THE WORKING LUNCH and other stories

Description

This is the third volume in the Brown Envelope trilogy — short fiction built around the real architectures of global immigration enforcement, peopled by invented characters who, on the small reckoning of their offices and their kitchens, must decide what the rules require and what the rules did not foresee.

Set entirely in the United Kingdom between 2022 and 2026, the eleven stories cover:

— The Sponsor Licence and Certificate of Sponsorship sale wave
— The Skilled Worker carer kickback architecture
— Albanian small-boats trafficking in the Channel
— SELT speaking-test substitution fraud at Dhaka centres
— Asylum-narrative recycling in Whitechapel
— Innovator Founder endorsing-body fraud in Edinburgh
— Graduate Route transcript embellishment in Lahore
— Overseas Domestic Worker visa exploitation in Knightsbridge
— Right to Rent biometric residence permit forgery in Glasgow
— Spouse visa refusals at the Dhaka High Commission
— Eritrean Pentecostal asylum credibility findings in Sheffield

Each story is built on a real category of immigration enforcement that UK practitioners, journalists, and tribunal judges will recognise. The persons, however, are entirely invented. The book is a work of fiction.
