It would seem that you are compassionate, I think in order to avoid any further confrontation with your husband you should ask him to leave or you should move out depending on how you sort it out. You should probably discuss this rationally, and give him a chance to apply for another immigration cat...
If you follow the link that i posted it gives you a break down on how they calculate it here is something to think about, the reason migration watch are bleating on about having to earn a certain amount is because the know that lower paid immigrants present a cheap labor force and thus have the oppo...
A dependant on an AV also means married to an AV holder, sadly our ways parted but before they did my partner allowed me to apply for a WP before we went onto divorce proceedings. I am a bit older then 18 but thanks for the compliment..................
The article you are referring to is the European directive on long stay people of third citizen countries, it is by far a more fair system then the UK one which is a 10 years of continues stay. I am in a similar situation as you, however I was on an AV dependant visa before switching to a WP so I ha...
With a student visa you can work up to 20hrs a week and full time during your holidays, you will would have to find yourself a sponser who would sign a letter and hand over a few bank statments. but I would sugest enrolling quite soon as the major degree's start in September. I have made it sound re...
It sounds like you are dealing with "jobs worth" at your local council. And the ECO is probably covering his backside. If you need the letter then simple go over the top of the original person you spoke to at the council and just climb up the ladder until someone gives you the letter, but ...
BadPaul I agree and encourage most of what you have suggested, however I do wish to correct you in that you have not read correctly what the VBSI have been saying. I think that it is quite clear that legal action was NOT dismissed by the VBSI, it. It is not something that they are pursuing aggressiv...
alien I do apologies if I presumed that you would help in setting up a legal action organization. However I am sure that anyone else who intends doing this would greatly benefit from the knowledge that alien has acquired and also from the knowledge that the VBSI has acquired I would asked everyone (...
hopefully you have a more a clearer view on the JR from alien, ssi and myself however you can go to the VBSI website and see what they have done, and contact alien through PM to see what they will be doing
stevej As you can see from aliens posts that yes the JR on the actually policy or rule change is too late. However anyone can take legal action against the HO if their application for ILR fails. As you can see there are now 2 possible routes that people can support or they can support both at the sa...
stevej Yes, many people are debating amongst themselves the same thing happend for about month in April before VBSI was established in May. Then things started moving forward, however we reached a stagnant period quite recently, but everything has changed and the VBSI is now establishing itself agai...
Alien The VBSI is a fragile organization it is like a baby that was only born 3 months ago, there are still many things that it has to learn about how an organization functions and it will learn from its mistakes and will change its ways if it needs to. For now it is the only thing that we the immig...
Yes very well observed olisun, however if you read very very carefully you will see I did say as long as it is leading to settlement, maybe it would be good as a back up plan but slightly flawed in terms of how long before he receives settlement as soon as he gets a WP he will start the clock all ov...
Sometimes people can be over enthusiastic in giving advice, a more polite way of explaining it would be that it would probably be in your best interest to stay a dependant especially if it leads to obtaining ILR or PR or residency
If the status of your partner or the person you are a dependant on leads to settlement then you are better of staying as a dependant, as soon as you change to a WP then you are basically locked into that company for X amount of years alternatively you should try and see if you qualify for an HSMP. O...
All I think you are forgetting that we all have choices in life the people from the VBSI are doing what the feel is the right thing to do. They are by no means influencing the direction that everyone should go. The people who think that legal action should be taken can form a separate organization w...
Okay everyone time to take a deep breath Thank you to those that have passed constructive criticism onto the VBSI Thank you to those who have given the support that it needs, but for now everyone needs to focus on moving onto the next phase which is possible the judicial review or some other legal r...
Yes ssi that is the one, you might consider joining the VBSI yourself. as you seem to have a thing for research. Which is possible the way that the VBSI should be going exposing as much of the failings of the HO as possible so that it can be passed onto a lawyer. There is a further protest planned o...
Just so that we don’t get distracted and so that we do keep moving forward. I would suggest that everyone contact the VBSI (I do not have anything to do with answering emails or the IT side) ask how you can take over the reins (first2last4 and miffedyankee) and how to start getting the not for profi...
The VBSI was a steep learning curve, it provided a link between many other organizations and different community’s who are affected. It also allowed people to have a specific voice. It forms a platform to launch any number of approaches to the 4 to 5 rule change. The whole of Mr. Clegg's (liberal De...
The VBSI used hold regular meetings using MSN they were quite orderly and were quite affective. of the 8 or so of us I only met 3 other people in person so the you can see MSN was quite affective as VBSI was establish in about 2 weeks. I know for myself that I do not have the energy anymore to fight...
