A lot of questions

[lietuve]

My story: claimed asylum in 2007. Home Office misplaced my file, and only sorted the mess last month. Received my ARC card 2 weeks ago. Read somewhere that I can ask for work permit in exceptional circumstances, as a long wait was not a fault of my own. Is this possible? Also, would it be vise to ask the H.Office for permission to marry straigt away? We have been together since 2007, she's British, and we have a daughter together. Also, is it worth writing a letter to HO and telling them about my family situation/daughter? We could not get married up until now as I did not have any documents.

If you have been waiting more than 1 year for a decision on your asylum application it is well worth requesting permission to work as in many circumstances it is normally granted.

If you have a caseowner at the Home Office I'd suggest you write them a letter informing them of your family circumstances so that they can take account of this when they make a decision.
