I was given leave to remain until 30 dec 1991 on a visitors visa from june 1991.On 5 dec 1991 i applied for extended leave to remain but was refused on 15 january 1992. On 15 oct 1992 i made a further application to remain as a visitor but was refused on 25 feb 1993.On 16 march 1993 i applied for asylum.I had no one to go to back in my country and i was at present being supported by my sister and her husband.Application for asylum was refused on 14 may 1997. On 24 june 1998,i was served with a notice of intention to deport.However i appealed against this but was dismissed on 21 jan 1999.Since 1991 i have been living with my sister and her family.I have taken a major part in bringing up her 8 children.I am 58 years old and i have never been married even after many marriage proposals i refused because i have always thought my sisters' family as my own.
I applied for indefinite leave to remain to stay in uk on 14 years residence in december 2005.I recieved a refusal letter from the home office today[21-02-2007].It states that i do not satisfy them under paragraph 276B of the immigration rules which is as follows;
(b)" he has had at least 14 years continuous residence in the United Kingdom, excluding any period spent in the United Kingdom following service of notice of liability to removal or notice of a decision to remove by way of directions under paragraphs 8 to 10A, or 12 to 14, of Schedule 2 to the Immigration Act 1971 or section 10 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 Act, or of a notice of intention to deport him from the United Kingdom"
Could someone please tell me what this means,as i do not understand why i have been told that i have not been resident in uk for 14 years when i have since june 1991. I have been served with a deportation notice and i would like to know what legal action can be taken.Please can some one help because i have not got anyone to return to.
thanx
