Hello Everyone
Am about to extend my 10yr parent route leave to remain in january 2021, first week precisely.
We applied in 2016, me, my wife and 3 kids the eldest being just over 7 yrs then and were granted the 10yr parent route in 2017.
Today we have 5 kids and all of them are now British citizens including their mum apart from me and hence my application for renewal. We got married here in 2008 while schooling here . All the kids live with her now and so she gets housing benefit and all other ones the kids are entitled to as British. I do not get any as no recourse to public funds apply to me.
The issue here is that we had issues in early 2018.... me and their mum and she actually said it wont work anymore so I moved out late 2018. But i have been in contact with the kids on regular basis... twice or thrice a week. I do take/pick the small boy to/from school and attend his parent evening. I enlisted the older boy in a football club and take him every Saturday. I have letters from the school and the club to back all these up. I take them to gp and dentist whenever the need arise. To swimming Maxwell. I shop clothes and groceries for them. Buy the African foodstuff atleast once a month. Their mum ca testify to this. Take them to cinemas, football matches. I have proof of these activities as I still love them dearly and will do anything for them.
I paid over 7000 pds for their naturalisation, paid over 4000pds for our last joint application, paid for their British passport, paid and got my own country passport for them and buy their uniforms and shoes. Basically am there for them even though I have issues with their mum.
My question here is how do I go about this application because they said ...do not apply as a parent if you qualify as a partner. Is she still my partner? What about the parental responsibility aspect? I also read clauses like.... the other parent must not be your partner and must be British. This is so confusing because I thought I could just extend since am on 10yr parent route.
I met 2 or 3 solicitors and what they are asking is above the roof for me adding the ihs fees and d immigration fees will mean I need over 4500pds.... I feel I could put it in myself and wait for the outcome and maybe spend money on appeal if its negative rather than spending it now. Though am optimistic as I have no criminal record or whatsoever.
I need genuine advice on how to go about this and what are my chances and likely obstacles to look out for if there are any.
Thank you all and Godess.
