the3million has made a submission to the Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration (ICIBI) regarding the Home Office's management of Administrative Reviews (ARs), specifically focusing on the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS). The submission primarily addresses the quality, timeliness, and consistency of decision-making in administrative reviews, highlighting excessive delays and their impacts on individuals.
NEWS
The advocacy organisation the3million has issued a news report on what it terms ‘an alarming increase’ in technical failures identified in the UK Visa and Immigration (UKVI) digital status platform, affecting both EU and non-EU citizens, further to numerous reports made to it on 5 and 6 March 2025. These reports confirmed that the system was erroneously assigning incorrect nationalities to UKVI account holders, listing countries such as Eritrea, Ghana, or Nigeria, or stating ‘invalid country’ whilst also displaying non-existent Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) or Biometric Residence Card (BRC) numbers for individuals who had never possessed these documents (while their correct identity documents were missing from their account). The situation was further exacerbated when the ‘Update your details’ function became inaccessible on 6 March 2025, with no formal communication from the Home Office regarding these issues. In a letter addressed to the Home Office, the3million has asked numerous questions about what has caused the incident, and raised concerns about data privacy implications. It  is also calling for a public inquiry into the system's reliability.

the3million has written to the Home Office expressing concerns about problems in the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) application process. Despite previous acknowledgements of issues and assurances of improved training and quality assurance measures, the organisation reports that applicants continue to face what it terms unreasonable demands for residence evidence. These include requests for previously submitted documents, irrelevant time periods, and incorrect evidence types. The letter asserts that these practices may breach the UK's obligations under the Withdrawal Agreement, particularly Article 18(1)(o), which requires authorities to assist applicants in proving their eligibility and correcting application errors.

the3million, British in Europe and the Immigration Law Practitioners’ Association (ILPA) have written to UK and EU officials proposing mitigating measures for dual nationals affected by the UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) and the EU European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS). The letter follows the Home Office’s rejection of earlier proposals and highlights two policy developments: a temporary concession allowing travel with an expired UK passport issued from 1989 alongside a valid passport of an ETA-eligible nationality, and updated guidance permitting some dual nationals with EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) status to enter the UK using a non-British passport or EU/EEA/Swiss national identity card. The organisations propose further measures, including extending the policy to all UK-based Withdrawal Agreement beneficiaries who are dual nationals, introducing reciprocal arrangements between the UK and EU, and allowing all dual nationals to travel using their non-EU or British passports.

CASE HUB Archived—this archived case hub reflects the position at the date of the decision of 2 February 2021; it is no longer maintained. See further, timeline. Case facts Outline UK merger investigation into the completed acquisition by viagogo of the StubHub business of eBay Inc. The parties overlap in the supply of secondary ticketing exchange platforms. Latest developments On 2 February 2021, the CMA issued its final report in its phase 2 investigation, finding that the transaction has resulted, or may be expected to result, in an SLC within the supply of uncapped secondary ticketing platform services for the resale of tickets to UK events. In particular, the CMA found that the parties competed closely against each other and have no significant competitors. The CMA also found that other distribution channels (capped-price ticketing exchanges, classified ad sites (like Gumtree), social media and the primary ticketing market itself) would not be able to prevent the merged entity from pushing up fees or reducing quality of service. As a result of these concerns, the CMA is requiring viagoo to sell
