answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/04/2019 answer text <p>In May 2018, the Home Secretary announced that Afghan interpreters, who worked alongside British Forces in Afghanistan, and their family members who relocate to the UK can apply for settlement free of charge after five years’ residence here.</p><p>It was never our intention to expect Afghan local staff who relocated to the UK to return to Afghanistan. The changes to the Immigration Rules pro-vide reassurance that they can continue to build their lives and future in the UK. In addition, given the risks that Afghan interpreters faced, includ-ing threats to safety, as a direct result of their work alongside UK forces on the front line, we believe it was appropriate to provide a fee exemption.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 04/04/2019 16:30:05 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
