Yes if you leave voluntairly (pay for your own flight) it will be 1 year.Scared&Confused wrote:Would I definitely get only a 1 year ban? I heard that I could get 5. It's really confusing because I remember reading on here that if you got denied a visa before October 2000 (I think it was), that you could have a deportation request on you.
Unfortunately, even though my Dad's British and my son was born here, it doesn't look like I have much to apply for. I could get a working visa but I would need to have an employer interested. Would that carry a ban?
The potential of being rejected depends on whether deception has been used previously.boulevardofbrokendreams wrote:Yes if you leave voluntairly (pay for your own flight) it will be 1 year.Scared&Confused wrote:Would I definitely get only a 1 year ban?

You said you met somebody, if you love eachother you can get married and apply for a spousal visa. If you choose this route, get married in your home country as you can get arressted on your wedding day if you choose to do it here. Also I'm pretty sure that if you apply for a spousal visa, they can't refuse your application just because of the overstay.
You're committing a crime at the moment by being here illegally.Scared&Confused wrote:I've not committed any crime in the UK,
The 10 year ban has been given out to people who have been caught overstaying and deported. If you pay for your own flight out then the maximum ban you'd get is 1 year, IF caught at the airport leaving. I suggest you get a flight out and sort yourself out and risk the 1 year ban instead of a 10 year ban if caught and deported by police etc.Scared&Confused wrote:If I got banned for that long would there be any way to appeal or have it shortened?
I don't know where you're getting the 5 years from. You will NOT be banned for five years. It's one year maximum if you leave and pay for your own ticket. I would just use a credit card and slowly pay back the money.Scared&Confused wrote:Thanks boulevardofbrokendreams, for all your help and support.
It has been really really tough but then I wouldn't have had my son or met my boyfriend. I do wish it could have been in better circumstances though.
It's so tricky and even though I have so many British ties it doesn't seem to matter. I'm really worried about leaving. I'm scared of being banned for 5 years - really don't know what I'd do if that happened. Plus, I have no money, it's going to take ages to build up the cash to be able to buy a ticket. A lot of my time is taken towards every day things as well. It's difficult to juggle everything. I'm not sure what I can do - even the spousal visa seems tricky. I'm not sure if we could get married in my country because my boyfriend has never been out of the country - it's really daunting for him - he hasn't even travelled around the UK.
Third party support sounds promising but can that be someone other than his parents, such as a sibling, or friends, they are much better off I think, as his parents are heading towards retirement, not right away, but still...?
Apologies for all the questions, and I promise to help others when I get through this all, and help people who really want to come to my country as well - with good intentions of course! :)
Her boyfriend's not even willing to go to her country for like a week to get married. I don't know if he'd be up for 6 months in another country. Granted they could go to Ireland where there won't be a language barrier if that's what he's afraid of.Wanderer wrote:There's always the EEA route - marry, relocate to EEA state, exercise a treaty right and return after six months under Surinder Singh ruling - should be no ban under EEA law.
Big step, and to be honest from what u've said ur bf doesn't seem to be the most dynamic but we don't know him as well as u!
Anyway, search for 'Surinder Singh' on this site.
It's probably better if your boyfriend can get a credit card that you can use.Scared&Confused wrote:Apologies for banging on about the 5 year ban! It just scared the hell out of me. I'm scared of it happening while I'm trying to get things in order to go. Plus, it's going to take ages to get the money. I didn't know I could get a credit card here?
I don't live with my boyfriend right now and he does not have any other Citizenship, unfortunately.
EEA? Forgive me do you mean a country that belongs to the European Union? Would it be quite easy for someone like me to live there? It was easier here because I had family (Dad, etc.). I'm not sure how to go about it. Could we get married there?
I'll look into the 'Surinder Singh' on this site.
Thanks again to you both.
You failed to mention that this '14 year rule' may become obsolete with the introduction of new immigration rules in the coming year or two.bototo wrote:You've not given us any time scales. But I thought I'd mention that there is also the 14 year rule. If you've been here for 14 years - legally or illegally - you can get stay. That is subject to some rules. So don't scr*w up again. Learn what those rules are or you could blow your final chance.
Do be careful the sort of irresponsible advice you dish out to "vulnerable" people.Then get an illegal job. Get an illegal job. Get an illegal job. And go underground till your 14 year period is completed. I'm sure some won't like my advice but the UKBA don't give you any bonus points for not working illegally or for doing charity or for having a British father. Focus on what matters for stay via your chosen route. And ignore everything else.
Consider my knowledgeable friend.Scared&Confused wrote:Also, does anyone know of anyone that is really good?
