#£900 to fabricate claims In a hotel lounge in London's St Pancras in late February, a young immigration adviser in a smart suit is meeting a client. He has been contacted a few days earlier by a new customer, a recent immigrant from Pakistan. The man explained that he had a problem - he wants to leave his British wife to live with his mistress. But his visa is linked to his marriage; if he separates, he would have to leave the country. On the initial phone call, the adviser, Eli Ciswaka, had been quick to suggest a solution. Unprompted, he told the prospective client to pretend he was the victim of domestic abuse. Now he confirms what he's willing to do. For £900 he will fabricate the claim, creating a story to tell the Home Office in order to secure the client's status in the UK. What he doesn't know is that his customer is really a BBC undercover reporter investigating how some lawyers and immigration advisers are helping migrants break the law by making up stories for them to gain indefinite leave to remain in the UK. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crl19dzdd38o
