Hi Durian,

how long do you have to wait for them to gather all the information for you? Also, did you include an envelope and stamp?

Correct me if I'm wrong. Wouldn't it be better to stick to being the dependant of your hubby's working permit rather than BOC? The reason I say this is because BOC issue has been on going for years now. If you look up the info on BOC at M'sia staronline, you will see that a lot of people are stuck h...

Hi, I don't know if you read the staronline. If you have not, please do. A lot of M'sian BOCs are stuck here. It maybe best to see if you have other options before stepping in. Just evaluate the situation after you finish reading. It's a long hard journey.

But I thought the marching is to request for a meeting with Mr. Woolas for a discussion on this issue. So does that mean Mr. Woolas turn down the meeting and just avoid the issue? Btw, is there any invidual that has been successful? There hasn't been much post here so far...it was as if people are g...

Is there any latest update that anyone can post about BOC? It seems that there has not been any sort update since the marching.

He is in this kind of situation due to ill advice ie not knowing the consequences (renounciation) therefore if he report the case to the law society and go back Malaysia, will the HO emphatize and be a little compassionate towards his case? He has been here for 8 years plus now. Initially a student ...

She's not really sure herself. According to the solicitor, it's a join application with the husband. Meaning if the husband was granted ILR, she will get hers as well.

It's quite doubtful coz there is no mentioned anywhere that such rule exist. Wouldn't it just a normal spouse visa?

If a working holiday maker got married in the UK and was unable to return due to the passport being held in the home office, would that be an offence? The passport has expired. All the decision of staying are base on solicitor's advice. All the letters from the solicitor are kept. Solicitor kept on ...

Still a little vague about the status for B coz his brother A got the British Citizen within a few months after he got his BOC. If BOC doesn't mean that a person can stay in the UK, does that mean it's illegal to be here at all. According to the solicitor, B can still stay here as that is his birth ...

So that means B can't do anything at present. If he travel to M'sia n being sent back to UK, he needs a letter from M'sia airport saying that he can't enter M'sia otherwise UK will not accept him.

He has been here for 5 years plus now. He is not entitle to apply for residency if he wanted to?

Dear Ben, B's friend advice to submit the case as individual case to AIT. It will have better chance of approval. According to the friend, the collective BOC case does not seems very likely to achieve positive result due to the fact on the recent issue on the restriction of foreigners to remain in t...

Dear everyone, Truly appreciate the replies. I wish I have discover this website sooner to seek for advice. It's a little late to realize that the solicitors are not entirely reliable. In a way, I do felt that their advice is like a gamble. I mean, if my cousin suffers, they don't really have to bea...

Dear Ben, Many thanks for the respond. The brother (S) who got the British Citizenship never surrender the M'sian citizenship however the other one (B) who is appealing has done so because he is being advice by the solicitor to do so. Another point to add. B married A before submitting the applicati...

Dad is born in Penang therefore his children are eligible for BOC application. There's 3 kids in the family. The youngest is not qualified as he is born in 1984 so only the two eldest applied. Both of them got their BOC within a year and then proceed with the application for ILR and citizenship. One...

He came to the UK a few years back however he has difficulty in entering. He has some friends in the UK and manage to get him out b...
