@east579new,
Thanks for your contribution, I stand to be corrected, there are eligibility and suitability requirements, one needs to pass otherwise one fails for refusal. But if flro is considered outside the immigration laws, then I stand a chance. Pardon me, I don't know how to do the link stuff, but if you search "suitability" on UKBA website, it is written there. That is why am confused. Of course I would not put in the bill but they do their checks and can find out themselves . Pls let me know what you think after going through it. Much thanks.[/quote]
On Eligibility and Suitability
There are suitability and eligibility requirements for FLR(O) application, in fact for all application. Go to the UKBA website, click policy and laws. There, they have guidance and policy for all application. It is length document, but you can read some of the information here
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... am-mig.pdf And here: -
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/polic ... rules/part 9
For article 8 private and family life the threshold is little bit lower and there is large degree for discretion compared to other application like ILR or British Citizenship.
Eligibility is simple:- Fill correct form, pay correct amount, etc,
Suitability: - one must not have long unspent prison sentence on his name, not be threat to national security, not involved in terrorism home or abroad, one must attended an interview, provide information, signing on when required to do so, not provide false information or documents etc.
Other factors like working while illegal, studying while not allowed, NHS debt , using false name, short term prison sentence all these can be overlooked when the caseworker apply proportionality and fairness test and look at balance of probability if infact it is in the public interest to denied the person a visa. But it is better to be on the safe side and avoid anything negative as rules are tightening every day. So i think lowering your debt below £1000 if you can afford make sense.
If one has debt to NHS, bank or other organisation as long as one hasn’t been asked specifically in the form or by letter to do so no need to mention it. On the application form it is your opportunity to put your best foot forward. So one should concentrate on character, conduct, association, education, strength of connection with UK, time spent in UK, Ties (socially, culturally and family), in fact anything positive which might help the case.
When asked about other things which might be seems negative one should come clean, because they (UKBA) might already know the truth or are very likely to find the truth soon or later. Providing false information or refusing to comply is just digging bigger hole and save no purpose imvho.[/quote]
Thankyou Honourable forum Membrs for all your honest contributions, I apprecite. apologies for responding late, trying to get relevant documents for my appeal and application. Went to se my GP for a confirmtion letter that i do bring my son to the surgery for immunisations and check. He refused saying that they do not get involved in cases like this. I was disappointed, will keep trying. I already have confirmation of his gp registeration, but that is not enough as homeoffice do not believe that my son lives with me, incredible. The boy is just 13 months old and do not have much correspondence.crazy.
For the flro application, will try and bring down the bill (safer grounds) while waiting for the appeal. That is my only negative point and overstaying.
@Goodness&Mercy, thanks, will definitely get in touch for more assistance.
@Seneca thanks a lot for the link and your advice.
@nilemarques, thanks got the case on 433
@evie233, go for it babe( free application) just include the evidence that you are being supported by the Social Service.
@adetaq welldone mate and congratulations. I am happy for you. Enjoy.[/quote]
@ Ada4msd, your welcome. I don't understand why your GP refused to help you. Instead, contact the practice manager and request your child's medical records. You are entitled to them. Some practises may make you pay. Just inform the practice manager that you are putting in an application with the HO and your child's medical record is required. It may take a couple of days but if you pester them, they may do it quickly!!
God Bless!
