I don't buy that you cant afford a trip back to your home country. You can afterall work there to pay your way until you can return. Now you say it is too expensive. Is it more expensive that 750 pounds you are about to throw away for a rejection. And your wife is uk so she can apply for benefits if she can't return to work due to her second child so you really need to get your act together. Everyone thinks its better to stay here and fight, they are wrong, more times than likely people get their immigration status corrected quickly and nicely in this manner. When people stay, it takes year of struggle and on top of that, if you are illegal, you still can be caught and deported and then be banned. Would you still prefer that possibility when you could go home and fix it.jjohnmichael4u wrote:thanks for the input but the only answer i see here is you all saying to return to my home country to re apply. i did that the first time wich got me my entry clearance visa. my situation has changed though. as i have been married to a uk citizen for 5 years now and have lived here for five years. the uk is my home. i have no place to go to if i have to return. likewise me and my partner just had our second child. my wife would have to quite her job and we not the funds for this crap.
Unfortunately, DP3/96 has apparently been revoked.jjohnmichael4u wrote:reading into this other sites say i could win under something called dp3/96. whatever that is?
I'm still very confused abt this...does this means if you leave before 1st oct and return to the uk before 1st oct you will not be banned from re-entering?If you return before the 1st October when the new legislation for overstayers come into force, you won't be subject to the automatic 1 year ban (or 10 years for extreme cases).
Stay and fight you say??jjohnmichael4u wrote:i am currently waiting on clarification on this re-entry ban from my local mp's office. he was of great help to me last time and am sure will be again. i know what folks have told me but this kind of stuff opens a whole can of worms.
like for instance everyone says to return home. well after living here five years now, this is my home.
ive a newborn child,
ive been married to a uk citizen for five years,
it opens a big debate. not knocking anyones experiences or advice but sometimes it takes individuals to fight them in order for there to be change. im just debateing if i want to be one of those guinea pigs again. i was put to sleep last time lol and had to return home.
someone could answer me this though. should it be a settlement visa im after or a spouses visa. or are they the same? will update once ive had the word from mp's office.

It's 14 years mate, not 10, you'd have to hang on for another nine years. 10 years is for legal residence.jjohnmichael4u wrote:

What you need to knowjjohnmichael4u wrote:does anyone have a link to sample tests for this?
Have a look at the VAF4, but just to give you a heads up, you'll actually do the application online through the UKVisas site. Once you've completed the online application, it will direct you to make an appointment for the biometrics, which will be done at a USCIS in your area once you return to the US. Once you've done the biometrics, send in all supporting documents to the appropriate consulate either via post or courier. Have a look through www.britainusa.com because the application process has changed quite a bit since you applied 2 years ago.so that would be a vaf4 correct
