wrong visa

[shafina]

hi i wonder if somebody can help me. I sent my husbands back to ukba last week doe to a wrong error on his visa. he was given indefionte leave to enter when he arrived from morocca. I was told to contact ukba to have the error rectified. I recieved a letter from ukba yesterday. the laetter states that the visa cannot be rectified as it was issud in error. they have now changed the visa to residence permit. indefinite settlement. and no time limit on holders stay in uk.. i contacted ukba to ask if my husband needs to do life in uk test and if he is allowed to claim public funds. a gentlen called steven said the investigation department will call me next week as croyden have issued wrong visa. and we will have to return his passport for it to be changed, can anybody advise if the can take his residence permit away from him and if he needs to do kol test and if he can claim public funds. thankyou.

It would help if you stuck to the same thread

Croydon have essentially told you exactly what we said they would. The UKBA have no power to change your husband's visa to limited leave after granting indefinite leave in error. Your husband has indefinite leave and therefore there are no restrictions on him claiming benefits. As previously advised, seek advice from a competent immigration solicitor/advisor.
