It depends on your existing terms of your current visa.. i.e if you have spent any time on student visa, it wont count towards ILR.

OP was on ayslum as mentioned in other post and was granted ELR for 1 year.

If you have been informed that your case is legacy case then it should be dealt by 2011 and you will be granted ILR.

Best of luck

no have not been told its a legacy case, can i apply under art8?

[hamid84]

Your case is automatically legacy case so you now need to push Home Office to make quick decision.

Like i said, your case will be considered as legacy case because you claimed ayslum before 2007.

Yes you have full rights of applying under article 8.

Check my other threads regarding legacy cases to get an idea how you could speed up this process.

How do you personal see my case?

Hi there,

I'm a newbie on this forum and this is my situation:
My partner(woman from Benin-West africa) and I(man from Ivory Coast-west africa) came in dec 2001 as students,we had one child in 2005 and claimed asylum in march 2006.It was refused the same year.But because of the child I think we're still in a NASS accommodation and the Home Office continue to provide my partner and child with weekly benefits,but they cut mine.Our circumstances have since changed because we now have 3 children(a 3 & half year-old, 1 & half year-old, and a new born babe).Our sollicitor sent all 4 photos of each one of us with a later explaining everything 6 months ago.
Later...one week ago, I called the H.O. on their enquiry line and they told that my partner and I are not on the legacy case list.Is it tue? Where could we go from here? What does take for people to be on legacy case list? We are very disappointed for that and don't have a clue of what to do next. Do we go and see the MP to act on our behaf? do we stress the situation to our sollicitor(we're on legal aid) who really does not do us any favour on the progress of our case.We've been with him since 2007.Please we need guidance from all those who've been and done that and got their legacy case sorted with a positive response(ILR). Regards

You claimed asylum in 2006 so your case is not LEGACY.

You case will be dealt under fast track system + it's only been 3 years since you have claimed asylum so please allow some more time and have patience.

It could / could not be good idea to contact MP at this stage. The more time passes, more chances of success.

I personally would suggest to wait for some more time. I know its painful as we went through this for 8 years.

Here is what i have experienced about case worker.

If you send him/her hell of letters, he/she will either

Get fed up and say.. Uffff this applicant is too much.. I am leaving him on side and will do whenever i am in good mood

OR

Ufff, this applicant is in need of ILR after so much pain so grant him stay.

I wish everyone very good luck and remember, its your case and you have to fight for it. Do not fully rely on solicitors. They are only money making machines.

Hi hamid84, I'm honestly confused about your above quote, bcos I've read in forums where I've told my situation and this was their answer :


..I definatly think u r a legacy case!.. a legacy case is were an initial asylum claim was made before march 2007! ring H.O public enquiry, they will be able to confirm it for u!

Please I really do need clarification. My claim has certainly been made befaore march 2007!
