Are you my dear taking the mick out of the poor woman?

Someone told me she is here in the UK now.

Also I would like to know can an application for reconsideration result in a removal notice? In the reconsideration I understand that UKBA is limited to considering the merits of the original decision. Could they somehow say we have reconsidered and think that the initial refusal is warranted and fu...

Do you mean to say that UK forced you to come here for study/work, they have enslaved you, forcing you to stay here, live here, settle here, immigrate here? or Is it by your choice that you want to study/work/live/settle/immigrate here? Its really ridiculous that so many people always just want an ...

No Problem Frontier. You can't be right all the time :) . I appreciate you are trying to help. So I guess that info about Para 104 NIA 2002 Act apply to reconsideration as well. ie. as you stated reconsideration will be abandoned if I leave before an outcome to the reconsideration. On the work permi...

Well the work permit people are separate to the visa people. The work permit folks look at whether this application / skill set warrants a work permit and simultaneously or shortly after work permit approval a separate application must be made to the visa folks for leave to remain on the work permit...

Frontier mole you seem to have a good understanding of the situation and what I am trying to do. I thank you for taking the time to write your advice for me. I am confused though about what you mean by this? If your WP is granted, you would not have to make a claim for discretionary leave because it...

Ah well that is a big help Frontier as I did not know that. So it may be best then to get the outcome to the reconsideration first before travelling. What about appeals? If I get an appeal and leave the country to seek re-entry is the appeal considered to be abandoned as well? On the other hand if t...

The "amnesty" word. (Shiver...) It is not an amnesty, it is a time limited concession given to returning overstayers. Those that take the opportunity to return home before 1st October 2008 will not be subject to the automatic mandatory refusal (ban). Yeah but is that a rule though? So if ...

Listen mate don't mind all that. If you are desperate then so be it. Of course consider the merits of your case because your merits will be tested at the first hurdle. It will also depend on why he overstayed, how he came to be an overstayer and what his intention was. The legal option that is avail...

To reiterate, I quite like this country and the people who live in it. And I think they like me (perhaps). It's just the Home Office's fun and games that I'm not too fond of. I'll be curious to see if the strains of God Save the Queen on my ceremony day (if I'm approved, of course!) are able to dis...

What oath do you take? What if someoen has a religous objection to saying the oath is there a provision for this?

[/quote] It certainly doesn't mean protection for the common or garden variety overstayer.[/quote]

Any good in stew? What do they taste like? I want to grow some.

What about human rights judicial review to the high court?

Hi guys just need your input on a potential entry clearance application. Brief background My application for ILR based on long residence was refused in January of this year. When I physically received the refusal letter it was after my leave had expired. Because the refusal letter was dated prior to...

But does anyone know how long they are taking at the moment to complete reconsideration? And what do they check / reconsider. Do they do the exact same checks as with the original application or something else? Also in particular can they refuse on new grounds or is it the case that if the original ...

Its a complete shake up of immigration. Feels like the doors are closing for all non-EU immigrants. The talk of having to do community service in order to get citizenship is so infuriating. Community service is a punishment for criminals not for people seeking a better life. Why should they be punis...

Just heard on the today programme on radio 4 that new levy will be introduced which the immigrants have to pay for the use of public services such as schools and hospitals. All this is doing my head in. It's just the persistence of this government to stick it to the people who are their easiest tar...

It's only a matter of time...

You can tell a man by his car.

In my case my ILR was refused and is now back with Home Office for reconsideration. Depending on the result further legal action will be pending. Meanwhile my former employer is seeking a work permit for me and my leave has expired in the meantime. I plan then to leave and seek re-entry before Octob...

Jacqui Smith <---- completely incompetent

I just think some of these immigration officers are trigger happy. I understood that the new rules were to come into effect from April. And I would have thought that it would apply to people leaving after the new rules came into effect. But from the letter above even though the applicant was removed...

Sorry for any confusion Hollie. What I was saying is that it seems as if the overstayer leaves without being caught and seeks entry clearance from aborad then before October 2008 they won't be automatically refused. But apparently if the person is caught before October 2008 the ban will apply. It lo...

You mean if someone has overstayed here in the UK for less than six months and they wanted to apply for say ILR or otherwise the application should not fall for automatic refusal?

So they don't have to leave and re-enter.

Where does it say this?

Just reading the concession now again: “A number of people have, however, suggested that we will achieve our aims better if we give people who are currently here illegally a chance to leave before the new rules are applied to them. We have listened to their argument and reflected on it, and we agr...

So whats the meaning of this then?
