FYI, I had a deportation order, IS151A issued which predates less than 2yr period, though I never received the notice, only mentioned verbally. However, I was allowed to stay temporarily and was issued with an IS96.
If only I had found this forums earlier..then surely I would have applied for a spouse visa from my home country. Unfortunately, due to bad/wrong advice...ALL FROM SO CALLED EXPERTS WHO WORKS IN EITHER HO OR WERE SOLICITORS THEMSELVES!), I applied within the UK. A solicitor made the application for us. When it was refused, he asked if we have any strong medical grounds to stay in the UK, but we haven't, and so, I'm back in my own country now, with my 19mth old son, having lived together with my husband for 5 years in the UK.
We're currently putting our documents together as evidence, and my hubby is waiting for an employment letter since he's just completed his studies this month, to make a fresh spouse visa application.
However, for your case Keni, you do seem to have strong medical grounds, BUT, the downside is the waiting time. From what I know, in my country, visa processing time is rather quick, so I'm hoping for the best. I've been adviced by various experienced experts that even if my application were to be rejected, I still would have a strong chance of success during the appeal.
I will definitely keep you posted of the outcome.
