This webinar looks at how partners and parents who cannot meet one or more of the requirements set out in Appendix FM can still make successful immigration applications by relying on exceptional circumstances.
What if someone is unable to meet the minimum income requirement of £29,000 to join their partner in the UK? How can a parent with no immigration status apply to stay in the UK with their child?
In this webinar, we explain how family members can apply for permission to enter or remain in the UK by relying on the exceptional circumstances provisions.
We cover paragraphs EX.1 and GEN of Appendix FM in the immigration rules which allow for exceptions to be made in certain situations, for example, where there are “insurmountable obstacles” to family life continuing abroad or where a refusal could breach Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. We’ll be focusing on key problems, offering practical solutions and providing insight into the art of making successful applications.
Barry O’Leary is a partner at Wesley Gryk and has expertise in applications based on partnership and family. He is listed by the Chambers Directory as a Band 1 leader in the field and by the Legal 500 as a leading individual.

Detailed but not overwhelming. The examples where good and illustrated complex parts well. The quiz at the end was very good.
Well written and exam focused.
I thought the test questions were helpful. The language used was clear. The visuals for more complicated parts of the rules were great.
Very clear language, useful examples, links to relevant further information, legislation, etc.
