I dont see why you are forcing the issue. People are more successful if they go home and apply outside the country. As mentionned above, doing it incountry is like forcing someone to let you stay in their home when you have been asked to leave. If you kindly depart and say from afar may i come back in, they are more likely to be generous and let you come back especially since the UK is on good terms with the USA and you guys have a child. It would be better if you were married but nevermind.Andrewg33 wrote:We know what we have to do now its just a case of finding the money in the meantime,my boss at work is going to help us out with legal advice so we can weigh up what other options are available for us,i will keep everyone updated on our progress for those who have been following this thread
Thanks again.
Andrew, without repeating the sound advice of others here, I'm intrigued by the "big expense" you refer to in your wife flying back to the States, as opposed to the cost of the legal advice you will need for an in-country applicaton, even if your boss is assisting you in this.Andrewg33 wrote:Please can anyone advise us on the implications of her being able to stay here by doing an in-country application and what our chances are or point us in the direction of someone who can help in that situation (maybe someone that has been through it),we cant finacially afford to pay the big expense of applying from the states,we are able to get by ok with me just working but we will have trouble being able to save money for this and have no means to get it elsewhere,we need our life back,please help.
Thanks
It looks like that way to me. You are gearing up for a fight and unnecessary one at that. What are trying to prove by having her stay here when there is a concession but do it your way and ignore everyone's advice.Andrewg33 wrote:We were married 4 years ago,i wouldn't say were forcing the issue just looking at all our options before we proceed.
Hello Chibage - just to clarify - there isn't a Ban on overstaying family members?chibage wrote:chuggletop there are no bans for family members, only refusals under 320 (11)
Please don't start the "we are allies" thing....strangely enough another US citizen wrote the same thing a while back, when finding difficulties obtaining a visa...jjohnmichael4u wrote: hey andrew. i really feel for you m8. i am in the very same boat only it is me that is the overstayer, not my misses, and we just had our second as well. it sucks when my children have more rights than myself as they are british citizens.
i love the uk but im a lil fed up with what we have to go through to get legal here. i mean fer f' sakes our countries are suppose to be allies. i wonder if my govt of the usa has put as much grief on uk citizens trying to emmigrate to america. somehow i highly doubt it.
