We continue to work to improve the quality of decision-making to ensure that we properly consider all the evidence provided and get decisions right the first time.</p><p>Appeals are allowed for a variety of reasons including the presentation of fresh evidence, not available at the time of the initial decision. We have a very active feedback system between our presenting officers and those who make decisions on asylum claims. Where our reviews show that there are lessons for the Home Office, these are fed back to decision making units who use them to improve operational practices.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 17/07/2018 16:27:13 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/06/2018 answer text <p>It is not the Government’s policy to refuse applications due to rectification of tax return errors.</p><p>We have refused applications where there are substantial differences – often tens of thousands of pounds – between the earnings used to claim points in an immigration application and an applicant’s HMRC records, without a credible explanation from the applicant. We take all available evidence into account before making a decision. Paragraph 322(5) is used where the evidence shows that an applicant’s character and conduct is such that their application should be refused. Any such case is signed off by a manager before refusal grounds are applied.</p><p>As I advised the Home Affairs Select Committee on 8 May, we are carrying out a review of these cases to see how many showed clear evidence of deceit, and whether any were minor errors.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 13/06/2018 13:32:45 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
