Can you afford to pay the NHS for your birth and aftercare? When your visa ends then so does your free access to the NHS. Putting in frivolous applications to try to remain in the UK doesn't give you access to the NHS for free.Fnm wrote:my current visa is expiring in 2 weeks time.
To make matters worse, I am heavily pregnant to travel within two weeks.
Thanks for your reply, I am asking for advise not opinions. NHS fees is not the issue here, life comes first and I have paid my taxes in the UK in full. NHS fees will be paid for, if they have to.Petaltop wrote:Can you afford to pay the NHS for your birth and aftercare? When your visa ends then so does your free access to the NHS.

Thank you very much Obie for your help. I will look into that ASAP.Obie wrote:You could use FLR(FP) and ask for consideration outside the rule.
Don't shoot the messenger. It wasn't an opinion, it is a fact. There are many who pay taxes and who can't use the NHS for free as free use of the NHS doesn't work like that.Fnm wrote:Thanks for your reply, I am asking for advise not opinions.

No, she said her visa ends in 2 weeks time and that was what I was concerned about. She said she was heavily pregnant, but didn't say when her due date is. If she gives birth before her current visa expires, they she won't be billed and everything I put was waste of my time.Obie wrote:The government has implemented a new NHS Surcharge system.
In this current time, the OP is entitled in Law to NHS until her visa expires, which is not the case yet , is it?
3c doesn't extend to free NHS.Obie wrote:
The OP's visa expires in 2 weeks, and if an application is made before the end of that period, there will be section 3C, and then whiles an application is considered, section 3C will still be engaged.
Petaltop, you seem to be more concerned about NHS fees more than anything. From everything stated in my initial post all you have picked is "pregnancy". I doubt you even know what Tier 2 General means. It is utter waste of time to argue with you. For you to understand anything, you need to understand where you came from in the first place. With all due respect, will stop disturbing the thread and let those with advise post while you revisit your history. Been legitimate and was in the process of legitimising my stay when the visa was refused and I still want to be legitimate, without risking my life and my baby's life. So if NHS matters to you that much, why not call and warn them about me in advance while those who understand my situation post valuable advise. The caseworker will deal with my case accordingly even if I put in my "frivolous" application as you state. Probably you are even the one milking the system left, right and centre. And again, revisit your history... while you contact NHS beforehand. Thanks.Petaltop wrote:3c doesn't extend to free NHS.Obie wrote:

We have already seen a post on here from a Tier 4 who was trying to stay in the UK after her visa ended and putting in applications on time. She was refused free NHS at several places as her tier 4 visa had ended.
I don't think knowing about the NHS now checking, when the OP is trying to stay in the UK to give birth, is a distraction.

Those overstaying a visa never could have free NHS but most NHS were incompetent and never checked. Now that new law means they will get fined if they don't bill, but can keep the bill money and that 50% extra if they do. Stick and carrot.

My partner is on DLR (refused asylum) he was given 2.5 years last year and been in the UK since 2002. I understand that I am not in a position to apply for any right to stay as his dependant,
Kindly advise how I can legalise my stay for the time being (since I can give birth anytime) rather than falling into the overstayer category.

Obie, with all due respect, we have already seen posts on here where they did not get free NHS after their visa expired and while they waited for their case to be decided and therefore the NHS isn't covered under 3c.Obie wrote:Petaltop, Section 3C ensure that people under the old Tier4 system continue to retain all their entitlement they once have, which includes access to NHS, until their case is decided.
