Also, if you're dealing with UK immigration, patience is the only word...maybe 15 years is not the patience enough...

Hi Odat Hope you well. Been off forum as trying to distract myself out of this thing & concentrating on my work. My solicitor has confirmed that I should be able to apply now, but not sure if I could instruct her as my limited fund for this ridiculously expensive application. How's urs? I saw in so...

Was there a direction when your appeal was allowed under Article 8, that the Home Office should give effect to it immediately? Thanks for ur msg, Obie! I didn't think it was said something like that in the judgement, otherwise our life would be much easier! And I don't really think the judge would ...

@ africangirl....yes the application asks if you have been back to your home country and reasons why....I told them i had gone back twice. I think its ok @ArtMag, congrats! @africangirl: yes, a bit confusing but this is down to each individual's grant basis. UKVI has published a doc regarding "trav...

Hi there, Just wanna add from the Deewani's post... 1. 6 years qualifying periods: Yes, if the DLR was granted before 9 July 2012 in the formula 3 years + 3 years...they seems to include the time while we're waiting for the decision of the extension period if we applied before the original grant ex...

I am sorry for the delay in replying to your email. You have not stated why you were granted DLR, if it was because a non-asylu...

So if there is any issue later on, then you can make a complaint and refer bac...

Basically, HO suggested we should use HP/DL form = free, because of initial "asylum" claim, but disadvantage is the "wait"...f...
