Bear in mind though that if you go to the US on a Fiance visa, you have to marry your Fiance within 90 days of travelling there.

Your best bet is probably to leave the country voluntarily (contact the UKBA and declare that you are an overstayer and that you want to leave the country and return to Kenya at your own expense). Doing so would mean a 1 year ban on visa applications to the UK, but is significantly less than the 5 o...

My (mis)interpretation of the OP was that the asylum application was made prior to the birth of the child. Since the birth of the child has relevance to private and family life, that is where Mahmood would apply.

This is a hypothetical divergence though.

As per part of your original question, while the other posters have addressed the issue of whether you qualify for ILR or not, I thought I would answer your question about changing your client. You stated: "1. I am under the same Sponsor and the client through out my stay here. And my concern i...

If your passport has expired while in the UKBA's possession, they tend to send you the ILR stamp in the mail to apply to your new passport yourself (it is literally a sticker that you place on a blank page). Even if they do place the ILR stamp on your current passport, the visa is valid even if the ...

What is your wife actually saying? Is she saying that your relationship had already finsihed when you got ILR, or something similar? Amanda forgive me if I am wrong here, but would that make a difference? Surely the rules of double jeopardy do not apply where immigration is concerned? It would be h...

You say your wife came to the country in 2007, and I am sure that you made your application for asylum immediately thereafter. Having now had a child, your circumstances have changed and you can therefore move to have your asylum application submitted as fresh due to the provision of fresh evidence...

No, it will not have any effect. Your visa conditions are dictated to you very clearly when it is granted (e.g. you must be regular resident in the UK, etc.) Your marriage only has relevance if you are a dependent or on a spouse visa. If you have been granted ILR it supercedes the restrictions place...

Re: Does anyone know how a refusal appeal work?

Hi, I wanted to know the procedures for an appeal if refused a tier 1 general visa? How long it takes to process a decision? DO they overturn the decison straightaway if succesful? If decision is succesful how long does it take for the passport to be stamped? If dependant refused also do we have to...

I agree with Mr. Rusty; you will not be removed from the country without a valid travel document or while you have a valid appeal pending. Your Upper Tribunal appeal must first be resolved (after which you still have the Judicial Review route open in very limited cases). Your applying for a Tier 2 v...

Replies: 2
Views: 880

Typically you want to have atleast 2 pages empty, especially if you are travelling into the country from abroad. The reason for this is that your visa sticker/stamp is usually attached to one page, and a fresh page is used to indicate every entry you have into the country in the form of an Entry sta...
