There seems something inherently wrong with our system in cases like this. Just throwing this out there but could she come here on a family visit (no visa required for that for 6 months from Mauritius) and then apply to remain with family living in the UK? Unwise. She would be refused a visa to rem...

As a separate issue :D My wife has a daughter from a previous relationship still living in Mauritius (its a complicated story so I won't go into full detail here), she has just turned 18 and my wife would like her to be able to come and live with us. She's not looking to come as a student, and want...

Well, rather ironically, the message immediately before mine demonstrates why visitors' visas to visit British Citizen families are so suspiciously regarded!

How pregnant is she? You can give notice to marry in a civil ceremony, and then after marriage apply for an EEA residence card for her as your wife. Once you are married, she doesn't need to pay medical costs etc so long as you are working ("Exercising treaty rights") and are in a genuine relationsh...

What visa are you trying to get for your new husband?

You are on a spouse visa yourself, is that right? You can't get a spouse visa dependent upon a spouse visa!

Visa was rejected early Jan of this year. We appealed within a few days ensuring all missing docs enclosed in a nice and easy to follow bundle with explanation and aplogy re the fools we paid a lot of money to mess up my application for spouse visa. We phone the uk centres, New dehli for time-scale...

The public interest requirements under s.117B don't outweigh everything. They are applied to all cases which aren't either (a) Article 8* inside the Immigration Rules or (b) fall into other specific immigration provisions. They aren't trump cards, they are matters which are taken to be in the balanc...

Domicile is a very, very long-term thing and immensely complicated. My domicile (for example) is dead simple - I was born in the UK, and apart fro 9 months as a gap year in Poland, I've always lived in the UK. So my domicile is my domicile of origin. Your initial message implied you were born in Pak...

You told them you were domiciled in Kuwait?

I doubt that, but I'm not an expert on domicile.

Thanks for the clarification. What I am concerning at the moment is the implication of 117B on my case. -I speak fluent english, I was never a burden of british tax payer, i've integrated into society in many ways. -the only hurdle in front of me is the immigration control which I overstayed (unbek...

That's a pre-2012 application, decided on the old Rules

"Public interest" is in economics elf- sufficiency of migrants, people speaking English and integrating into the community, and immigration control. That's what the statute says.

It's possible to argue that in particular circumstances obtaining a passport isn't re-availing yourself.

It's extremely unwise to risk it.

It's a Consent Order to say they want to have another look at the facts of the case.

I've not commented before as I did not understand your initial time line, it wasn't clear.

Does your brother have mental capacity to make decisions for himself? Does he have travel insurance which covers the UK?

If your application has been refused with no right of appeal you don't carry on accumulating lawful leave. You won't get to 10 years.

There's quite a lot of confusion in your post. Firstly, judicial review doesn't stop any removal action or anything in itself. The Home Office can remove you legally while your have a judicial review waiting, nothing to stop them. So you not knowing that the JR has been refused on the papers doesn't...

How long have you been in the UK? How many years (roughly)?

I don't see how applying for a new passport would invalidate her application. As long as she is who says she is, and that is the same person is on the passport that is with the Home Office, I don't think it will affect her current pending application at all. I think the bigger issue will be whether...

Members can only send and receive PMs after they have made 30 posts. Jellyband has only made 14. Thanks for enlightening me! I was wondering why some of my messages sit in the outbox folder for ages. Dear Moderator, What are your thoughts on this 'naturalisation-TOEIC-interview' business? How does ...

Yes, certification stops you accumulating 3C leave

You need specific advice on your own circumstances. However, this refusal with no in-country right of appeal stops 3C leave. If you do nothing, you won't carry on accumulating it for ILR. thanks for advise . I have been advised by solicitor that they can challange this decision. Also they have an o...

Do you mean, you are the only son and you have a medical qualification? Or that you are the only one of her children who is a doctor?

Do you have siblings? Where do they live?

Has your ILR been revoked as well?
