Very well put andrew. i hope your getting on ok m8. shame some have abandond you because of differtent views and that they think we arent listening to there advice. For what its worth i had a few ideas for you. i know money is a big issue for you. If its no poissible for a bank loan or anything. the...

thanks for the headsup yankeegirl..biometrics...jeesh next they will want my dna lol. ya know in all this im not real bothered if they reject my application or not. sometimes wonder if its best for me and my family to make our lives in the states. just worked to hard a staying here to throw it all a...

thanks vinny. so that would be a vaf4 correct? and forgot about the kol test. thats what held me up in applying for ILR as i didnt even know about it till a week before i even looked into re-applying for my visa. by then it was to late. does anyone have a link to sample tests for this? from what i h...

just want to jump in here one last time. i will admit when i am wrong. and i was wrong in saying for everyone to get off there high horse because everyone is here genuinly trying to help andrew. unfortunatly republique i dont think andrews wife will have much option other than to stay and fight. so ...

let me clarify my position. i have no intent on fighting the h.o. on this. although there are other individuals who may not have much choice but to do so. i only want to know one thing now. which application should i go for? had entry clearance and blew it by not fileing for ILR. so now im an overst...

andrew i think we are in both the same boat. what ive not heard from anyone on this other than go home is how we go about winning a case against the home office. fighting them is most likely not the right thing to do but an option many might not have a choice in. being complacent is not always the r...

sorry for stepping on yer thread andrew. i dont recall myself saying i deserved any preferred treatment or the red carpet because i was american. yeah allies! and guess my point bein there is that we have been allies for many years yet someone from poland,france or any part of the eu has an easier t...

hey andrew. i really feel for you m8. i am in the very same boat only it is me that is the overstayer, not my misses, and we just had our second as well. it sucks when my children have more rights than myself as they are british citizens. i love the uk but im a lil fed up with what we have to go thr...

i am currently waiting on clarification on this re-entry ban from my local mp's office. he was of great help to me last time and am sure will be again. i know what folks have told me but this kind of stuff opens a whole can of worms. like for instance everyone says to return home. well after living ...

thankyou for the replys everyone. this has been a big help in decideing what to do. the first round with the home office didnt get me that far and was really as simple as returning to the states to get my ec visa. i should of learned from that and have nothing but myself to blame for becomeing an ov...

thanks for the input but the only answer i see here is you all saying to return to my home country to re apply. i did that the first time wich got me my entry clearance visa. my situation has changed though. as i have been married to a uk citizen for 5 years now and have lived here for five years. t...

HELLO..NEW TO THESE BOARDS AND HAVE LOOKED AT MANY POSTS REGARDING MY CASE BUT NADA. I WISH TO SAVE MYSELF A 750 POUND REJECTION FEE SO THOUGHT ID ASK THOSE THAT MAY KNOW OR CAN OFFER ADVICE. AS OF NEXT MONTH I WILL HAVE OVERSTAYED MY ENTRY CLEARANCE VISA AS A SPOUSE OF A UK CITIZEN BY ALMOST A YEAR...
