This is exactly what I was thinking. In his opinion, it’s worth giving it a ‘try’ to back to the UK anyway since he spent a fortune on the visa fees. But he is not listening when I say that if they catch him trying to com back to the UK when he knows fine well he’s not allowed, it could cause trouble if he ever tries to come back the UK on a different visa because technically he‘s committed a crime.

His ex wife has written to the embassy, aparently they have cancelled his visa. We are trying to find out if she is telling the truth or not.

It's not an indefinite, he was only here for over a year. It was a settlement.

Talk about dropping a friend in it. If his wife hasnt dropped him into it, you certainly will do by this action of yours.
Drop him into it? I don’t understand what you mean by this. I guess your meaning ‘snitching him in’. I don’t know, the way you described it sounded really negative, almost as if I’m trying to get him in trouble. Even if his wife didn’t cancel his visa, what good will it do him anyway? He can’t apply for an ILR after the 2 year period because they are not together anymore. It’s better for him to cancel the visa, and if he wants to come back - he can apply through a different type of visa. Trying to sneak in illegally will throw away his chances of that, he doesn’t understand this, and I’m desperately trying to fix the matter. I want him to be in the UK, he is a good guy and deserves a good life, he knows far more about British culture than most immigrants, more importantly he respects it! If only all our new residents were like this.

No. I’m 17 years old, hence, my username is the title of a ‘greenday’(rock band) song, I clearly have no idea about immigration laws, hence I’m on a forum trying to dish out info. If I was his wife I would at least know about how the visa system works, more importantly I would obviously have some sort of letter which I could photocopy on to him to prove that his visa is cancelled. We wouldn’t even be in this situation. Also why would I admit on the first post (If i was his wife), that I cancelled his visa without giving him his personal possesions. He is trying to travel half way across the world to retrieve them, they are obviously very important. The fact that he's having to do this, shows that his wife isn't sending them back to him obviously just trying to be a total cow. Infact, that is what she is. If I was his wife, I would be too embarassed to admit that You may think I’m not a good friend, but all I’m trying to do is to show him that it’s a bad idea to take the matter into his own hands, and it’s better to do everything legitimately instead of trying to steak his way in and mess up his chances! If they think he wasn't here for legitmate reasons this time, what will they think next time? If I wasn’t a true friend, I wouldwould probably let him get on with it, not caring about the outcome. Honestly.
