The same situation happened to me.My employer dismissed me for the same reasons.I applied for PR and it took HO 15 months to refuse my application.My employer terminated my contract 12months after my application, the reason is that in certificate of application it is stated that family members sholu...

Congratulations brother. Enjoy your freedom.

Congrats!!!Enjoy it ,start preparation towards your PR.Dont wait till last minute . Dont forget to keep your P60`s and payslips securely for the next 5 years

Listen my friend you cannot just go to church of England and get marry there you have to be an active member, i mean real member not just for the sake of immigration. We go to church in order to have a personal relationship with God , whatever comes with it is just a bonus. If your intention is to g...

I am posting this as a matter of curiousity.The new fees charging by HO for this service ,is it a mistake or real thing £15000( fifteen thousand pounds )for application. Check the link http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... er-premium

Jay-Khan as the law stands, this guy can either marry in church of England without COA or get COA from HO and marry in registry. He can marry in temple and get all the evidence but I do not think HO will accept that for immigration purposes

Plum70 you have misintepretated the point I am trying to raise.If this guy intends to marry this lady what evidence the authorities need than a baby. The best evidence in any relationship are children. Well I am not aware about the well documented sham marriages between Indians and eastern europeans...

Your best chance is to go back to India and apply from there.As you rightly said you need COA before you can marry here if you are not EU or british national.Do not waste your time chasing lawyers who may even compund your problems.Why did you abort that baby, you missed the opportunity to sort your...

My appeal was scheduled on 14th April,2010 but it has been adjourned to June because HO could not file and serve bundle. My solicitor submitted my bundle yesterday which was the deadline for submission.HO could not serve their part.What is the implication if HO could not do so? Are they shocked abou...

Are you a British? From the first line you said " I was British" which confuses me.If you are British and your wife has student visa, then she has to change to spouse visa to draw the benefits from you.After two years if the law still remains the same ,then your wife can apply for ILR etc.

Overdued for citizenship.Go for it.

Congratulation for winning your appeal.Mine is due on 14th April,2010 and I wish HO representing offfer fails to attend the hearing like yours.Anyway I got the document they were asking for thus valid passport or ID of my wife which I have now. Continue to share your knowledge with the rest of us.Ho...

Thanks for your quick response. I will speak to him and advise him accordingly

I am asking these questions on behalf of a friend who has got his PR on 22nd March,2010. He clicked his sixth year on 09th February,2010 but it look HO 15 months to issue his PR so he clicked the 6th year whiles his PR was under consideration. (1) The first question is can he apply for citizenship s...

look at the sticky section on this forum. here is the link if you want:

Thanks for your contributions.Can HO decide not to appeal at the hearing if they receive the ID, that will be a hugh relief though but I do not think HO will do that but to waste taxpayers money. I have already drafted the covering letter addressed to the caseworker who refused the original applicat...

How long have you been UK? 14 years unlawful residence may be the route for you.Speak to a very good lawyer not those who are interested in money.

Hello Obie.with regards to the sending of the ID to HO do I have to send it to the caseworker who refused my application or is there special address that I have to send it to? My wife will be working on the day of appeal as she just returned from her long break so she cannot accompany me on tha day....

Thanks for your quick response .So does it mean that I can send the ID to HO before the appeal.Thanks Obie and others.I will do that on tuesday.I just got my wife`s ID`s today so I will speak to my solicitor on tuesday.Thanks for your advice

You can provide them with the required documents or appeal though that costs money if you are going to use a solicitor. There is a sample letter under ILR section that you can use if are finding it difficult to draft proper sponsorship letter. Once bitter,twice shy do not keep on having breaking hea...

I posted my situation on this forum that my PR has been refused because my EEA member (spouse) passport attached to the application has expired. I lodged the appeal which is due on 14th April,2010.Initially my spouse refused to renew her passport or give me her national identity card. Fortunately my...

I think you should have switched from work permit to spouse visa after you married your partner. If that decision had been made you will be applying for citizenship now because you would have qualified for ILR last year.At the moment I am not sure if you can apply for ILR since you are still on work...

What is the criteria for banning someone from this forum? I tried to log in this morning and got that message I have been banned from this forum. I have not post any offensive message so I am surprised to receive that message.

Thanks Obie I met my solicitor today and we have decided to go to court.If all of us are going to be afraid of HO then they will continue to make such awful decisions and get away with it. UK is not a banana state the rule of law exist so let the independent judge decides this case.I met all the req...
