What does 'overstayer ban deferred' mean ?

When are exit checks due to be made as standard on departure ? And what happens to overstayers leaving UK ?

Yes her parents were married at time of her birth. What, if any, are the rights and/or advantages of BOC status ? Does this status entitle her to a BOC passport ? Does the fact that she took Singaporean citizenship & passport not void her BOC status under the statutes ? (Her father also took Sin...

Ex UK Colony (Malacca)

Can anyone shed any light on this one.... It has been suggested to me that...because my wife(Singapore national) was born in Malacca, Malaysia in July 1963 and her father was a resident of Malacca (and born in Malacca) whilst it was still a UK colony, that she may be eligible for a UK passport. Soun...

How long are FLR Visas issued for. I have been told its 6 or 12 months. Can it be up to 2 years ?

EEA

It has just struck me...

Would I be able to make a claim under the EEA Treaty Rights ? When my wifes Spouse Visa expires can I apply as she is dependent on me ?

Hi I am a UK national living with my wife, a Singaporean national, in UK. We want to relocate to Singapore for a few months prior to taking up a job in Australia.

Thinking about it, anything can happen at Passport Control. When we came back from a holiday a few months ago the Entry Officer asked ME how long I planned to stay in the UK !! When I pointed out she was looking at my UK passport she suddenly woke up lol !

Yes if we were staying in UK long term she would be eligible for ILR. As for passports, we will probably try and have both, but will check that out further down the line.

Is there any reason why she would be denied entry to UK if we left for a week and came back in ?

Spouse Visa expiry...

Hi I am a UK national married to a Singaporean, who is here on a 2 yr Spouse visa. The spouse visa expires end Nov 07, but we are awaiting a visa to move to Australia, probably Feb 08. I am loathed to pay out for a visa extension for the sake of 2 or 3 months or so, what options would be open to me ?
