Luck? What's luck got to do with it?

Pay slips do not show that you can support yourself. If you don't send bank statements you are liable for refusal.

Victoria

If you are the only director of the limited company I'd probably say you were self employed. But it really doesn't matter.

Victoria

Is the 14 year rule still going to apply, whent he changes to the general grounds of refusal will also apply to in-country applications for leave to remain?

I just don't know.

Non-UK nationals can get security cleared. There are plenty of US national interns working in government departments and the Houses of Parliament.

But it has to be applied for by the employer.


Victoria

Which conditions did you breach by the way?

Victoria

What interests me particularly is the category of 'Persons Exercising Rights to a child Resident In the UK' where a court order states clearly that you have residence order which can only be exercised in the UK. Would the ECO just say: "surd it! You overstayed so you lose your right to be with...

Maybe, but I'd have to see the docs.

Can this ap[ply to EEA nationals?

Victoria

If you marry her then you can apply, with the same documents you used for your own entry clearance. Make sure that the salary you earn is enough to support two people, and there should be no problems.

Victoria

Do you have evidence of living together during the long visits? how long were they?

The BIA have told ILPA that joint apps should be sent to the address in Liverpool.

Victoria

Should be okay, though you may wish to get an updated employer letter.

Victoria

Are you applying in person? If so, then you can only use your own card.

Victoria

She can use whichever name she likes under UK law. She doesn't have to change legal documents if she doesn't want to.

Victoria

Don't worry...they have made this is up.


Victoria

The bad news is...this has been addressed...and BIA have said that those given removal notices whilst they are about to leave voluntarily are still stuffed for 10 years like everyone else...

...sorry guys.


Victoria

yep, that's right. As long as you marry and apply before the WP runs out, you can switch to spouse from within the UK.

Victoria

Send evidence that the kids are in school, and any letters from family members indicating that she will return, and try to get these to the court in advance of the hearing.

Call the Judge 'Sir'.

These issues often go on whether the witness and sponsors seem honest to the Judge.

Victoria

That sounds like it may be considered a break.

Victoria

As long as the work was legal and the necessary tax was paid, then yes.

Victoria

I'd say that you should probably consider a new H1B. Your chances of ever getting to the UK are now, basically, nil.


Victoria

You need to ask the judge to consider post-decision information. Tricky, but not impossible.

My guess would be... Landed at Heathrow and was taken to a different gate within the same terminal, therefore never going landside. Then, going through the domestic arrivals gate at Manchester, there was obviously no immigration officers there. Annoying, foolish, remiss, but not illegal. I think I'd...
