Dear all please help. My husband had previously had two 6 months visas to visit the uk from turkey and on his last application the home office suggested he had a 2 year visa. To cut a long story my husband through the date stamped was the date he had to return, not realising it was a multi entry visa and he is now classed as an overstayer.
We applied in jan 03 for right to remain and although we wrote constantly, heard nothing till his refusal in Dec 04, just 5 weeks shy of being married for 2 years. Funny enough being Mr Blunkets local constituents we heard alongside many other constituents on the same day( This was when mr blunket was being investigated!!)
We are now waiting for a hearing, and although we did have a solicitor and were given funding we found out today they will no longer represent us through the funding anyway due to our high loss risk.
My husband has the added worry of the Turkish army threatening him with desertion due to the amount of time this case has taken, and when he returns has to searve a minimum of 15 months.As a 32 year old woman our desire to start a family has been delayed due to this case and surely this must breach our right to a family life??
I cannot leave this country as i am just finishing my teaching degree and need to for fill a Newly Qualified year, and am home owner etc, plus my father wants to retire and pass on his successful business of 15 years to my husband so we can support ourselves.
As we have been married for nearly 2 and a half years, it would be so hard to loose him for so long. Can someone please give us good advice as out solicitors have let us down.
Thanks and sorry for such a long explanation.
