hi there,
I first should say many thanks to you Liberal Immigrant...your posts are very informative and helpful.
Our situation is as follows. My husband is an asylum seeker from 99...this sept will mark his 10th year. we met a few years back and married last year. I am a valid work permit holder until end of 2010. last year we requested a copy of his case from the home office under the data protection act and discovered although they say that he was "refused " in 2001, he was never served a letter (states it in the case as well) and was then given the right to work consectively from years following. He has been a tax payer for the past 8 years. clearly the HO has dealt with improperly...surprise surprise.
We met with our local MP and he wrote a couple of letters on our behalf . we have since found out (although only through our MP) that his case is being dealt with as a priority. We do know he is Legacy CRTS 2 as we recieved a letter from the department when we changed ouraddress.
The first MP letter went out last July and the latest letter was delivered to our MP from the HO in January, confimring his case is being dealt with as a priority (for the second time with no other info). any suggesstions on what we do next? Dont want to bombard the HO, but he has sent a heart felt letter recently detailing how he is acclaimated to UK society, job, school, wife, family (not immediate but uncle and aunt cousins, grandmothere all granted UK citizenship), no criminal record, upsatnding citizen and been contributing to society for past 8 years....
any thoughts?
