The Kenworthy’s Immigration Team’s response to the Windrush Compensation Consultation.

After a long legal battle led by Mark Schwenk, instructed by Greater Manchester Immigration Aid Unit, the Appellant had gained her retained right of residence card, but was then refused permanent residence. Mark subsequently appeared as counsel in her permanent residence appeal, which was allowed. We are pleased to update that the Appellant has now received her permanent residence card from the Home Office.
