Ah well. Hard ears you won't learn...

The draft bill was published around July 2008 so it could probably come to fruition in January 2009.

But the article doesn't say anything about removing ILR - only about barriers to and longer waits for citizenship.

Mind you with this Immigration Minister, each new dawn...

Is it true that overstayers who are family members of ILR holders are exempt from the 10,5,1 year ban?If yes then i should be ok then,my main issue is to convince the HO that i am dependent on her,true? regards Once upon a time in a land far far away...

Yep! Missed a few. Sent you one back.

For a small fee, some card providers will issue an itemised statement of all calls made on the card.

Check yours to see if they offer this service.

I'm not sure what you're waiting for. If you left before 1 October 2008, you can apply to come back straight away. Looking at your previous threads, there are others who have overstayed and worked illegally for longer and are now back in the UK on various visas. But have you got a job offer from a l...

Perhaps so. But not in outcome, which is that you are married.

Not everyone here is looking to criticise; the OP needs to clarify her background and circumstances if she wants help.

I agree with Siggi. How can anyone help when the OP changes the story completely within a couple of posts?? "We intend to get married...but don't think we stand a chance" or words to that effect....and then "we married 7 months ago in a Church of England". I agree with you Casa (although not necess...

Yes.

And with the ever worsening recession, I'd think the race would be on to accelerate the removal rate, an amnesty is even more unlikely in this climate. I couldn't agree more (although God knows how it's going to be done if the general workforce is being laid off left right and centre). All Boris ha...

Well, there is no refusal on my passport. Your passport? Have you ever seen a SAR file? The refusal will be on record. Finally, What if i dont fill in the ''Reference No'' of previous application? Well if you like lots of tears and "if onlys"... You're in a good position. Don't blow it by doing som...

The fact that you were granted a student visa after a refusal indicates that you've proven your integrity in immigration matters. If you're specifically asked now about previous refusals you should declare them as advised above, no matter how far back they go and even if the refusal was followed by ...

The big bang of PBS comes into being on 27th November. For those with work permits and a dozen other ways of working in the UK the following link may be of interest: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/workingintheuk/aboutthechanges/ Big bang eh? What a telling phrase... D'you know what I reckon FM? ...

Hmmm. I was just opening my mouth to say rubbish, but that visitor visa just clicked. You could in theory apply for FLR(M) but visitors only get 6 months and aren't allowed to extend within the UK unless in very exceptional cases eg the carer concession. If your fiancee is still within the rules, it...

This sounds very sneaky and silly. And I suspect not uncommon practice now. I'd request a review from the Entry Clearance Manager (and appeal). The ECO is supposed to set a high standard of proof on any suspicion that there was intent to make false representation. That wouldn't be possible in this c...

The above information is inaccurate - sorry. Section 84 of Immigration & Asylum Act 1999 refers as does the Para 48 of Asylum and Immigration Tribunal (Procedure) Rules 2005 in all but bail hearings the representative must meet the section 84 requirement. All reps are asked to sign a form on the da...

My friend is sponsoring his parents for a visit visa. He is due to attend appeal hearing next month. He can't afford to instruct a lawyer so I was thinking of representing at the appeal. Is this possible ? or does a representative have to be a qualified person ? Obviously I would be helping him out...

My sponsor will provide me his bank statement and the sponsorhip letter I need for a student visa. The thing is, his bank statement is addressed to him & his wife, should I add her info (name, passport nº) in the letter as well? Somebody advised me that he should add that his wife agrees w/my spon...

Well alrighty then..!!

Christ I really can't send PMs.

Plus you just sounded exactly like my other half. Now that is scary as sh** and hilarious too !

I was referring to a previous discussion with another learned member...but don't strain your memory cells.

Save your energy for the joys of PBS..

Ok this is er... anyone here. Let's rewind. You're both already in the UK. COA issued. Wedding booked. Forget Worldbridge, you don't need them. Lucky you. Once you're married your new bride can apply for further leave to remain, using form FLRM, paying the Home Office their blood money of £395.00. ...

Where have you been? I think there's a glitch in my pm's.

Come on FM, surely you know that some types of status are permanent and can never be changed once granted ?
