Dear coolcat810 Thank you for your enquiry. Many things can happen if an overstayer gave himself/herself up to the authorities. What happens to you depends upon luck to some extent. The overstayer could be given about about a month to leave the UK if he is doing so at his own expense. The effect of ...
Dear colleagues Please I have read a lot of posts by people who claimed that the case workers went behind the scene to make some checks. My question is this: From what source of information can they be making such checks? Put another way, is there any special UK computer data where entering one`s na...
Dear friends Please I need your help. It is quite possible that many people would have moved to another address by the time the HO sends their ILR. This is very likely as there is no particular length of time that it takes. Please are we to inform the HO of any change of address while it is in posse...
Dear colleagues Please I need your help. I have trawled the website but I did not see a similar post, hence this request. I entered the UK legally on 1st December 1998. I believe I will qualify for ILR based on the 14 years rule in 2012. Please I want somebody especially the Gurus, moderators and se...
Dear members Please I need your advice! I will soon be old enough to qualify for a Freedom Pass to enable me save little money on transport etc. Also, I will soon qualify for 14 years ILR. My question is this: can the Freedom Pass issue jeopardise my 14 years ILR? I will qualify for Freedom Pass whi...
Thank you for your post. I mistakeningly addressed a reply to your post to sushdmehta. Please kindly see the reply in the post recently addressed to sushdmehta.
Dear sushdmehta Thank you for your post. Maybe you didn`t understand my arguement. I was saying that after I must have got ILR / British passport, I can then be eligible to work as a security officer. By then, in the eyes of both SIA and HO, I am a UK citizen. I have long since done the door supervi...
Thank you kenfrapin, PaperPusher and ElenaW for your prompt replies and pieces of advice. It is actually a longer story than I have tried to tell here.....................I have considered most of those lines of action you kindly suggested. I thought of returning home but I quickly shelved it becaus...
Dear sushdmehta and PaperPusher Thank you for your replies. I have about 2 years to go. If the officials are not so happy with the passport photostat copies, I plan to draw their attention to the fact that its number and other data were mentioned somewhere in my new passport and also, that if they c...
Dear friends Please I need your help and advice badly. I will qualify for 14 years LTR in a few years but things are so difficult for me financially. I am now owing a tidy sum on credit cards, owing my landlady about 2 months rent and also actively looking for work now. All these started as a result...
Dear colleagues Please I need your advice. I want to apply for ILR when I complete 14 years but I have some problems. My first passport bearing the stamps that clearly proved when I legally entered UK on a visit visa was lost by my solicitor who has since stopped practising. I however have photostat...
