As such, there has been no substantive change in the ARAP eligibility criteria. Furthermore, the amended immigration rules will not apply retrospectively, and as such only applicants that have not yet undergone eligibility assessments will be assessed under the new rules.</p> answering member constituency Wells answering member printed James Heappey question first answered 06/01/2022 11:21:23 answering member 4528 label Biography information for James Heappey previous answer version 41490 answering member constituency Wells answering member printed James Heappey answering member 4528 label Biography information for James Heappey
