Oh thank you for this great info!!!! I been trying to find a non-geographical alternative number for them for ages! Skype sounds like a great option!!!!smatts07 wrote:Hi all, just called the UKBA for an update. The guy said it was still not complete and to just keep waiting. I've been waiting 10 months now. For(o) app based on parent of a child in UK.
App received 10 sept 2012
Bio done 20 Feb 2013
And still waiting.
I know its expensive to ring the UKBA but I've found that using Skype credit is much cheaper. I rang first thing this morning and got thru quickly. I was on for about 5 minutes if that and I used less than. A pound of my Skype credit. Hope this can save some of you some money. The only downside is if you haven't got a good connection.... I was on hold for 30 main once and when I finally got thru the woman said she couldn't hear me and hung up. Talk about frustration.

what is the best option to go if you're refused. reconsideration letter, appeal, and re-application? Because I've been refused even though I have British child and British partner. I don't know the reason but I'm going to see my solicitor and I want to make an informed decision. thanks
Sorry, she was born in 1983, not 1982Shondra Sharma wrote:@ale001 she can take photocopy of her brithcertifcate and chase in the borough birth registry office, pay some fees they will give the new one I think try the best, good luck, if she born before 1983, she qualified for british citizen.
I believe if she knows the full details of her parents I.e date of birth country of origin, she can apply for her original birth certificate on she can just apply online using this linkale001 wrote:Hi guys, can you advice on this issue for someone. She is a friend to my friend so i don't actually know her, but my friend asked me to advice on it so i decided to bring it here.
A lady was born in the UK in 1982 and was taken back by her parent to her parent home country.
Since then she never return to the UK.
She has been requesting from her parent her birth cert and other evidence of been born in the UK, but they refused to give her.
Now, she lost her parent both mum and dad
She later search the house and found only photocopies of her birth certs and some hospital documents as evidence that she was born in the UK at lambert.
She then applied for a visa at the British High Commission but i don't know what category visa she applied for maybe visit or leave to remain or right of abode i don't know, but the refused her application as they said she not meet up date to qualify for british.. But the lady was born in UK in 1982 and she now have only photocopy of her Birth certificate and some hospital documents and cards.
The point now is, she recently entered the UK illegally and she now want to live in the UK. How do you think she could legalize herself when she only have photocopy of her birth certs and hospital documents as evidence, but not original because she don't know where her late parents keep the original documents. And now she has found her way into the UK illegally.
Your advice will be appreciated

She can apply for the original copy of his/her birth certificate, she only needs to go to the Council area where she was born, good she has a copy. I also know that those who were born here before January 1, 1983 are automatically british ( though I stand corrected). She was probably refused visa at the High Commision because she has only a copy of the birth cert, and cannot provide other documents to support her claim. She need to make enquiries from relevant authority to ascertain her true position.
Thanks, I have sent back an answerastro123 wrote:Hello Chidy, could you check your inbox I have sent you a private message.Chidy wrote:astro123 wrote:does anybody knows the outcome of anybody's judicial review or reconsideration letter.

I would not advise you to go for reconsideration unless you have new elements to add to the application such as a new born baby or a very ill partner. Or if the HO offer to reconsider their own decision. It is unlikely to the HO to go against their own decision. They have to be forced to do so.
Therefore, go for an appeal if you are allowed or for a judicial review if you don't have the right to appeal. Sometimes the Court would ask them to reconsider their decision, then they have to obey within a time framework.
