Any idea if the new law will affect 14 years case??? This new requirement will (also) be added to immigration rule 276B (see point 88 in the statement of changes ). Suspended sentences have the same rehabilitation period as sentences served. Therefore, if I cannot submit by 6 April, then I have to ...
In the court paper, we were ordered to pay a fix amount and 29 days supended sentence. Suspended sentences have the same rehabilitation period as sentences served. I want to know if it counts for criminal record ??? In my personal opinion, yes. Please forgive me if I am a bit thick!! I have read an...
We were in deep financial difficulties on last few years. We couldn't claim any benefits at the time and the council took us to court twice and now we are paying weekly instalment. In the court paper, we were ordered to pay a fix amount and 29 days supended sentence. I want to know if it counts for ...
Good luck...this story will have a happy ending![/quote]
Thank you very much. We will post here when we have any news.
Hopefully, it won't be another year!!!.
We have been messing around for years, desparate for new life.
Hi everybody, We went to see our MP today. He said he will take the case. We have intstructed another solicitor, and hopefully everything will go ok. We are trying to get everything in order, NI number, benefits, apply for job. However, we like a ball and being kicking around!!!!! Very tough time, a...
Could anybody advice me that, how long does it take first child benefit come through, at least a letter of approval with child benefit number? We are on DL and in position to apply for ILR. We went to CAB, and were told to just fill in a form and send it back. I have NI number since many years ago b...
Hi lumera, thank you very much. You are very kind person. I have contacted another solicitor, Victioria on the other forum. She is going to help us and trying to sort the mess out. Now, even as she said, my solicitor might not even enclosed our life in the UK test to UKBA. Therefore, it ended up onl...
I have asked him to send us a copy of passport to us. Yes, I know we shouldn't get DL instead of ILR. I don't know if it was because he didn't enclosed life in the UK test. I don't think it was because ILR refusal then we got DL instead. If it was the reason, UKBA should state on the letter.
how did that happen? Have a look here: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/policyandlaw/IDIs/idischapter18/ And look under 6 Granting Further Leave to Remain It specifically says: "Prior to 2 April 2007 it was not possible to grant leave to remain on the basis of long resid...
@ chorc123 I'm confused and you have left me scratching my head. Is the £2700 you are owing part of the £4500 he initially quoted? Quoting kiwigirl from the first page of this thread - "A good OICS qualified solicitor would never withhold a clients passport or visa documents. It's unlawful!!...
Would anybody can tell me if we can claim some benefits? We have 3 years DL, 2 British kids (12,14). Please refer to 14 years ILR application in this forum to see our story. We are desparate to know if we can claim child benefit and housing and council tax benefit. My partner is working full time an...

when you agreed with the solicitor, did you make it clear that you wanted ILR only? Because it seems your solicitor used form FLR(O) instead. There is no requirement for you be legalised to get ILR under 14 year residence.[/quote] well, when I was at his office last time, he said, he will apply for ...
After exactly 1 years waiting time, we have finally received positive news from UKBA. However, we are granted Discretionary leave to remain. Actucally, very bad new. We were told by solicitor that he filed our case was just to legalised our status. Then, the next thing is pay him extra £ 2700. Then...
No am not British, I'm an international student. I don't know then. It might take a long time to legalised your partner's case, then your child, and finally yours. 14 years case can't apply with spouse. (as far as I know!!!). I think you should keep your visa up to date ( until your partner got ILR...
Thank you all yeah we have 3 year old and I am a student we have been together for about five years. So, do you have ILR or British passport yourself? Or both of you are applying under 14 years rule? If you are British citizen, then your partner is very likely to get something legalised his/her sta...
my partner came here in july 1996 as a visitor he applied for asylum in 1998 and was rejected. in 2008 he took a solicitor and he said he should apply for legacy, so he apply for legacy in 2008 and we haven't heard nothing form HO. And in July 2010 he was qualify for the 14 years long resident. He ...
Hi jiz,
I am very happy for you and your partner.
Would you tell us more aout your story? I and my partner are still waiting. As you read the previous posts. No idea why we are still on the queue.
Just one more advice, you need to find out if UKBA caseworker is ACTUALLY dealing with you case. If you are still in the queue, then there is not much you can do. Then just wait for your turn.
My story is different from you, read the forum above. However, me and my partner are still waiting.
I know some people are very harsh on this subject--14 years rule. However, if you read through this forum, some people got it very quick even they are illegal entrants at the beginning. Some people have to wait for ages even there was no fault documents at all. Some others just forces to end up at 1...
Hi, I think you are better to look for a good solicitor to deal with the case. I heard somebody hired a solicitor and paid by legal aid for 14 years case. It was sucessful and granted ILR. However, I would say you are better to do it sooner than later. As the government may stop legal aid for immig...
