i got a letter on 15/02/2016 which said
they have received my request for the return of my passport.
they can confirm that they are not prepared to return those documents to me
it further states: section 17 of the asylum and immigration (treatment of claimants etc) act 2004 gives the secretary of state powers to retain this passport as you have no valid leave to remain in the united kingdom and may therefore be liable to removal.

I have been in London since 2000, I had a 6 months tourist visa then was granted two years after that. Met my wife in 2009 and married in 2010, she is a German national but was born in same country as me in west Africa. We have three kids together and have been living and working in uk. She applied for a PR two years ago which was issued to her within 6 weeks. We both currently work for the NHS. Provided everything from joint account to everything u can think of. Could this have been sent by error?ally007 wrote:@perfect2241, I think you really need a help from the gurus. What's your nationality and your wife nationality? How did you enter this country in the first place? I think those questions are important so we can all advice.
Thank you very much for your time, I have had time to read through the links u sent earlier; I don't think any of those apply to me but then again, u can never be too sure with the HO. Everything with us is genuine. That letter really caught me and my wife by surprise because it came out of no where especially with the liable to removal part. Would u suggest I call them.noajthan wrote:This HO guidance may go some way to explain what is happening;perfect2241 wrote:...
