Re: Post Brexit Discussion

It has never been a problem, breaking down the different constituency of voters. No one has suggested, that all the people who voted leave are uneducated or lovey. However it is a fact that a significant majority are. That is a fact , when you look into facts. Don't be silly. That's not a "fact", t...

Re: Post Brexit Discussion

I earn a significant portion of my living from EU law too, as I'm a barrister who does immigration law. I don't, however, think that everyone should have considered my career before voting! I live in one of the areas with the highest percentage of "remain" voters, but I have family members in Kent w...

Re: Post Brexit Discussion

I have expressed a view. I said most of the people who voted, did so for facial motivated reason. The actions of these people affect the lives of many people in a fundamental manner. This is not a difference as reconcileable as someone voting for labour or conservatives. Yes the view are respected,...

Re: Post Brexit Discussion

On the subject of democracy, this referendum was not democratic. Foreign citizens from commonwealth countries were able to vote and with all certainty they have voted leave, while EU citizens who have been here for donkeys years were not allowed to vote. That's been the electoral law position for a...

Re: Post Brexit Discussion

The EU must compel the UK to invoke Article 50 immediately. You cannot have the likes of Borris and Gove having their cake and eating it. The EU can't compel the UK to invoke Article 50. It is the country wishing to do so which invokes it. I felt sorry for Scots, and 75 % of young people like mysel...

Re: 2nd EU Referendum petition

Strikes me as seriously bizarre. The time to set rules about what turnout there should be, and what percentage of the vote is required, etc, is BEFORE the vote. Not afterwards!

It's nuts. You can't keep having re-runs of the vote until you get the answer you like.

Re: Arrested at wedding despite permission

Start with the notices for detention. What reasons are given?

Is removal imminent? Have removal directions been set, or a "removal window" notified to him?

The permission letter - look at it again.

It usually says the Home Office don't accept by giving permission that the relationship is genuine?

Re: Arrested at wedding despite permission

Of course the facts are very different.

But, nevertheless, while a person might have a lawful ability to marry in the UK that isn't the same an a right to do so.

It's not a hopeless case at all. But it is a difficult one.

She has been going to Gambia for 22 years, and had 2 unsuccessful marriages, and loves Gambian men. Nothing unusual. UKVI are calling many genuine marriages a sham these day. 3 marriages isn't all that common. 3 marriages to men who are not from either the country you started off in, or the country...

...as I commented earlier the the thread, the OP's stated love of the Gambian culture, over it appears her own British cultural background, may well go against her when claiming she would be unable to settle with her husband in Gambia. :| That's not particularly relevant for EEA cases, though.

Re: Did we mess up the Residence Permit because we lied??

Looks to me as if it has been:

"Came to my house before xmas 2014
We have proof of address since feb 2015
in May 15 we got married by double proxy.
Applied for residence card in August.
Got rejected in January."

And there is all the reference to previous Gambian husbands in the RFRL

Re: My success story

Congratulations on getting it sorted out.

Atheists and agnostics, not to mention polytheists, also get PR and ILR, though. So there is no demonstrable immigration advantage to being a god-botherer.

Re: Did we mess up the Residence Permit because we lied??

No, you are wrong. Normal criminal law applies to lying etc, it is leave / removals / deportations which take place under the EEA Regs, *not* criminal law. Various of the offences under the 1971 Act include illegal entry, or facilitating it (which happened in this case) and deception to avoid enforc...

Your own position is also under threat.

Just for starters, all the following offences under the Immigration Act 1971 are worrying...
