I am seeking legal advice on immigration matters
Hello ****, I'm happy to provide general legal information about immigration. Can you please clarify your specific concern? Are you interested in visas, citizenship, asylum, or another issue? Your detailed question will assist me in providing the most accurate information.
What is the time limit for prosecutions for immigration cases of illegal working? I searched some information and it seems that illegal working is a summary offence? So is the time limit for prosecutions 6 months? I want to report a person who worked illegally in the UK while his visa type did not allow that type of work. The case happened *.5 years ago. This person is in the UK now but he has got a new visa and residence permit. If I report to the police about his illegal working, what will happen next? Will the police still investigate this old case?
Hi ****, as an expert in US law, I can provide more precise information on California law. For UK immigration law, I suggest contacting a UK legal professional. However, in general, if a crime is reported, it's up to the police and prosecution to decide whether to pursue it based on evidence, timing, and other factors.
Oh okay
Yes, ****. Generally, the decision to investigate a case rests with the law enforcement and prosecution based on several factors. For information specifically related to UK immigration law, it would be best to contact a UK legal professional.
thanks
You're welcome, ****! If you have any more questions in the future, don't hesitate to reach out. Stay safe!
