Dont say you were a genuine student. You weren't. You overstayed and that's that. Your story is weak too so you are getting me upset with you didn't know any better until you got your second attorney. You are responsible to know your status and to not know until another 6 month is all together unacceptable.foji wrote:paulp & syh thanks for your response. I got your point. So according to you guyz i don't need to apply.

You tell him I am leaving now, please dont mark up my passport. Sorry for being irresponsible.
I dont understand why people have to keep repeating info already given to them. Yes go buy your own ticket and leave
What about you?OL7MAX wrote:While it's everyone's own responsibility to ensure the legality of their stay it is not impossible that a less than professional solicitor can frustrate the occasional - and otherwise genuine foreigner - seeking to extend his stay legally. The UK has more than its fair share of useless lawyers and I know several.
Nothing is impossible. Just to not know any better for 6 months is ridiculous
- is there nobody else with any advice for him?
Well arent you holier than thou.OL7MAX wrote:Apart from what's been covered here already - like choosing the airport carefully - I have no knowledge to share on the subject but I'd like to see the thread develop with advice that that OP is looking for rather than focusing on a hunt to determine primary culpability.

He was a genuine student but is an overstayer now. I think you TOO are missing the point. Completing the degree while being an overstayer is not something to be proud of and certainly will not impress the immigration officer. ![/b]
I don't want to alarm the OP unnecessarily but there is always a small risk of being "picked up". But I am going to anyway with people smuggler remark below
Do the people smugglers operate only to get people into the UK? I suppose there's not that much of demand going in the other direction. Is it even an offence to leave the country surreptitiously?
The lapse of your leave to remain does not mean that you do not have leave to leave, as it were, using your valid passport.foji wrote:thanks for your reply. I still got my indian passport without a valid visa.
I think positions are now open for people like yourself at the Home office and AIT.SYH wrote:OL7MAX wrote:Holier than thou is something those who've got ILR can afford to be Smarty pants
