I know exactly how you are feeling. I was in the same position as you for more than four years. Please read my posts and you will understand that going back is the best and quickest way forward. I don't know the exact details of your case, but it did work for me and I was allowed back to the uk havi...
Either way, you're going to be eligible to apply sooner (after 3 years or after 5 years) without taking into account any previous, unlawful period. As you say, you can relax now for a while. I don't remember where I read it, but I think I do qualify after holding an Indefinite Leave to remain for o...
There are other criteria that you need to fulfil apart from length of residence, including passing the Life in the UK Test: have you looked at this page and related pages from the BIA website? I did look at the web page and I think you are right. So my previous 4 years residence in the uk wouldn't ...
Thanks again Christope for your relpy. I am back to the uk today and had no problem getting through immigration. They have confirmed to me what you said, it's just I'm still confused to when do I qualify to natrulise ??
I would appreciate it if you could clarify that to me.
Thanks Chirstophe for the prompt reply.
You said I would be granted Indefinite leave to remain as as I enter the uk. But do I have to do anything or apply for anything to get it??? And the next step, when will I be able to apply for natrulisation??
Thank you.
Hi there: Sorry to jump in into this topic, but I am in a simillar position and would appreciate any advice about my case. I was granted indefinite leave to enter to the uk on the 23/06/08 valid until 23/06/10 to join my unmarried partner in the uk. My query is: Could I apply for indefinite leave to...
Well I have already booked my ticket for Sunday and that was 2 weeks ago. I have just spoken to my regional enforcement unit to arrange for my passport to be delivered to them and they rekon it will be with them by thursday.??? I don't know what to believe???
And is there anyway to speed it up?? like go and collect it in person or something else? Contact your local MP. I did it once and worked I did (My local MP is Jacqui Smith believe it or not) but there is nothing they could do or so they said. I want to leave by Sunday and I don't know if that is lo...
Could someone tell me how long would it take for the HO to send a passport back after you withdraw an outstanding application and arrange to leave the country voluntarily? And is there anyway to speed it up?? like go and collect it in person or something else?
thank you jeff and frontiermole for your answers she never applied for any permanent NIN, just a temporary one issued to her by the company she used to work for then the tax office started to send letters to her asking her to apply for a permanent number since then she stopped working Did she tell ...
I think it is your solicitor's intellectually property which you may be deemed to have stolen and distributed by doing this, and if anyone did it to me I'd be LIVID! Your case is too complex to be dealt with here, and as you have already stated that you do not want 'non professional' advice, I thin...
You mean to say that there are solicitors who make up statements like this? my partner as a woman will find it difficult to adjust in a strange culture. v)Because of my conversion, it is risky for me to return to my country even for a very short time to apply for entry clearance You really are gett...
I can't blame you from trying to apply outside the rules or dream that there may be a loophole. We were exactly the same for 7 years. From reading this forum and other related information on the web it soon became very clear there weren't any and an in country application would be futile even thoug...
My solicitor doesn't have "the all copyrights reserved" of the cover letter Its called attorney work product but I think you can appreciate no one likes their work to put out their for public view unless notified that that will be the case. Thank you SYH for the clarification. I can't com...
Weld you are one of the better writers of the posters on here looking for help but that wouldn't even make the HO misty eyed. sorry. compassionate grounds is not going to work. I think you better go back to your country and get EC despite the inhospitable political climate to your change of beliefs...

Moreover my partner X is a Christian, does not speak French or Arabic and as a woman will find it difficult to adjust in a strange culture. v)Because of my conversion from Islam to Christianity, it is risky for me to return to my country even for a very short time to apply for entry clearance under...
and as a woman will find it difficult to adjust in a strange culture Really? Earns a lot, but her woman bits just messed up her brain (all that oestrogen perhaps) and so it's too hard for her to adjust to a new culture? No other reason for this difficulty other than her gender? Sorry but it is not ...
Here are my none professional thoughts from someone has been here for a while and had first hand exprience of a spouse who was an overstayer. 1, If you are married you can apply for a spouse visa, if not it is either a fiance visa or any other visa that leads to settlement in the UK if you qualify....
If you submitted an application for ltr before the visitor visa expired, then you wouldn't be in the same lot as the overstayers who didn't try to work within the rules. I did not know at the time, otherwise I would not have been in this position and I would not particularly choose to be. So there ...
