Since your Entry Clearance had expired before you applied for the extension, there could be a possibilty that your ILR clock started ticking after you got the passport back from the HO and not from 2002. Having the Subject Access Request helps you to determine what the Home Office(HO) thinks about y...
After getting married your wife will have to leave the country and apply for the HSMP dependant visa from the British Embassy in her home country. It is not possible to make and in-country switch from a student to the HSMP dependant visa.
Multiple posts about the same problem is not going to get you the answers any quicker and makes the board look over-populated. Pls refrain to just making one query in the appropriate section about the problem in hand.
However there seems little solid guidance on whether spending just over 50% of our time in the Uk in the 2 years is sufficient enough to get ILR. That might be true, but judging by the experience of the OP here there is a chance that your case might not succeed. You might have better luck with post...
LandRover, I really cannot make out what the HO considers your immigration status to be as your Entry Clearance had expired before you had applied for the extension. I will advice you to make a subject access request as advised by John to the OP in this thread so that you can be sure when your ILR c...
but please here is couple who by the time they finish their collection will have 5 passports between them! Its more like 4 passports. The OP will have to surrunder his Indian passport when he gets naturalised as British. No, because what we're talking about here is prostituting yourself for a passp...
I was aware that the moderators did the work on a voluntary basis and I also do agree that most of the queries seems to have already been answered to in the past. I had already guessed that it must be the hectic schedules of the day to day life that must have made the other moderators reduce their d...
Your partner could have applied for the EXTENSION of his stay as the unmarried partner along with you. Meaning he should already have been holding the entry clearance as the unmarried partner or have had previous extension/leave to remain as your unmarried partner. Unless someone with better underst...
Since you are on HSMP, you are only considered to be on limited leave to remain. Hence you partner who will not be able to switch from the Working Holidaymaker visa to an unmarried partner visa as he is not considered to be fulfilling all the requirements. See rule (ix) of 4 of the Immigration Direc...
Freedom83, unfortunately the Home Office(HO) takes almost 6 months even for straightforward cases in which the EEA family member is not from the Ascession member states and are married and the non-EEA partner has not overstayed. Since you have been working over here for the past 3 years, you being f...
OK! There is a slight disparity between the way you are interpretting "dependant" and the way Home Office(HO) tends to interpret a dependant. Like Wanderer pointed out, you have to prove to the HO that they were dependants over there in your home country... and not just dependants when the...
lizzy90, had the 28 day clause been true asking the ECO to post-date the entry clearance by upto 3 months citing the reasons for the delay in not being able to depart to the UK should solve all the problems. Bats, what exactly did you mean by the "visa office"? Even if the information was ...
Stedman, we were talking about the Entry Clearance and the Entry Clearance in the case in hand was issued with a validity for 6 months. The 2 years were given as an extension at the Port of Entry.
The initial EEA1 certificate lasts for five years, before she can apply for the EEA3 for permanent residency Not necessarily. If your friend intends to exercise the treaty rights indefinitely, the Registration Certificate(EEA1) will not have an expiry date. The Registration Certificate will not be ...
I need to clarify a bit of details before I get a clearer picture. You said that the work permit (WP) extension was applied for by the 1st employer one week before it expired, but that WP was delayed by 1 year. So that means that you would have been an overstayer as the Entry Clearance(EC) issued to...
Most people are given 2 years entry clearance so there must have been a reason why they only gave you 6 months, perhaps this is why they have refused to give you any more. Dawie, from what was posted by jes2jes over here it looks like there doesnt have to be a reason why the Working Holidaymaker Vi...
The ILE can be "activated" at any time before it expires which usually is the date of the expiration the passport. So if the ILE is valid for say 5 years you can enter any time during the 5 years, way beyond the 2 years in question.
Dont worry! There is no such rule that states that your fiance has to enter within 28 days after the fiance visa was issued. He can enter any time during the 6 months provided there is enough time to get married and apply for the extension to Spouse visa. Had he been issued a Spouse visa, entering t...
Its not necessary to send in the EEA1 before you can apply for the EEA3. If you have been reading the board regularly, you would be aware of some cases in which the EEA national got the Permanent Residence without holding the Residence Permit/Registration Certificate after the evidence of exercising...
I think it would be better if you were to ignore my last post to Dawie as it centres around technical issues and could get you confused. Your Civil Partner cannot apply for a Residence Card (EC family permit as you know it) in UK if you are a British citizen unless you have worked or exercised your ...
Yeah, Doctorrer I've got the Family Permit in my passport. Then you shouldnt have had to fill in the landing card. See 5.2.1 on page 12 so that you can stand your ground the next time. Just out of curiousity, was a stamp placed in your passport as well while you were being admitted? I think it's on...
