Interesting snippet I just spotted while trawling appeals policies for a major update of the Immigration Act 2014 ebook and course:
A person who has an appeal pending can make a fresh application for entry clearance in the same or any other category. There is no requirement for a person to withdraw an appeal.
Comes from section 20 of Appeal procedures: APL01. I’d always have said this was the law but thought that ECOs nevertheless refused to process new applications while there was an outstanding appeal.
Different provisions apply within the UK: it is not possible to make a new application within the UK while an appeal remains outstanding owing to the operation of section 3C of the Immigration Act 1971 and the case of JH (Zimbabwe) [2009] EWCA Civ 78.
