1: Yes i have proof i came in at the age of 13years because my mother previously appied for stay cuz she got married to eu national which was refused so the HO has my passport i came in with and also when i spoke to an immigration office all she did was type in my name and dob all my application details and when i entered uk showed up on system so they know when i came in.

2: i am from nigeria

3: was attacked before and got arrested but i was left to go with just a warning

4: i dont get along with her bcuz she wasnt there while i was growing she left me when i was 1year old and if she was there maybe i wouldnt be domestically abused by my father.

5: her current status is still pending as she re applied

6: shes been working bcuz when she first applied they gave her COA which allows you to work.

7: i submited letters from my school and college tuturs

8: i have no contact with my father since 5years and beside i dont want to see him anymore.

@ babycake

LMAO sorry but someone whos went to high school and college and game in this country as a minor ....i found out my status when i was 17years and rang up ukba and explain everything and here is what the lady said.

1: since you have attending high school and college it will be unfair to ask you to leave due to the fact you have socialised with the system....made friends etc.

2: relationship counts no matter the age all you need is to prove and convince them it is genuine relationship she said (even people wih kids get refused due to they dont prove the authenticity os the relationship)

3: the ukba wont be in a possition to question a minor of that age (13years) for his or her action then.

4: The ukba will take consideration in my best interest to protect me (if he can dump me he sure can heat me she said)

finally she asked me to print form flr o and apply with a detailed letter stating my situation and leave it to the case worker to deside but shes pretty sure it will be off good outcome as they wont want to take all that i have archieved away from me because overstaying wasnt by my doing and i found out early and making effort to resolve it (applied whilst under age) all this will be put into consideration

@babecake

you also said smer about a girl been here since 11years??? did she attend school??? did she attend college??? what age did she enter uk?has she got evidence of when she game in???has she got any form of reason not to be sent home???etc

form flr o is outside the rule and my mp conformed to me that the ukba said i have a compassion case i just need to wait and be patient

cheers
With all due respect , are you able to prove you spoke to an HO case worker and can they validate what you just told us. Foer all you know your case will be dealt with by a completely different team in a different office. there are a lot of people on this forum with straigh forward cases where they have British children but have had their applications refused so unorthodox reason and they are likely to get these refusals over turned. Like Baby cakes pointed out there are a lot of things that could go against you becuase any form of abuse has to be proven, for example hospital reports, police reports the list is endless and now that you are over 18 you are not obligated to stay in the same country as your mother wheter you get on or not.

Im just pointing out a few fact. People are just being honest with you and trying yo give you advise on how you can potentially strenghten your application. If you have doen research on your own family background and can prove you have noone that can be a plus. try to pick up the advise you are being given and not having a go at people trying to advise you.

thanks alot for your details response and vital information i do appreciate it but i applied as a MINOR and case will still be dealth with as a MINOR and from what i understand its overstayers that surfer refusals the most.. the ukba dont care if you have 20kids or none most time they need a real compelling reason why an applicant breach his or her previous visa condition thats number key point they look into... your right about what tie i have in the county but its on a compassion grounds outside the rules for discretionary leave to remain n i applied before the changes

i get what you mean they can be mean but its just depends on who your case fall into...

best of luck and thanks again
Once again you are incorrect UKBA paramount duty is to protect children, so they do take into account whether or not you have,( my marriage application was refused but i was granted DLR based on my child's best interest),most of the applicant on here is based on children as this is the driving force for FLR o applications, please speak to a solicitor and know your rights, I wont comment any further as it seem you ask for advise but doesnt really want to hear the truth.
Please be aware you applied AS a MINOR you are NO longer a MINOR, therefore cant be threated as such. Please get proper legal advise and so you know exactly where you stand and what to expect.

Ukba is sooooo messed up right now that cases that seem strong is being rejected so who knows maybe cases like ONLYME1 are dealt with more positively. With the way ukba are refusing people now, no one can predict anybody's case outcome.

Its a shame as his case is by no means water tight i was trying to explain to him politely but as u can see he has already decided his case. :lol:

Parents are being separated from their minors husband from wives and so on. let alone his case.

I hope he takes into consideration what has been said,as there are lot of questions that they will throw at him. Dealing with UKBA are by know means straight forward.

Yes I know its crazy, noone knows but the frightening thing is it seem so hard now a days both strong and weak applications are being dashed out at present it is very worrying. Before discretion was being applied but now I really cant say David Cameron is on a mission to rid all immigrants but i wish him luck as it wont be that easy as a lot of people has a solid family life and wont just go.

have faith please am not and will never say i have a strong case as i dont know what that means but the only thing strong i got is FAITH:)

oishola77778 wrote: regardless of you been in receipt of a removal notice, I would suggest you go ahead with your appeal accordingly, this places you in a stronger position in face of law ( you have done the right thing and homeoffice not complying), you will find that they usually will come up with an address where they have issued the notice if at all issued, this I so much doubt.

Another possibility is, if you have ever in cause of your application given them address of a solicitor representing you, they usually use that as an escape route, funny enough once a solicitor is no longer representing you they just address it back to sender, which technically is no trace on home office record.

if you want further clarification, ring UKBA ON 08706067766 and make further enquiries, don't worry as they have nothing to do to you.
Thank you so much for your message, it was really helpful :)

hi all. just to update u guys on what happened today. i met with solicitor today to discuss my case, he showed me the refusal letter. apparently i was refused on many grounds, it was basically a 3 page letter. lol.
let me just brief it.

1: i did not have leave to remain at the time of application
2: i do not have sole responsibilities of my child
3:i haven't lived here for more than 20 years
4; i was not under 18 at the time of my application
5; i spent 21 years in my home country therefore i haven't lost any ties therefore i can go back.
6:they don't believe my relationship with my girlfriend is genuine

they concluded by saying..... we have carefully considered your application, however whilst we acknowledge that u may have a genuine and subsisting relationship with your partner and child, your application falls for refusal under eligibility requirements of the immigration rules as set out earlier which are mandatory requirements which apply to all applicants regardless of whether the EX.1. exemption criteria is met. As u have u have failed to meet those eligibility requirements, u cannot benefit from the criteria as set out at EX.1.

HOPE THIS HELPS U GUYS .
IM TAKING THEM TO COURT BECAUSE THE CLEARLY IGNORED THE BEST INTEREST OF MY CHILD.
