Hello all,
Pls, i will like you to give me your opinion on my situation... I am a single mum still on a post study visa. my baby father is married to another woman but he got british passport for my child. I went to see a solicitor and he said I should not do flr(o) as i will be refused because I have just done 3 years in the country. He said the Zambrano route is the best but all that I have read on the Zambrano route is not encouraging at all. It is very unfortunate that I have paid the solicitor half of his fees before i realised he will use zambrano route. Do I have a better chance as a single mum of a british child using the FLR(O)? The solicitor has confused me more and he said (authoritatively) that he is very sure the application will be refused if i do flr(o).
Pls, what do you think is my best chance before my visa runs out in mid August? Thanking you for your anticipated assistance and I wish you the best with your applications.

Hello dear, take it from someone who has been down the Zambrano route (I just got refused on Monday and am still reeling from the devastation of having waited for 19months before the refusal and losing my mum recently), FLR(o) seems to be the best choice for now. The interesting thing about being refused the Zambrano DRC is that the Home Office advised me to consider applying for Article 8 because of my children, especially my British son which is what am about to do. Why bother applying for Zambrano with a 99.9% chance of refusal. Back in 2012 my solicitor also refused my suggestion to put in Article 8 as well when 'Parent of a child in the UK' route was introduced but now we are back at square one. Besides, Zambrano route does not lead to permanent residency (at least for now). All the best.

There is a difference between parent of British child and EX1. Though both are flro application. For the former,there are a lot of requirements to meet but the latter is outside the rules so a proper kind of discretion. You will need to look at the forms again and you will understand what I mean.

Homeoffice advise to put in an Article 8 application is a generic letter sent with all Zambrano refusals.The word "advise"used there means they are not bound by any cosequences when you are refused.Article 8 is not bad as said but one thng is,it is not guaranteed and you donot have a right of appeal when refused.JR is your only possible remedy and its very expensive.Dont also forget the conditions on the LTR are very restrictive.I will advise she puts in both application simultaneously as one is under Community Law and the other is under the Immigration rules.She should first put in the FLR(0)to avoid her visa running out,then put in the Zambrano after ,attaching a covering note referencing her passport is with them already.@GLH2012,you have a right of appeal right?Go for it and it will be overturned.I have my hearing at Tribunal next month on Zambrano refusal.Victory is a sure!!!All promises in Christ are yes!!!

Go for FLR(o)...if you can get another lawyer please do a competent one. If not use this lawyer and read more about the parent of a child route. Put as much evidence as possible, payslips, anything from school, court, family, photo's, council tax etc things to prove u support ur child 100%..where is the dad..u have to show that the dad cant take care of the child important if not they can refuse based on the father who is british and can look after ur child. .All the best Also

They will detain and deport you, this happened to a friend of mine, especially given the fact that its from the enforcement team. These people don't give visas they book flights for you to go home.
In addition this happened to a guy on here he was detained then release,not everyone is lucky to get release.

@kaban
Please can you tell us your story please about your application eg your previous and present immigration status.......if they cancelled the interview the first time due to you applying then contact the ukba and check for update for your application or ask your solicitor it might be application has been refuse and you haven't took any action to that effect..........does the interview letter state temporary admission? If so I think they will be asking you to report until your application get decided.
Reply as soon as possible

You should know that the H.O is not organised. The enforcement service might have had your file on their table before you made the pending application. And they are responding to it now. Don't worry, if you have a pending application, they will find out at the interview and ask you to report on a weekly/monthly basis until a decision is made on your application.
On the other hand, they could have sent the decision for the pending application to a wrong/previous address. And they need to enforce it now, but before they need to know if some has changed in your life that allow to beg for their "conditional" compassion.
Please do your homework and be morally prepared for anything.

Before attending any interview I suggest you ring ukba to confirm your application is still pending if so you have nothing to worry Chidy is right you will be asked to report or ring the enforcement team n tell them you got an outstanding application they will confirm it and ask you to ignore it that happened to my friend

Yes I think it's sensible to ring the enforcement team and update them,
But then again you will only get such invitations if there is a decision pending.
Speak to your solicitor and see but an invitation from the enforcement team is generally not a good one. You have compassionate grounds why they insist on not granting you. Crazy, finger cross you win your case.
