help with british citizen and asylum

Post by kelsey1018 » Fri Jun 10, 2016 8:45 am

Hi all,

I am a British citizen and have been born and bred in the UK my entire life. My parents originate from Libya and live over there now. I married my husband 2 years ago in Libya and he has now came to the UK with me and applied for a asylum. His asylum was refused last year after giving birth to our first baby and now we have gone to court. It has been 3 weeks since our court appeal and we re waiting for the judges decision. How long does it usually take and what should i expect based on previous cases as I am very nervous.

Thanks in advance.

Why was his asylum refused?

His asylum was refused as the home office didn't take into account some evidence and believed that he was not in danger in Libya, they also said he doe not have a british child which was true at the time because they sent the refusal on the day I gave birth :|

The British embassy is closed in Libya and it is not safe for him to go back.

FLR(FP) may be possible now that you have a child together.

Your lawyer needs to appeal to the (upper tribunal if it hasn't already been done) and you need to make sure that you work at-least part time and your husband wont be claiming benefits. If you are claiming already then there will be a problem unfortunately..

I hope allah makes it happen for you insha allah.

I do not claim any benefits, I am a student and I have been offered a job soon so might start to work in a few weeks. How long does the upper tribunal take?
I feel like my future has been ruined

British Child and Wife

Post by kelsey1018 » Mon Jun 20, 2016 12:30 pm

Hi all,

I have posted here before about my husband having his asylum case dismissed by the first tier tribunal. Our solicitor believes that they best thing to do is to go through the further submissions route and prove to the home office that we are married and that we have a british child. Does anyone know if this route is successful or is appealing to the upper tribunal better? please advise me on this matter.

Many thanks
