Struggling to follow here. Oman citizens don't need a visa for the UK. So I'm guessing you entered on EVW. Correct?binji9186 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 11, 2022 2:24 amJust adding to this that it is partially not my fault as this very huge delay from the Home Office and the 8 or 12 weeks period of implementing the decision must've took place 3-4 months into my visit visa period which mean that I could have stayed within my visa limits if my visa was issued on time.
YesStruggling to follow here. Oman citizens don't need a visa for the UK. So I'm guessing you entered on EVW. Correct?
NoHave you then claimed asylum?
Family Reunion - partner of a refugeewhat visa have you applied for?
Appeal allowed, but visa still being processedHas this visa now been granted?
Recieved an email of decision overturn and was asked to resubmit passport to VAC which I did weeks ago, other than that currently I only have the court decision document as a proof of legal statusWas there a letter from the HO to this effect?
Everything takes time now. You have to sit back and wait. Not sure how it works for partners of refugees regarding international passports. It might be taken and not given back, but don't quote me on that.binji9186 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 11, 2022 10:44 amYesStruggling to follow here. Oman citizens don't need a visa for the UK.

Yes im aware indeed and been waiting patiently for a long time now but my question currently is i'm I currently considered an overstayer or not? plus I dont understand why would my passport be taken away as I'm not the refugee here but my partner is, has this happened before in some instances?Everything takes time now.

If that happens, you would need to apply for a travel document.
Does section 3c applies in my case when my application was made overseas and not in the UK?vinny wrote: ↑Fri Nov 11, 2022 11:26 amIf you made an in-time valid application in the UK, then you are not an overstayer.
Else, if you entered more than six months ago, then you are an overstayer.
No it does not apply if an initial application was made overseas.binji9186 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 11, 2022 11:56 amDoes section 3c applies in my case when my application was made overseas and not in the UK?vinny wrote: ↑Fri Nov 11, 2022 11:26 amIf you made an in-time valid application in the UK, then you are not an overstayer.

Could I possibly be asked for it when arriving back to UK after my visa is processed? is it possible that I could be refused to enter based on it? would explaining this in full details to border officer help me to avoid being refused to enter?CR001 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 11, 2022 12:01 pmNo it does not apply if an initial application was made overseas.binji9186 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 11, 2022 11:56 amDoes section 3c applies in my case when my application was made overseas and not in the UK?vinny wrote: ↑Fri Nov 11, 2022 11:26 amIf you made an in-time valid application in the UK, then you are not an overstayer.

And there's your problem.
I couldn't leave my partner alone indefinitely, since I do hold a valid schengen visa I was planning to go spain for couple of days visit to a friend and then come back to UK to activate it, i'm very worried now that I could be asked about my overstay and never thought that the advice I was given previously that my status has changed after recieving court decision could be challenged now.
we checked with VAC previously and were told that it is possible to authorise a friend or a family member to collect my documents, so it will be on records that I wasn't the one who collected it.
Your letter to resubmit your passport should have said something along these line;binji9186 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 11, 2022 3:13 pmwe checked with VAC previously and were told that it is possible to authorise a friend or a family member to collect my documents, so it will be on records that I wasn't the one who collected it.
is this possibly why they are now taking so long to process my visa? could I be refused visa issue on that basis after all this wait? if visa is issued subsequently, does that means im off the hook?Ticktack wrote: ↑Fri Nov 11, 2022 3:28 pmYour letter to resubmit your passport should have said something along these line;binji9186 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 11, 2022 3:13 pmwe checked with VAC previously and were told that it is possible to authorise a friend or a family member to collect my documents, so it will be on records that I wasn't the one who collected it.
The decision to grant you a visa blah blah blah.
In order for you to do this, you would be required to submit your passport to the VAC center. If already in the UK, you would need to go back to your home country and do this.
This isn't verbatim of course, just an assumption.
Now, the HO records would show that you're still in country. You've now completely destroyed all the immigration rules by doing this.
Fingerprinting was started mostly because of scenarios like this. Where people would get UK visas, stay in the UK and send passport back home for renewal. Without actually being on home soil.
VAC aren't the HO, they are just regular people doing a job as a middle man. They couldn't care less who picks up your passport or where you are. They just need to know that you authorised it. Almost like a banker would do.
I can't even think of a way forward at this juncture!
and what will happen then?
I couldn't tell you that for a fact. However, you can't show blatant disregard for the rules and expect that there wouldn't be repercussions. At every turn, you break the rules.is this possibly why they are now taking so long to process my visa? could I be refused visa issue on that basis after all this wait? if visa is issued subsequently, does that means im off the hook?
Why not? According to your previous thread, your partner has been in the UK for 4 years in a few weeks time.
