Clearly in this case returning home to apply for entry clearance was the best option for this couple. However we know how difficult it can be to get entry clearance as a spouse particularly in certain countries where the ECOs have been proven to be discriminatory.batleykhan wrote:Yes if only more overstayers would follow this procedure, rather than jumping the queue by applying from within this country.
Being honest about your circumstances alway pays off
Whilst I accept there may be slight discrimination in one or two countries, I do not believe it is rampant throughout the world. I still believe that most refusals are genuine and in accordance within law based on what is presented to the ECO at the time he makes the decision.Greenie wrote:Clearly in this case returning home to apply for entry clearance was the best option for this couple.

Also I never get the 'jumping the queue' argument. How is applying from within the UK jumping the queue when the person would only be adding to the queue overseas, and when applications from overstayers from within the UK take years to be considered?
wow..and there's me getting criticised for being negative all day..by the very people on this thread...sjimoh112 wrote:Greenie made a good point.
Rather than being in emotional wilderness in UK, people will definitely be happy and to go to their home country to apply for entry clearance if it's quick for everyone without being denailed for silly things.
Some of us don't Seem to understand how terribly hard is it to be separate for several months perhaps years from spouse or children just to get entry clearance. As a matter of fact it will become tougher and the queue will be much longer if everyone return home to apply for entry clearance and as a result of that lizziet's friend probably won't get entry clearance as swiftly as she did which they may eventually regret the decision to go home.
In my opinion ukba her trying to ruin and break up relationships and families so they can limit the number of people entering UK by keeping families apart from each other. Frustration will at a point creep in and some families may not be able to cope emotionally and financially and therefore break up. Remember not everybody can sustain maintaining their spouse and kids alone.
