Dear Home Office,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Home Office's handling of my FOI request 'B5JSSK guidance'.
If it is not possible to provide the document in full, please can you provide a redacted version. The process for B5JSSK nationals is not currently published publicly in a clear form and is causing confusion for individuals and representatives, including in what circumstances a landing stamp may still be endorsed and what information the Home Office is holding that people may be able to request in the future to accurately note absences for indefinite leave to remain applications and how six months is calculated for visitors for the purposes of determining the date a visitor must depart the UK by. If any or all of this information is held in this document it would be very helpful to have it in the public domain.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/b...
Yours faithfully,
Kathryn Denyer

Dear Ms Denyer
We apologise for the delay. As you are aware the information which you have requested is being considered and unfortunately this is taking more time than anticipated. As a brief background - our role is to look at how the original request was handled and confirm to the requester if the response was correct.
We aim to respond to internal review requests within 20 working days, or 40 working days for a complex request.
If information is proposed for release at the internal review stage then it would require certain departmental clearances- all of this takes time. We can assure you that your request is being dealt with.
