The Immigration and Nationality (Fees) Regulations 2009
The Secretary of State specified in the Immigration and Nationality (Fees) Order 2007 (S.I. 2007/807), (as amended by the Immigration and Nationality (Fees) (Amendment) Order 2008 S.I. 2008/166 and second amendment), those matters in connection with immigration or nationality in respect of which a fee was to be charged. The Secretary of State in prescribing a fee for the applications referred to in these Regulations has, relying on section 42(1) of the Asylum and Immigration (Treatment of Claimants, etc) Act 2004, prescribed an amount which is intended to exceed the administrative cost of determining the application and reflect benefits that she thinks are likely to accrue to the person who makes the application or to whom the application relates, if the application is successful.
