Model Answer May 2019 OISC Level 3 Immigration Paper
This document is a comprehensive model answer to the OISC Level 3 Immigration examination paper (May 2019). It begins with the exam instructions and a detailed client scenario involving Precious, a South‑African visitor who overstayed, and her husband Pedro, a dual Brazilian‑Portuguese national with a prior permanent residence document. The model answer addresses nine exam questions, providing a structured advisory letter to Precious on partner applications under Appendix FM, an analysis of Pedro’s post‑Brexit immigration status under the EEA regulations, possible applications under Appendix EU, prospects for both spouses, remedies for refused applications, and procedural advice for a separate case involving Moses and Aneni (including time‑limits for appeals, confidentiality duties, a skeleton argument for a First‑tier Tribunal hearing, and further appeal routes to the Upper Tribunal). Each answer cites relevant immigration rules, statutory provisions, case law, and procedural rules, and evaluates the likelihood of success for the various applications.
