processing times for such checks. Extra resource has now been provided to increase the volume completed by 25% per day.
It is the responsibility of individual students to provide the necessary evidence in support of their application. My officials are working with the Home Office to explore what additional support or alternative solutions can be provided to increase the speed of immigration status checks.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what discussions she has had with the Secretary of State for the Home Department on the quota of 20 immigration status checks per day allocated to Student Finance England.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps have been taken to reassure EU nationals currently living in the UK that they will enjoy the same rights of residency and work status that they currently enjoy after the UK has left the EU.
The Prime Minister has been clear that she wants to protect the status of EU nationals already living in the UK, and the only circumstances in which that wouldn’t be possible is if British citizens’ rights in other EU Member States were not protected in return.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many applicants for student finance for the 2016-17 academic year are still awaiting a decision; and how many of those applicants are awaiting an immigration status check before their eligibility can be decided.
As of 13 December 2016, 1,342 customers are awaiting an immigration status check with the Home Office before their eligibility can be decided.

Employers wishing to sponsor non-EEA nurses must do so under the Tier 2 (General) category, which is subject to an annual limit of 20,700 places. Those occupations such as nurses that are currently on the Shortage Occupation List are prioritised within the limit.
My Lords, these amendments again seek to provide in the Bill that a police or immigration officer exercising the powers in Clauses 161 and 162 to require a suspected foreign national to state their nationality and provide their nationality documents on request must act reasonably.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what representations she has received on changing her policy on the number of international students admitted annually to study in the UK; and if she will make a statement.

I am sorry but the Home Office does not hold the specific information in the format requested. To obtain it would involve interrogating individual case records, at disproportionate cost.

There are a number of options as to how EU migration might work once we have left the European Union. We are considering various options and it would be wrong to set out further positions at this stage.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many legal aid applications for exceptional funding in relation to immigration matters were refused on means grounds in each of the last four years; and of those decisions how many were subsequently overturned.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many legal aid applications for exceptional funding in relation to immigration matters were refused on means grounds in each of the last four years; and of those decisions how many were subsequently overturned.
We believe that the exceptional case funding (ECF) scheme is functioning as intended. Its purpose is to provide funding where it is legally needed. Every ECF application is carefully considered by the Legal Aid Agency on an individual basis.
The volume of ECF applications refused on means grounds since April 2013, by financial year, is provided in the table below.
Financial year | Quarter (if Applicable) | Volume |
2013-14 |
| 2 |
2014-15 |
| 6 |
2015-16 |
| 12 |
2016-17 | Q1 only | 4 |
Of these 24 applications, none of the refusal decisions were subsequently overturned. We have here used the definition of an “overturned decision” to be where a solicitor has set out that the original ECF means assessment was incorrect, as opposed to where further means information later in time led to a subsequent application being granted for the same individual for immigration proceedings.
