I have a client who has been rejected for a visitor's visa based on A34(1)(f) inadmissibility because she formerly worked for the KGB between 1960-1990. Does anybody know if this can be overcome? Or is she wasting her time trying? Does the Visa Officer have the authority to grant H&C consideration if we request it?
 
No H&C for TRV’s. No appeal process either. You can apply for a judicial review, but that will only consider error in law, and only if the courts agree to hear it. Given her past “employment” she is considered a security risk and I doubt will ever be admissible.

Sure hope you’re not an immigration consultant, otherwise I’d also suggest she find a new one.

Thanks for the reply. Easy on the attitude, Buletruck.

You need to hire an immigration lawyer at this point if you want to try to overcome this.

Were they also members of KGB? If so, I think getting an opinion from an immigration lawyer can help.
