Our current end to end process was around 3-6 months with simialar cases.

If no removal orders (IS151A/D) were made, you could have your ILR granted, provied you meet all therequirements of the Rules. If you were served (even on file, without your knowledge, say, when the Home Office sent you a letter and you did not recieve it), your "immigration" clock was stopped and y...

In most cases - yes.

ILR is a UK grant of status and refers to the UK only.

Under the EU law/Regulations 2006 you can remain in the UK if you can prove that: - you have been married in excess of 3 years - BOTH of you were economically active for at least 12 months in the UK - you are divorced when you lodge your application to remain on the above grounds to the Home Office ...

It was down in the morning today but later went on-line. Make sure that you register when you do need, as the system will not allow you to change the appointment (at list in its early days). I was amazed that it showed virtually all days and time slots as available, bearing in mind that yesterday th...

Our curret waiting time is 1 for EEA1 and 2 months for EEA2. This has changed only relatively recently.

Applications lodged early in 2009 were considered within 6 months. After 1 June 2009 - in about 2 months.

2008 was a nightmare indeed - 12 -14 months.

It was possible a few years ago. Now she is more likely to be issued with a UK Spouse Visa, although I have seen some Embassies still issuing Indefinite Leave to Enter. The reasons she is quite likely to be issued with a 2.3 years UK Spouse Visa is that...there are no Life in the UK Test fascilities...

If the Home Office was notified about your premature end of employment and it was now more then 28 days, you will not be able to switch into a UK spouse visa. So it is likley that you will have to return to your home country and apply for entry clearance. Certainly much more expensive than switching...

We have been applying on behalf of the client on weekly basis via a local PEO on the basis of HSMP JR. One case could not be considered as the file was "locked". It was not a refusal, the caseworker just could not process the appliation as the client's file was "opened" elsewhere within the Home Off...

In your best interest you should apply for a spouse visa back home. A visa is now issued for 2 years and 3 months. Just a marriage and a chidl is not sufficient. You and your sponsor must meet the requirements under para 281 HC395, briefly, he must be able to maintain and acocmmodate you and the chi...

Home Office has even cut our (lawyers, representative same day service) appointments with them for their same day service without appointments in half. Normally we would be able to bring the client's applications on Tuesday and Friday, now only on Fridays. They seem very busy. At the same time I am ...

In other words, you were refused under para 320 ? In simple language, you failed = used deception to inform the immigration authorities that you were previously in the UK under a different name ? Your fingerprints matched a different identity. I had similar cases in the past and advised my clients t...

Our average time is 3 weeks. I have noted that if it takes more then 2 months, the Home Office is probably deeply investigating the case and may be even contacting overseas posts. I have seen 2 of these cases when people applied and did not declare certain things, and were refused for employing dece...

My experience was that a straightforward application should succeed.

I have had a few applications which could not be processed on the date of application but were granted within 3 months from postal submisison.

Hello, Based on my rgular face-to-face work with caseworkers at one of the Home Office PEOs (same day appointments), if someone is on an HSMP/Tier1 visa AND he/she has P60s for 4(5) years or tax returns, that will not be a problem. Hopefully you are NOT staying unempoyed for more then 6 months, corr...

I have seen a few of those, too.

One poor soul put a tick in th wrong place ! Immidiate refusal under para 320 - DECEPTION = 10 year ban !

That what they relied upon. At the samne time that was the main reasons for refusal as well as the BHC clearly written that there were posters in teh Visa Application Centres that anyone who overstayed would be banned for a fixed period. It is not just the matter whether the BHC knew. They went much...

I have now come accross a number of Entry Clearances refusals (Settlement applications, lodged in MARCH 2008, following previos overstay, no removal or criminal issues etc) where the High Commusison would rely upon the mandatory refusal rules under para 320 (7). That means that the BHCs disregard th...

You can ask for a reconsideration but it is just a fiction.

You have been given the right of appeal under s82(1) NIAA 2002.

Use it.

Once we delt with such a case.

Unfortunatley, lost at the AIT and further at the High Court...

The applicant’s employment record will often be a significant consideration. The main purpose of the two Long Residence rules is to enable people who have been working here, or otherwise contributing to the economy, to regularise their position. Therefore, caseworkers need to consider what the pe...

Hello,

Please clarify whether it was a merge of the old company by a new company or you were posted to a different brach with different job ?

Hello, As a lady she has a bit nore chances of success with that, although there must be QUITE some evidence to prove that her life is in real danger if she returns. I wold say that her chances of success are slim, unless she gets legal aid=public funded lawyer and it goes on and on and on...AIT...H...

Hello, A bit unusual but one can expect that from the Home Office. Just follow the recommendation of the officer. It looks like there is a records that your visa expired and that you were due to leave the counrty (which you did). As WP and marraige are QUITE different categories the IO could suspect...

What prevents her to return and join you under the rules as your dependant ?

You could wait x years.

The situation does not look good to me.
