I haven't slept since Friday evening I'm now going 4 days without sleep, that's how fragile my mental health currently is. Hi Wishfulgirl, I am concerned about your mental health. The judge agreed you should remain in the UK. The Home Office has not argued that you should leave the UK. Option 1 for...

Appendix FM is a "disproportionate" solution The judges act as if Appendix FM is a perfectly reasonable compromise. They seem to not be aware of the qualitative differences between Appendix EU and Appendix FM (or they don't care). People who entered the UK illegally are eligible for perma...

Okay thanks for the info. I should mention. It is important not to give the Home Office ammunition. Make them argue the points that go against your appeal. Now, there is such a thing as a preemptive or anticipatory strike. I don't think it is really necessary here. Anticipating your adversary's nex...

The judge has accepted. Again, you are arguing a point no one has argued. The Home Office has not made the points you are arguing. Or am I missing something? Eventhough you lost your appeal, your judge made findings of fact. Those facts have rights attached to them. The Withdrawal Agreement require...

If someone contacts you claiming to be me, don't believe them. Ask me on this forum. And, of course, don't send people money. And you may want to create a separate email address for this Zambrano stuff.

I briefly typed in "Retained Rights" in the group and it seems to only show individuals with retained rights in the event of a divorce. It seems the judge accepted you were issued a family member residence document. Has the Home Office specifically argued you lost your rights when he pass...

Here's a hot tip:

You may want to create a social media account with the username "Wishfulgirl". That way, people on here can find you. The downside is the Home Office would also make the connection.

This could put myself and my children in a destitute situation which will immediately prompt an application under Appendix FM. I really think you should start expanding your network today. Here are some ways: - Contact organisations that support EU nationals and family members in the EU settlement ...

Any idea how long or short the permission to appeal normally takes to be looked at ? Well, there are many factors to consider. People will be taking holidays. Also, because you mentioned your anxiety issues, they will probably try to match you with a judge who can communicate in an appropriate mann...

Is it best point referencing all identified errors of law then explaining the case laws separately. Or just pinpoint the errors and that's it's. When does the 14 days start for the appeal? Hi Wishfulgirl, The 14 days starts from the day you receive it. I assume you got an email? Permission to appea...

Hi Wishfulgirl, Celik had two organisations make interventions on his behalf. One even wrote letters to the Home Office. Even if you can't find a lawyer, you may be able to get an organisation to write letters or join your legal challenge. Also, there is a massive community on other social media pl...

ChatGPT - Create and/or Edit your submissions ChatGPT (or Bard, if you prefer Google) can create draft content but it can also EDIT your draft content, too. I asked ChatGPT (version 4) to edit an earlier paragraph (see above posts). Here's what it provided: Even though I initially applied as a Zamb...

Hi Wishfulgirl, You and Celik match in (at least) two ways. One, neither judge is willing to consider your human rights. A lot of people have this complaint. Two, you both filled out the wrong form! Celik should have applied under the EEA Regulations and then under EUSS. You should have applied for...

Why is the decision left with the Home Office regarding whether a judge considers human rights under Appendix EU particularly in our case ( Zambrano) The rule was initially passed to stop people from raising human rights considerations - after - the Home Office had already considered human rights. ...

What bothers me about the FtT judge's decision is this: he equates any discussion of human rights with Appendix FM. Appendix FM is an application one makes when they literally have no other basis for being in the UK. It is not the category 'where human rights are considered'. Human rights can be ra...

President Lane, Pre-settled status case, Appendix FM In the recent case about pre-settled status, President Lane said it was unlawful for the Home Office to require pre-settled people to apply for settled status after 2.5 years, or lose their status.

Regarding the letter I needed to send to the Home Office, would this be by the same email I sent my appeal bundle or is it something else? Good morning Wishfulgirl, Yes, the legal team that is handling your appeal at the Home Office should be made aware of your offer. Just to be sure, I would also ...

Hey ChatGPT 3.5! What are the criteria for non-EU parents of British children to be eligible for residence rights under the WA? Under the Withdrawal Agreement, non-EU parents of British children can be eligible for residence rights if they meet certain criteria. The specific requirements may vary d...

ChatGPT 3 versus 3.5 - Are Zambrano carers covered by the WA? I asked the free version of ChatGPT if Zambrano carers (the non-EU parents of British children, not the other Zambrano carers who are obviously covered) were covered by the Withdrawal Agreement. It said no, basically. It also said it did...
