I know No FM says he's out of this but I'll still say while I think it needs more nuance.
>> If you wish to change your visa you go out to do it.
Suppose you're in well paid work in the NHS or a University and paying taxes etc. Because of a change in your job you have to move to a different tier of visa. You have to go back to India to do that? That's expensive, disruptive to both employee and employer and carries risk that employee goes somewhere more friendly. That just looks vindictive; shades of the hostile environment.
>> Appeals should not be handled in country.
Of course they should. It's been repeatedly found that appellants abroad are disadvantaged in conducting their appeals. It effectively allows on party to the appeal, the Home Office to hobble the appellant. There's a Supreme Court decision that says exactly that. Amelia Gentleman's book on Windrush gives crystal clear examples. .
And the idea that you claim Asylum out of country is nonsense in stilts.
