We’ve finally put the finishing touches to our comprehensive online training course on Appendix FM to the Immigration Rules. This is the bit of the rules dealing with the entry of family members, including spouses, partners, children, parents and grandparents. We cover the evidential requirements at Appendix FM-SE as well, of course.

This course was a group effort, with Nath Gbikpi and I doing most of the heavy lifting. It also incorporates material from blog posts originally written by Gabriella Bettiga, Nick Nason and Nick Webb.

We’re estimating this one as around 4 CPD hours to give you an idea of approximate length. Of course, lawyers will be aware that CPD hours don’t really exist as such these days, as there’s no minimum number of hours the regulators require lawyers to undertake. But we’re hanging onto the concept as we think it is still a useful guide.

There’s a feedback form at the end and we’re always interested to hear what you think of our courses. If you prefer, you can email us or use the contact form. If there’s demand we can look at turning it into a downloadable ebook, as with some of our other courses.
