Lawyers would probably milk it in terms of fees and give you hope and will say that they will fight your case, though you've clearly lost a couple of times. If you go home then you will probably be looking at least a year before you can come back as I know of a couple where the wife got BC but the h...

What you should have done was to carry on as a full time student irrespective of the decision of HO or Tribunals. If you believe that you will win the UT, then you will need to submit a fresh application to extend your leave. Distance learning will not count. Unless you can demonstrate to HO that yo...

If you get confused by the terms, the short answer is: - Your children born outside the UK will be British. - Their children (your grandchildren) if born outside the UK will not be British. If born in the UK, they will be British. This is all according to today's laws. Thanks a lot to both of you. ...

Dear All, I heard from a source that new rules will come into effect in mid-March. Has anyone got any idea how this will affect: 1. Those on ILR, route to citizenship. 2. What will replace the probationary period that was due on 1 July 2011. 3. Those on T1/T2 who was previously allowed to apply for ...

Thanks Jay!! Yes I agree on covering letter, it will differ from case to case, I will write my own. Did you send any Bank statements/Gp registrations/ previous visa letters which came with renewals? I do have everything with me, but since the application form doesn't ask for these docs, do you thin...
