I really really don't know what to do or where to start. This is my case
![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
Came to the UK as a visitor (Dec 2001), visiting a family member (mother) that was under a workpermit back then. I'm over 18 and my two brothers are under 18. Automatically the other 2 fell under her workpermit and I managed to switch from visiting visa to a student visa 2002 - 2004. She couldn't cope with the fees for my studies so I stopped attending college on those grounds.
She then got ILR sometime in 2004 and now she is in process of applying for a Brit passport. I managed to apply as a dependant over 18 yrs old whilst my student visa was still valid. I got the acknoledgement of receipt but still waiting for a results for nearly 2 yrs now. What are the chances of my application being successful?
As from the day I applied everything came to a dead stop except for my love life. I've been in a stable relationship with a Brit national for 2 yrs now and this is my fifth year in the UK. She knows my situation and we are planning to get married as soon as I get my docs back from the HO regardless of the results. Both of us are living with parents. She's working part-time and I'm not working at all. I just don't know where to start with this one .
Sorry about this long writing I just didn't know who to turn to for help. Plz help this no direction individual.
