Deceased's dependants

[ANTONIO77]

Hi all,

Please advice is urgently needed, my sister which is a HSMP dependant recently lost her husband(main applicant) to cancer. He died outside UK at his wish as he was advised that he was likely to die in 2weeks, he was flown home to die.
my questions are:
1.Can she still extend her permit? she was given 2yrs from home and recently extended for 3yrs,she still has 2yrs left
2.She had been to see a lawyer for advice her on her faith, the lawyer said if she inform the UKBA, her permit would be cancelled. how true is this?

please help us, she is mourning the late husband and still face uncertainty about his status with 2 boys.

Sorry to hear the sad news, but I don't think there is a rule that allows a spouse of a deceased person who is not settled to remain...

Wait for others tho....

The bereaved partner provisions for ILR don't apply where the deceased person only had limited leave to remain. Did they have any children born in the UK?

Thank you for the response, none of the kids were born here.

Thank you for the response, none of the kids were born here.

this makes the case more difficult
Why don't you post your Question in ILR section of forum as well? someone may be able to advise there with much more authority.
Though AMBER responded to you in Tier-2 section? and he is most known authority here

Is she and the children in the UK now?

Your option may be leave outside the immigration rules (click) for particularly compelling circumstances. If the husband was on a route to settlement, perhaps asking for ILR under LOTR in the best interest of the children who are now settled (in a fixed way rather than legal) in the UK. Has the person applied for a Bereavement Payment (click)?
