Practical questions and answers

Prepare the latest draft, annexes, offer and a list of questions. If the contract has already been signed, include amendments and explain what concerns you.

Start by identifying the messages relevant to the term being reviewed and their context. Briefly describe the issue in your initial enquiry; we will agree how to share documents separately.

List available and missing records and note when and how you requested them. Do not wait to collect every document before clarifying the filing deadline and necessary action. Collecting records or having a consultation does not itself submit an application to the Commission.

No. An enquiry to Opus Justitia is not an application to the Commission. If a deadline may be relevant, provide key dates and separately agree any procedural action needed.

For a review, compare the template with your workplaces and tasks. Having a file alone does not establish whether it fits the circumstances or how it is used in practice.

Prepare the complete letter and annexes, its deadline and relevant existing records. Briefly explain the assistance needed in your initial enquiry; we will agree how to transfer documents.

The documents needed must be clarified against the application type, basis and individual circumstances. Start by preparing a summary of your situation and any system messages received.

Provide the exact expiry date, application type and current stage. Do not rely solely on another person’s experience: the conditions for staying and working need individual assessment.

Choose one process and describe its data, systems and responsible people. Expand this initial list as you review further processes.

An initial discussion of processes generally needs a description of data fields and how they are used, rather than real customer records. If examples are needed, we will agree a safe way to provide them.

Yes. Explain the review’s purpose and provide the signed version with amendments. If a disagreement has arisen, include a chronology and the relevant records.

Identify the missing annex and what you know about it. Do not guess its contents. The review will need to clarify whether an annex was agreed and which version was used.
