Sorry Jammybunn, but you're wrong. Ask all those who had to return to re-apply from their home country following out of time applications how many of them had criminal convictions. There is no automatic right to remain if the visa has expired when the application is made. Please don't mislead membe...
jammybunn - You are just jumping to conclusion...why did you not ask the OP what benefit is he looking to claim or is interested to know? Though i am against abuser of the benefits system as this really upset me as i have to get up every morning to work even in cold weather and have never claimed a...
Jammybunn, I know you're new to the forum but you're giving very bad advice here. If the application is made after the visa has expired the decision to grant ILR is entirely at the discretion of the UKBA. Regrettably many spouses who have applied late have had to return to their country of origin t...
Out of time is a big problem - my application is out-of-time and believe you me it is a real issue! My recent correspondence from UKBA via my MP has stated that should my application be unsuccessful, I will have no right to appeal and could/will be deported. So, very serious. I applied under SET(M)...
To be fair, this is not the first thing you should be looking at. You have presumably had some form of leave to remain prior to obtaining ILR, and possibly this had entitlement to employment. This is the type of query that fuels stereotyping as to the negative impact of immigration. Yes we know tha...
Thanks for your reply... Does anyone know what department or team is this - NADL MNC1, PO Box 99, Manchester? Is this apart of the legacy program? Also, is there a legacy criteria for older non-asylum cases? NADL may be something to do with New Asylum work, MNC is Manchester non charged casework an...
Incidentally, non-British babies, born in the UK, do not need to apply for leave to remain . if they cant confirm that they have a BC status through the father then they will need to legalise their residence also. If the father is named on the full BC and he is BC/settled then child may be eligible...
they certainly dont have to be in time to satisfy the requirements of paragraph 287 (i) completed 2 years leave as a spouse (ii) relationship is genuine and subsisting (iii) intend to live together permanently (iv) maintain and accommodate (v) no recourse to public funds (vi) LUK/ESOL there is no pa...
you are applying on completion of 5 years, you are now a tier 1 so you apply in that category. For ILR you have to have completed 5 years with most recent leave as tier 1, the remainder can be WP.
i seriously do not understand the logic of people who "mean to claim asylum but never get round to it". if you are genuinely fearing for your life you will do it as soon as possible. Those who are not genuine tend to save it as a "hail-mary" for if and when enforcement teams catc...
believe me, the appeal tribunal will not dismiss an application for an 80 year old, im 99% certain. I know its UKBA that does the removal but this lady aint going anywhere
the solicitors are just going to have a field day charging you for this application, and any subsequent appeal they advise you to lodge. Your application will fail. You need to complete 5 years CONTINUOUS RESIDENCE. you overstayed (whoevers fault is regardless) your continuous residence ended. You l...
it doesnt sound very convincing IMHO if you are having to ask such a question as to are you scared enough to apply for asylum rather than wait on your FLR(O). However you can withdraw your FLR(O) application and seek asylum yes, then all HR aspects of your initial FLR(O) application can be considere...
you wont need to resit it again despite alikhans comment. 2 reasons are that the HO can confirm KOL has been obtained (it is ESOL that causes problems) so they wouldnt need the certificate physically and secondly, if your partner is technically applying for ILR on completion of 6 years DL then she w...
sounds like the reason they have refused you is because they are saying you personally werent being persecuted and that the violence was indiscriminate.
Im sorry but it is not acceptable to say just because someone is from Somalia they should be given refugee status
feel free to apply for visit visas but im not sure with regards to mutli entry. Have they ever had visas issued before? generally one will get a single entry 6 month visit visa to begin. If they have complied with the conditions then they may reapply and get a 2 year mutli entry visa but im not 100%...
Officially she has overstayed if the visa was only valid till 5th August. That said for SET(M) applications there is no requirement for the application to be in time so as long as you have demonstrated that you meet the rules, get the application in ASAP and you should still be granted
if you were out for a period of more than 6 months then its a fail, you should have made the odd trip back to the UK so your 8 month gap wasnt considered as 1 solid period out of the UK. The entry and exit stamps which would be used to confirm this would have supported you.
Costly, 2x long res applications if you and spouse been here that long. applications for each child as child of settled parent (on the assumption that both parents are granted under the rules)
3 individual applications. Without knowing the full circs of your current leave i guess at 2 possible outcomes. 1 mother is refused ILR (not sure what her current status is or her eligibility) you and brother also refused. Family unit can be removed. 2 mother is granted ILR (if she meets rules etc, ...
There is no set requirements as to what you need to submit, obviously the more the better but generally what you would expect is a number of documents each or jointly addressed that ideally cover sporadically the entire 2 year probationary period to demonstrate that you have been genuinely subsistin...
apply for leave to enter as a prospective spouse and just be honest. Tell them you married but were unaware of the status, that you cant remarry there and that you want to legalise your marriage here. They may not know about his previous status but with submitting marriage certificates and through i...
she will get it on appeal, even if you havent met the rules of proving financial depandnce the AIT will have no chance of removing an 80 year old and will grant accordingly.
dont apply for a spouse visa, all the documentation you will require to demonstrate your relationship will show that he was divorced AFTER you married and could invalidate your application. You could go down the fiancee route and marry in country
