answer text <p>There is no maximum distance set on the distance individuals can be asked to travel to report to either a Home Office reporting centre or a police station. <br><br>Current Home Office guidance states that an individual will not normally be required to travel more than 25 miles to report (Reporting – Standards of Operational Practice).<br><br>Any asylum seeker living outside of the three mile radius of their reporting location who receives Asylum Support under Section 95 or Section 4 of the Immigration and Asylum Act of 1999 is eligible to apply for assistance with <br>travel expenses. <br><br>Initially, reporting location is determined on the basis of the postcode of an individual’s proposed address. Further consideration may then be given to the reporting location should the individual raise exceptional circumstances which <br>makes travelling difficult, for example medical issues or pregnancy.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>The information requested covers a broad range of case types and is not held centrally for in country cases. It could only be obtained at a disproportionate cost. For international appeals the average time for allowed appeals to be <br>implemented from October 2013 to September 2014 was 45 calendar days. Information relating to how many international appeals remain outstanding could only be obtained at a disproportionate cost.<br><br>The Home Office has 14 calendar days to consider whether to appeal an allowed First-tier or Upper Tribunal decision (although this can be longer in some Upper Tribunal decisions where the last avenue to appeal is direct to the Court <br>of Appeal) for in country cases and 28 calendar days for out of country cases. The relevant unit responsible for implementation will be notified once a decision has been made not to appeal.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this
