Obie, Yes, I know and sympathize. Even with knowledge of the appeal laws I just commented in another thread on the prospect of an appeal for a general visit visa. I completely disregarded what I already know. Luckily anther member was able to spot this and correct it. Friends, that is the best part...

Well i believe the OP's case will be dealt with according to the law that exist on the day of his application. As the rules have changed and the SOS no longer grants 3 years DLR, i suspect he will only be able to obtain 30months when he lodges a new application. I know the HSPM Judicial review peop...

I believe you would be granted a further leave of 30 months this time. Once you have accured 120 months of DLR, you should be able to secure ILR. Thanks Obie. I just read this quote on a Manchester Law firm website raising the awareness on the new changes to the immigration rules and it frightened ...

I won the previous article 8 based on Private Life not married life as I was no longer married then. The circumstances in which I won my article 8 still applies today That is very good news actually, as it increases your chances considerably. Finally a smile on my face:-). Thank you for the advise....

Oh dear!! So what are my options then? Any case laws? I can't simply pack my bag and leave. I have a life here. I know I am asking for the impossible but you guys have proven to be invaluable to a lot of people. What would you do in my situation? Please. As Lucapooka said, the best way is to reques...

Should I apply for PR and then hope that they would use their discretion to extend my stay for another 3 years? OR - Simply plead for a 3 year extension in the first instant? As far as I see it, there is absolutely no point in applying for PR. Last time you tried, you borderline qualified and faile...

Thanks for your response. So does that mean that I cannot apply for PR Indeed. The permanent residency route is for EEA citizens as well as spouses of EEA citizens. You are not an EEA citizen and got divorced 3 years ago, so have no exploitable links to the EEA. Therefore, you cannot use the EU imm...

Thanks for your response. So does that mean that I cannot apply for PR when my DL expires in 5 months time? Can I not simply apply for PR? Instead of applying for another DL? Your insight is much appreciated.

jimkam, when did you actually start living in the UK after you got married? Were you living here with your wife since 2003? What is her nationality? Has she worked at all since then, and if so what was the problem with proving it? Do you have contact details for her? Do you know if she was working ...

I am a non-EEA citizen, married a EEA citizen in 2003, got 5 years residence. Marriage lasted at least 3 years. Officially divorced in 2009. I applied for PR one month before my 5 years residence permit expired. Application for PR was refused because I was not able to prove that my EEA ex-wife had b...

No disrespect, but pay no heed to the other comments! Simply withdraw the appeal and lodge a fresh EEA2 application. Hi Plum70, That's exactly my point. I advised him to withdraw the appeal and make a fresh EEA2 application but i notice you're asking him to disregard the other comments. I know some...

Thank you Jim, the marriage can be a good idea, I will look further to see if it is posible, in adition, my parter was baptised at the Anglican church. Thanks a lot for your advice. Hey, That's even better. For me thats the only option you have due to the time constraints. You need to start the bal...

Jimkam how can you make fresh application when you have an appeal pending? I think you have to withdraw the appeal before fresh application is made.Can you do both at the same time,i mean fresh application and appeal ? Hi troubled, It's simple. The appeal is bound to be dismissed. For expediency sa...

Thanks, so what should we do? The appeal tribubal takes place in June. Should we send in an application for an EEA 2 and cancel the tribunal? Hi there, Your wife does not qualify for PR yet as you two have not resided in the UK for 5 years under the immigration rules. Make a fresh application using...
