Quite possibly. Look at it this way. If the asylum application is refused theoretically he could go back to his country and then apply for a spouse visa. There is probably no reason to refuse any such application. Accordingly it could well be that the spouse visa application will be granted in the UK given the current state of affairs in Iraq.is the fact that my husband has submitted a marriage application likely to be the reason for the delay in reaching his decision's or is it likely to just be coincidental?
-: and then at 2.28.pm you asked :-we have since married and have an application for leave to remain of the basis of marriage
Just a terminology problem. When you asked "for leave to remain on the basis of marriage" you where applying for a spouse visa, that is, two years leave to remain on the basis of marriage to you. During the last month of that two year period there would need to be an application for ILR.how would we go about applying for a spouse visa from the UK?
As per my replies to your original post both applications fall outside the rules hence stated processing timelines do not apply.Jannahjewel wrote:Hi all, you may recall I posted a few months ago with regard to some advice relating to my husband's asylum application. A quick re-cap; my husband is from Kurdistan, Iraq, and claimed political asylum, we have since married and have an application for leave to remain of the basis of marriage. It has been a year since he arrived in the UK and still no decision on both applications.
If you are being represented then ideally the solicitors. However given your sentiments it is wise to send such directly using a reliable/ trackable method of delivery. IMHO the inclusion of said documents to your file adds an additional element to the HRA aspects of the application. However it continues to be that the relevant Article for the HRA can be derogated from for the effective regulation/ controls of the UK immigration system i.e. IMHO it doesn't make a significant change no matter how crucial it seems to you...I'm going on substantive case law.Jannahjewel wrote:However, I have now given birth to a healthly baby boy and was wondering what the procedure is in terms of notifying the home office of this fact. Does this need to be done through solicitors (I'm unhappy with their service but all the other local immigration solicitors are not taking on new cases) or is there a special form? or should I just write a letter to them? Would the birth certificate be required, and would photographs of baby and proud dad together add weigh to our case?
See my reply above i.e. IMHO it doesn't make a difference..if anything it raises concerns about your finances that the HO will use accordingly. Out of interest did you explore the Jordanian option? Note that Kurdish enclave of Iraq is classed as a safe haven with the option of internal flight.Jannahjewel wrote:I've now started a masters degree which may employers are paying for, and if I leave within the next fours years, I will be expected to pay back £3500 which is the cost of the course. In addition, my husband will be the sole carer for our child when I go back to work, and we couldn't possibly afford £500 per month nursery fees. (I can only claim approx £10 per week tax credit on my income of £22,000p/a) Would it be useful for the Home Office to be aware of these facts (In case they refuse the application and try and say we should both go and live in Iraq) or would these circumstances not make the slightest difference?
Writing to the Immigration Minister is not worthwhile - he/she is there to ensure that the integrity of the UK immigration system is maintained...personal emotions aside how do you view an approval in your case ties to such? In any case the application must first be reviewed by caseworkers/ officials designated in that capacity.Jannahjewel wrote:I know they can be unsympathetic (to understate!) Would a letter to Des Browne be totally disregarded also or is it worth a shot on compassionate grounds? Although I am aware there a millions of similar cases, but when it is *you* involved directly - it's awful
Possibly but without knowing all the facts of both his case and all the others concerned this is at best speculation.Jannahjewel wrote:If anyone could offer any advice, it would be helpful. Also, all my husband's friends who entered the UK at around the same time have all been refused asylum and had appeals refused too - is the fact that my husband has submitted a marriage application likely to be the reason for the delay in reaching his decision's or is it likely to just be coincidental?
Just to add a few comments to your query.jannahjewel wrote: Would a letter to Des Browne be totally disregarded also or is it worth a shot on compassionate grounds?
My view .... the links you provide clearly show a strong case. OK, it might take a while but assuming the situation in Iraq does not change, hopefully it is just a question of time before your husband gets his two-year spouse visa.What do you think?
