legacy cases 2

Post by salimnina » Mon Mar 03, 2008 3:56 pm

can anyone elaborate this link, it seems some of the stuff isn't clear

[quote]What to do while waiting to receive a legacy questionnaire?
The BIA Q&A sheet states that individuals should do no more than update the BIA with their
new address and contact details. Beyond this, they should wait to hear from the BIA before
providing any further information that is relevant to their case.
However, the BIA have now informed us that some people may never receive a questionnaire
even though their case is within the legacy backlog. Some people in this backlog may never have
their case considered by the Case Resolution Directorate, which is the part of the BIA that is
responsible for dealing with the backlog.
At present, BIA enforcement may take steps to remove an individual without his or her case
being considered by the case resolution directorate. This may change by next year, but in the
meantime some individuals may be at risk of simply being detained for removal despite never
having received a questionnaire. Removal could take place within only a few days of the person
being detained. (For more information on removals, please see the “Removals & Judicial
Reviewâ€

OMG, this has freaked me out completely. My husband applied for ILR and got reply that he will be considered by the BIA. What if he doesn't get questionnaire and they will deport him??? I am so scared and tried talking to him. I am an EEA national who will apply for permanent residency next year.. I know he can apply on EEA2 but he doesn't want to do it.

Guys, what would you advise???

Does your husband have an application or appeal pending? as long as something is pending the removals directorate can't remove your husband. However, if nothing is pending and he is in touch with BIA then he might be removed or granted leave to remain.

If he is not in touch then he should update his address with BIA and wait until the they contact him.


That's all you can do!

Hi Paul, thanks for your response. My husband came from Iraq to the UK in 1999 and applied for asylum. He has not been answered by the HO until 2004 when they refused his application on the fact that Iraq is a safe place now :evil: Anyway, he has appealed and received 3 years discretionary leave. This leave has expired in March 2007 and following his solicitor's advise we applied for ILR. This has been pending for over a year now. The solicitor has asked for an update but we always receive the " standard " answer. We are thinking of getting local MP involved...

If I understand well, as long as he is awaiting decision, they can not deport him...right? What if they reject his ILR, can he still apply for family permit or would he have to leave the country?

thanks, Petana

Petana, I think you should wait until the Home Office contacts your husband. You have something pending and until a decision is made they won't remove him.

Salimnina, call the HO and update your address. Are you receiving NASS support? if you JR is pending then you are entitled for NASS support. If you receive NASS support you will come under the defined priorities of the CRD. As far as I know you also have young children. They will resolve your case in the near future if you receive support.
The second thing is you are an absconder and that will have a negative impact on your case. Do you or your dependants have any criminal conviction? When you came to the UK did you have travel documents?

Nothing much can be said and keep in mind that there is no guarantee that you will be granted leave to remain.
