Sorry, what does that mean? Do you mean that the stated expiry date on the previous visa had passed and there was no new visa in place? If that is what you mean then we need to establish this ..... was the application for a new visa made before the expiry date of the old visa?i have had in the past of 9 months non-stamp in the passport
"...For applications in the long
residence category, you must complete at least 10
years. Please do not apply more than 28 days
before completing the qualifying period. If you
apply earlier than that, your application is likely to
be refused."
This seems to suggest that whilst no offence has been committed all of your family are serious overstayers ... for years. I hope I am wrong about that ... other opinions most welcome .... but do seek professional advice!12. Diplomats who cease to be exempt from immigration control
12.1 Persons who are entitled to exemption from control under s.8(2)-8(4) of the 1971 Act (as amended by the 1988 Act), and who subsequently lose that claim to exemption (eg diplomat leaving employment), do not commit any offence under the 1971 Act if they fail to apply for leave to remain in the United Kingdom. Except in serious cases of overstaying, the objective will be to regularise their status by granting 28 days' leave (or some other period if they apply and are found eligible).
