Okay Read through those documents and it comes across as fluff, smoke and mirrors. No idea where my wife stands at all. She's non-asylum. On page 24 of the misnomered "Asylum Policy Instruction Discretionary Leave" the statement for prior 2012 is "normally" and then follows throu...
I'm British. My non-EU wife granted DLR on Article 8 grounds after tribunal in 2010 whilst we were in a right mess (temp council accommodation, British child, no work and benefits all the way). Completed her 2 x 3 years. She works. I'm house-husband. New baby on the way. Don't meet financial require...
This is just my opinion - my wife has her hearing on 25 Jan, I'm not working, on benefits and we are generally in a pretty poor position but have a lovely, happy daughter of 18 months who holds a British passport. We don't meet the "rules". Article 8 wise, we are a family, we can't return ...
Obie, you're a joy. The appeal is lodged and we have a date of 25 January. Didn't think of Rule 248 as so involved with Article 8 but a good suggestion. Unemployment due to CRB and medical - I think that is covered. Your links very useful. As for Chikwamba, we and our daughter are very involved in l...
I was told a 6 month wait. My wife applied in June. Got rejected in November. AIT appeal in January. I'm British. Our daughter is British. Go figure. UK immigration is nuts. Article 8, all the way.... This is all 2009, apart from the hearing which is in 2010, obviously.
Looking to the rules, yes, it appears to be. But the refusal is to a student visa when my wife's application was for an FLR(M). And it states that our daughter has no status when she has a UK passport and birth cert. As for Article 8, yes it gets very tricky. It's up to the judge, then if neg a revi...
I'm so sorry. Is this not the sort of thing a Judge would describe as Kafka style application of the rules? It may have been in within the rights of the ECO to make such a decision, but it benefits nobody. It was also within the power of the ECO to allow her to return. My wife's mother is very ill. ...
On Thursday 5/11/09 my wife got the Home Office refusal letter and 10 days to appeal or leave the country. So we're appealing it. Their reasoning is that her original LLTR was for 6 months or less. She's not overstayed or otherwise broken the law. I am British. UKBA say that they have considered Art...
