Yeah well, believe what u like. I am not on here to convince u or anyone else of our story. I only wanted to talk to other people in similiar situations and maybe get advice. I wont take offence at what u said, although I could, cos its not worth it, I know I am speaking the truth. Afterall what wou...

it was the citizens advice that said I could not claim anything, I think this was because my husband was working illegally. While it is true I dont want to go bankrupt and affect his claim. If I did so after he was granted leave to stay, I would not want to live off the state. I only want to be able...

Well, first of all that is so wrong. He never has and I never have wanted him to have benefits from day one!

It has always been the case that niether one of us could maintain the houshold finances without the other. If...

Also neither myself or my husband have claimed a ounce of public funds. Nor have we wanted to, we wanted to sort out his permanant stay so we could finally move on with our lives. As we now have our little girl we want to do better for her. Even though he is a overstayer the home office have always ...

Hi, thanks for your input. I am a british citizen, and have never left the uk for any reason. Myu husband did not return to Uganda when his father died, I believe because he could not return as the ho had his passport. I have never actually asked him outright. He only has one brother left in Uganda ...

I am writing on behalf of my husband. He came to the uk on 19th jan 1998, on a student visa, from Uganda. Whilst he was over here, his father passed away and as a result he was unable to continue funding his studies. The home office sent him papers to renew his visa when it expired, but he was unabl...
