Hi all
My story
Overstayer with partner arrived 2005
Applied under article 8 August 2008 based on strong family ties
Refused Feb 2010
Appeal refused April 2010 and ordered to sign in every week at local police base.
Detained, yes detained September 2010 with deportation order to remove my partner and kid too
Found slick lawyer who submitted fresh claim based on our child's circumstances,( Health & other reasons)
Released From detention centre after 72 hrs and told to wait.
Refusal again! March 2011 ( refusal letter had google search references, including my countries Bio, animals, schools, population, tourist hotspots ,weather etc etc, i swear this case worker was high as a kite, totally irrelevant to our case
Appeal heard at Tribunal, 1st tier, Judge ripped Home office PO to shreds and informed them they were wasting tax payers money on lazy research and case presentation . Told us he would allow the appeal, lasted less than 15 mins in there.
HO were so pissed off, took 4 months to return the endorsements, involved local MP, their argument was that they were short staffed.
and now it begins again
1)My question is, DLR extension form, does it have a fee?
2)Our kid will be 9yrs old this month, can we submit a separate form for citizenship on his behalf as he will be 10 yrs in the country since birth in just about 7 months after our Dlr extension deadline?
thnx
