Oops !!!

Oh dear, did I call you sheat?

So sorry - must have been a freudian slip.

If the person who is an "Overstayer" is a parent with dependant children then the parent can ask for an Assessment by Children's Services. However parents who have no right to stay in the UK are usually wary to request advice from Children's Services, (come to think of it 99% of parents are wary of...

My friend is here on a 2 yr settlement visa, she is married to a British citizen and they have a son that was born in England. Her husband has been unfaithful to her and has a new girlfriend, he has also kicked her out of their house. He has been paying for a room in a shared house for her but now ...

Hi I am a social worker in London and the young person's situation is not that unuaual for a jamaican national who came to UK as a child and never reguarised his/her status in UK. Many Local Authority's in London have Overstayers team who can assist in situations like this but the client needs to h...

Unusual. A family fleeing violence and the child arrives before the mother. This would certainly raise questions. 1999 is also a long time for a threat to be maintained by a non-state agent. Again much explaining to do. Relocation? Could the family not have moved elsewhere in Jamaica? Getting marri...

So even if i've got a child here with my wife who's now 6, would i still need to go back?? Thanks for all your replies really greatful, as for jei2 comments i was a bit bemused myself as to why all the lawyers would give me different information... puzzling. All the lawyers??? :? I think you'll fin...

Assuming you're both male?

You need FLR(M). You can't apply for settlement - SET(M) - just yet. You can apply from the UK. But as already pointed out if you submit an in-country application you're likely to be refused unless you have some factors under Article 8 that would help your case. But expect to hunker down for 2 or 3 ...

thanks guys for your advice, that means l should seek legal advice before l even attempt claiming asylum, and am elegible for free legal advice, since l dont work l wont be able to afford a good lawyer. You haven't answered any of the questions asked about your relationship. If you're not with the ...

Looks like you'd need to fit into tier 2 and the employer would have to register as a sponsor. They'd have to advertise the job unless it was a shortage occupation (which it isn't - because teaching English is not exactly a shortage occupation in Britain ). Yes but we're not very good at American E...

Hi all, I just got my tenancy agreement sorted out, however the estate agency made a color copy of the last page (with the signatures) saying that its against the law for the agency to give originals . I am not sure if this is correct? I know for certain the ECO wants to see nothing but the origina...

See esp. paras 24 and 48 but the overall agreement is that 3rd party is tantamount to requiring recourse to public funds.

It's therefore no longer acceptable.

Living well on less than £60k??? If you are single maybe, but it you have a wife and a child you will need every penny of £60k For those that are wondering yes it really is what I earn and it's still no enough! Well the DWP would love you!! :lol: "I can't take any job under 60k as it's not enough...

I agree with you that it would be difficult to prove her sole dependent on me in the presence of other son and daughters in the same city. But none of them is living with her so nobody is there to provide her instant help. But they're a whole lot closer. You're in a bit of a catch-22 situation; if ...

If you can answer the questions you will get some ideas.

Why is your partner only applying for asylum now?

Is there some reason why he cannot return with you to his home country to get married and then apply as a spouse from there ?

You may need to discuss it with them to be clear of how your dad got his citizenship. If your father obtained his citizenship through registration or naturalization you'd be a British citizen by descent and should only need to apply for a British passport. It sounds as if your parents may have wante...

Your partner/wife's immigration status is entirely dependent on her relationship with you. Once that is no longer subsisting in the eyes of the Home Office, she loses the right to remain in the UK as your dependant partner; where she lives and how it is paid for will be her own affair. She would ver...

I meant to add that you could have difficulty getting your son over if someone else (particularly another relative) has been looking after him.

But it sounds like you've already been hit by the "sole responsibility" rule.

You might not be able to do it without a custody order.

thanks Vinny I have already looked at that we have been living outside the Uk together but only for 2 years I just thought it was strange that there is nothing on his Visa stating no recourse to public funds and wasn't really sure what the observation indefinite leave to enter meant Hmm..Interestin...

Why is he only applying for asylum now - after 3 years in a relationship with a UK citizen?

Would it be difficult for him to return home and apply as an unmarried partner or fiance? Or for the two of you to get married there and have him apply for a spouse visa?

I second Mr Rusty's advice. You have absolutely no obligation to support this individual. Where's her son's father in all this? Write to the Home Office and break free of this parasite before she affects your own studies and future. God knows it's not getting any easier here. Anyway with all these a...

Hi, I'm a newbie. I would like to enquire if I qualify for the 2 year residency requirement of the Unmarried partner visa for the UK? My partner is a British National working in the UK. We have been together from April 2006. I have been here in the Philippines waiting for the processing of my annul...

Sorry frances2.

my bad. (oh how I've longed for a chance to use that cheesy phrase!)

Thought you were being sarky.
