Revocation of Deportation Order: Understanding the Process

As per paragraph 390 of the Immigration Rules, an application for the revocation of a deportation order is carefully considered, taking into account various factors, including:

  • The grounds on which the deportation order was initially made.
  • Any representations made in support of revocation.
  • The interests of the community, including maintaining effective immigration control.
  • The applicant’s interests, including any compassionate circumstances.

Dealing with Convictions in Revocation Applications

According to paragraph 391 of the Immigration Rules, in cases where an applicant has been deported due to a criminal conviction, continued exclusion may occur under the following circumstances:

  • If the conviction is capable of being spent under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, revocation will not be considered until the conviction is spent within the Act’s meaning. If the conviction is spent in less than 10 years, 10 years must have passed since the deportation order was issued.
  • If the conviction is not capable of being spent under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act, continued exclusion may apply at any time. However, there are exceptions. Revocation may be considered if refusing to do so would contradict the Human Rights Convention or the Convention and Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees.

When Revocation is Considered

Revocation of a deportation order is typically authorized only if the situation has significantly changed since the order was issued. This change may result from:

  • A shift in circumstances since the original order.
  • New information coming to light that was not previously available to the appellate authorities or the Secretary of State.
  • The passage of time since the person was deported, which in itself might warrant revocation of the order.
  • If the conviction is not capable of being spent under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act, continued exclusion may apply at any time. However, there are exceptions. Revocation may be considered if refusing to do so would contradict the Human Rights Convention or the Convention and Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees.

Important Note: Revocation vs. Re-entry

  • It is essential to understand that revocation of a deportation order does not automatically grant the person permission to re-enter the United Kingdom. Instead, it renders them eligible to apply for admission under the Immigration Rules. The application for revocation must be made to the Entry Clearance Officer or directly to the Home Office.
