If it is categorically clear that at the time you left (for the 5 months); you had clear unambiguous intentions of coming back then you are Ok.....

When you went back home for 5 months then the Clock has to restart because during that time you had no Visa for stay in the UK and also there is no proof that when you left the uk for the 5 months; you had intentions of coming back....

Hopefully - but dont be surprised if ECOs stamp 1 year or 3 years....

If you had the power to set your own rate why would you be charging them only £25 at the moment ? Contractors operate in a free market mate. If you have that much power to unilaterally raise the rates you should have done so anyway ! Whichever way you look at it - people who have been affected by t...

There was already such an amnesty in the UK in 2003/4 (if I remember correctly) for failed asylum seekers with families. All were granted ILR. The amnesty was restrictive!! I read that HO is trialling giving illegal immigrants £3,000 to head back home. What a real big JOKE!.?..that money can be era...

The whole thing is too commercialised.. 1. You Pay for initial HSMP application (£350) 2. You Pay for EC (£80?) 3. You pay to extend after 1 year (£500) 4.

John,

Could you please ask your MP to raise a question the House of Commons - regarding why rules are being applied retrospectively?

yes

Even if they made the qualifying period 20 years - immigrants are here to stay so who is fooling who?

There is no direct way to appeal against this. The only way to challenge this would be by applying for Judicial Review on administrative law grounds like Legitimate Expectations and the like. I am sure some law gurus out there can challenge this law - because i dont think the approach is legal...so...

Am I dreaming or are these guyz serious????...

Applying rules retrospectively? Is this fair....

Let us have more assylum seekers, overstayers and illegals as the authorities really suck....
