@Keisha Thank you for your support. You know it's a very long story. After my refusal my previous solicitor wouldn't allowed me to go for the JR. Because of his own interest. I have to keep on searching what to do next. By the time I realise 4 months has passed by. I have to look for another solicitor and he told the JR should have been done within 3 months of the refusal. But we can still give it a try and all depends on the judge. Thus 50 / 50 chance.
Some solicitors are not helpful at all. All they need is your money. Will give you more updates later on.

@Al Haqq
Thank you for your support. I am still praying for them to withdraw their decision even before the date of your appeal. I will always remember the people of this forum in my prayers.
During the reconsideration of your application , did they request any additional documents from you?

If i was you i wouldn't worry too much about UKIP i would be more worried about the immigration bill which is now law

@East...I read about that few weeks back and I'm not worried about their immigration law,as God's law is above every law.I trust in God that that He will surpass every law!

@ikeron
No, they did not request anything. They just requested 3 months and did it within that time. I hope this information helps.

That is so "touchy" thanks for that I can not express how happy that makes me feel. Once again thanks and God bless.

Hello all,
I would appreciate some information / guidance about an issue. My appeal date is next week;
1. I will like to know if my daughter (17 years old?) and my son (14 years) would be required to talk/qeustioned in the court on the day of appeal.
2. I will also like to know how to prepare (apart from going there with the evidences I sent to the court and HO)
3. I will like to know if there are websites to visit for such informations.
Thank you in advance for your help.
NOTE: I am representing myself. I am still looking around to see if I can get a pro bono wo will explain these questions.

Once again thanks in advance.

Good morning

@Al Haqq, please kindly clarify the nature of your appeal on what basis is it for i.e application for permission for JR or appealing against a JR ruling? thanks

Al Haqq · Post by **Al Haqq** » Wed May 28, 2014 1:48 pm

@ Believe2013,
apologies, it is a first tribunal appeal, appealing against the decision of the HO.
One of the condition of me accepting to withdraw my JR was that if they make a negative decision then I would be granted a right to appeal the decision. It is not a JR. Thanks

hi,.

do i need to submit my british Passport with the application, my pay slips and proff of living to-geather for 3 years like all our bills, english language requirement test..

Evening to you all.

Congratulations to everyone who got their visas.

Wanted to ask for your opinions guys.
By the end of July my son's class is going on a trip abroad. When we sent my applications at the ho we included the letter from the school showing the dates of this trip. It will be the first trip abroad for my 10 yr old and don't want him to feel left out because of me(mum).
Do you think asking for his British passport back will affect my application? We also want to ask for my husband's passport too. I'm just a mess at the moment because don't know what to do and also scared that the ho will find this as one more reason to refuse me. Please advise me if u can . X

@Linda
You are in order to request back both BP, I remember a guidance was released some in the recent past , that the BP of those supporting applications should be returned and not held on to. I will see if I can find the link.

Good morning all!

Oh Al haqq thanks for clarifying. I am not familiar with the procedures other than JR ones but i suppose the concept is the same. Did your children provide written statements as part of the evidence for your trial bundle? If so, i don't see any reason why they can't testify in front of a judge. Its not unprecedented for kids to provide answers in court when called upon to do so! If you are comfortable with the idea then it could strengthen your proceeding! All the best!

Case History

Me and my daughter are British. My husband is a Pakistani. We had been living in Pakistan until 2 February 2014. My husband is on a visit visa till August. We came to the UK because our daughter has a rare genetic condition; the treatment is very limited in Pakistan. Without the treatment she would die.She has to take medicine thrice in a day for her whole life also need some surgeries .She has been treated under NHS special Dr Team. We moved to the UK only because of our daughter. We qualify for the 'unreasonable for the child to leave UK'. We have applied under FLR FP-Ex1 through a well known solicitor with a good repute. Our weaker side is source of income. My husband cannot work because he is on a visit visa and I cannot work because I have to take care of our daughter. Though we have a saving of about £5000. And a land in Pakistan worth £60,000. My husband is a software engineer and I am doctor though currently do not qualify for practise in the UK. Here in the UK we have rented a house to show that we intend to settle permanently. With our application we have attached an appeal letter describing our situation, utility bills, council tax bill, tenancy agreement, our daughter's nursery registration, and NHS medical record.Also a Dr letter from pakistan stated that treatment is very limited in Pakistan . Can anybody please tell me the chances of winning in a first go without an appeal? How much time would it take approx.People with similar cases or anybody who has known of a similar case, please reply. We are in a very difficult situation.
@Believe and Kiesha ,thanks for replying.
Actually my husband just came here for our daughter's surgery but after meeting NHS dr we decided it is very dangerous to go back for our daughters life. HO should consider our application under article 8. We have not another way.She is just 18 month old. we cannot let our daughter to die. she needs medicine after every 8 hours .i cannot handle it alone. we have only 4000 pound left.
we dont know what to do:(

Application Sent FLR (fp) - 18/05/2014
Acknowledgement from UKBA - 19/05/2014
Fee deduct - 20/05/2014
Biometric Letter and Human Right Considration - 23/05/2014
Biometric given -
Home Office requested additional documents -
Documents sent -

Please let us know how much time UKBA normally takes in such type of application . UKBA letter states
Thank you for your application for permission to stay in UK. Your application raises issue relation ECHR (human rights) .which are complex in nature .As such it falls outside our normal service standard for leave to remain.Please be assured we will try to make decision as quickly as possible.
