[Indie007]

For everyone that has been granted, CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU ALL.
@ Indie007, congratulations.
@ Verbina, hahahhahahaha, what a majestic way to start the New Year, wonderful, congratulations girl, you nailed it.
Today is ...I dont know what to say. My Zambrano application has just beeen refused, now thinking of making a flr o application based on parent of a british child, father went cukoo long time ago, he is not interested in either baby or I but doesn't know where and what to do, please folks i need advice and help. Come to my rescue, i plead. I was given an appeal right, but from what i have read so far, it takes ages and no positive outcome. Cant find my legs What a day!!!

After a messy breakup with my ex , i made an flro application as a parent in Dec and was granted in January.i have a 7 month old baby and i included the following :

-Letters addressed to me from the day centre where i took my son(eg letters sent to me when i joined massaged classes and other classes),my nhs bill and other letters addressed to me (my nhs bill was now below £1000 )

-immunisations letters and other correspondance from the healthvisitors and surgery
-photos of me and my son at church ,and other places we love to visit and also with friends and family
-All my education certificates for my degree and other courses i paid for and did whilst waiting to regularise my stay
-proof of accomodation
- proof that i had an arrangement in place for paying the nhs for maternity fees that i was charged
-letter from ex confirming that he was paying maintenance ,i have an orange prepaid debit card where he transfers the mone ,so i included the statement from orange
-support letters from my church ,and close friends who all know how i was struggling as a single parent
-i also included all the information about the applications i made before and my personal statement which included the relevent legislation or rules.i went on the flro guidelines on the home office page to ensure i included everything they required and that my application met their criteria and most importantly i was honest about my whole situation and i proved that i was not going to depend on the state as i had maintenance and acomodation in place and also that i am the primary carer of my son despite my nasty ex having parental responsibility(wish i could take it away ,lol).In your case , if you have COA and are working , even better , because you can prove that you are self suffient and also prove the relationship with your child.Good luck. i hope this information helps .

Thanks guys for the support and information.Another blog i found really valuable is the free movement blog ,i go there religiously as they always have up to date information on whats happening.

Thanks so much Verbs. Now I feel much better and proactive to take the next step.
My solicitor is saying the longer the better so to wait but the wait is killing me and no harm in ringing the tribunal to see what they say. I will let you know how it goes. God bless you so much. Big hug x
Believe!!!!! Where have you been???? Welcome back I hope everything going ok? God bless you. Got 8 weeks to go now, not long now and can't wait. Lol.
Just still waiting for my appeal date and going to ring the tribunal to see if I can get anything early as been waiting for about 4 months now with no date so far.

I agree with indies suggestions. Apply as the carer once you include evidence as sole carer. My application was refused b cos I'm still on a relationship with my child's father. Also, it seems they are dealing with applications very quickly these days.

All the best.

@ada4msd Thank you very much for congratulating me darling!!!

Im terribly sorry to hear your Zambrano was refused, but there were a few ladies on here who had been in exactly same position, then they went and applied FLR(O) as a parent of a British child and had been granted!!!( I cant remember for sure, but I think Time503 and another lady GH1001 or something)

Hopefully you wont have to wait too long for your application to be processed either as they are pretty quick with new applications nowdays!!!

@Indie007 gave a brilliant and very detailed guidance here (high five @Indie007 babe), so Im sure if you go for FLR(O) you ll soon be granted!!

Keep your chin up babe!!!

@God'sAuthority OMG only 8 weeks to go awwwwwwwhhhh!!! Cant believe it!!! Time flies!!!
Keeping my everything crossed for you honey!!!!

@Believe Hello stranger ! Yep Im still here holding the front (while our wise MPs are chilling in woodwork tut tut)

@k_alibaba No hun, it seems like that at the moment as if its mostly new applications, but in fact there was a lot of extensions here as well and the most recent extension applications have been completed in some seriously record times. So dont worry yourself, you wont have to wait for too long!

[k_alibaba]

@Verb Thanks and Congrats for the DLR. Do they allow you public funds ?
Although we had been Allowed but didn't Claimed.

Thanks hun! Nope they no longer allow public funds, as of 2012. But you and your family will still have recourse to public funds since you were granted under the old rules

[nilemarques]

Hi everybody!! Hope I find you all well!! @Believe, welcome back. Hope all's ok with you. Just a quick post. I've just come across an interesting judgement which relates to the 7 year concession and brings hope to those of us in that particular predicament. Link is below....

Thanks @nile for that case law.

It will be usefull for me as I applied in Feb 2012 prior to the rule changes....

[nazreen12]

my husband got his indefinite leave to remain as the judge allowed our appeal me and my children will get DLR.Im just wandering if it is true one of my friend told me that my children could apply their indefinite once we have the visa .

Hi Nazreen12,
I dont know how true that is. Well a solicitor once said that under the post july 2012 article 8 route to settlement, it is 10 years (2.5 years x4). To the best of my knowledge, your husband's ILR is a guarantee that you will all finally settle here. but beware of hear say, so you dont waste money applying for ILR when its not yet time. Just suggesting.

You can seek another professional advice or opinion on that.

Yes,Nazreen12,your children should be given indefinite leave,but not you,if the HO only grant them 2 and half years,send it back to them,this has been declare unlawful by the court,
This is how it works,if children are applying for discretionary leave on basis of their parents,if one of them is a British or ILR,the children should be given ILR

nilemarques - thanks for the links. The case highlights the difficulties face by many people when HO refused to follow their own policies. The judge point out that without any countervailing factors parent with child born or brought to uk who has lived seven years should be allow to regularise their status. Very important judgement. The ironic of it is that such favourable judgement are not published.

Good morning Forum!!!!!!!!!! @elastep that's the good news. its a hope for 7 year application. Home office introduce new form for family and private life flr(fp). Home office just try to refuse as much as application they can on this category basis. Home office doesn't care, just standard refusal for overstayers. Someone told me home office have a secrate policy to case workers if anyone come this family and private life category refused them as much as you can, lets see in the court if they able to come there.

Hi Shondra i agree with you in your point about them refuseing alot of applications for the sake of it, alot of the times they even ignore the law and there own guidence.

For insatance when applying as a couple they are sometimes refuseing and not even taking into consideration the best intrests of the child which is always to be with both parents a good soliciter will argue this after all a parental relationship cannot be maintained on skype.

When legal aid stopped they knew some people would just run out of finances to fight back and then are denied access to the justice system.

I noticed since they started all this some people who applied as a couple with a child and then was refused all of a sudden split up with there partner then not so long after put in a fresh application and was granted.

I find this disgustingl i would never ever give up my family for a peice of paper if you are a family you should stay together.

I always find it how can i put it A LITTLE FISHY when a couple are refused and then the next thing they are seperated and an application as sole carer has been submitted.

[khwaja73]

help
hello everyone I wish you all the best

[ada4msd]

@Indie007, I can't thankyou wll enough for your quick, deep and unreserved response. I am grateful. I will try and get similar letters. My fear is that my nhs bill is above £1000, but I am paying monthly, but there is no letter fron nhs stating any agreed plan of payment. But it shows in my statement of account. I do have COA and am working, I will see what i can get. Thanks again for your immense help. Will keep you updated.
@This Year, I will be appealing first and then make the flr o application. That is the one i can afford.
@ Verbina, thumbs up for Indie007 for the response.

Goodmorning all. have a great day. Please less thinking.

@This year,no problem. You're welcome.
@ Kukuwife. Personally i feel that the HO are corrupt and will try by any means to discredit people and make them suffer. What do they think we are feeding our children. I hate to see my children suffering the way they are now because someone has been instructed by Theresa May to make our lives as miserable as possible. I thank God that a judgement like this has come out. Hopefully it will send a message out to her.
Have a blessed day everyone.
