I know, with the benefit of hindsight that's just what we would have done, but at the time we simply weren't aware of this law, it's such a minefield Now that you are in the system Gareth, you are now aware of the hoops that any non-EU spouses have to jump through to get here legitamately, and the ...
I've just read the reason given for rejection and it is this ruling: Immigration Law 281 (v): (v) the parties will be able to maintain themselves and any dependants adequately without recourse to public funds; I've also seen the visa application guidance which states this: Where the debt relates to...
I have appealed now yes, we faxed an appeal off the day after we received the decision in Peru What would you suggest would be the best thing for me to do at this stage?? Thats great. You will have to wait for a appeal hearing date. Can take a little while sometimes, but dont worry. In the meantime...
Be patient Gareth. The system can make you very cynical at times, and you might feel as there is no hope! But fear not! Be prepared to take the odd knock-back, in order to forge ahead!! Are you now saying that the NHS debt has been fully paid off? If so, have you considered appealing? (Has to be wit...
£1200 doesnt seem like an amount over which you should be estranged from your wife & child - I would look at the debt issue 1st & foremost & seek ways of remedying this, so that it cant be used against you again Was this the only point that the application was rejected on, or were there any other is...
Ive been asked to look into this for an Asylum seeker They have been given permission to activate a phone line in the house for internet, but they need to set up a direct debit. No one else can do it on their behalf as the addresss obviously wont match up to anyone elses bank account details! Any wa...

Just a follow up question, slightly unrelated... If an Asylum Seeker after exhausted his/her appeals, if served notice to leave the country.. 1) What happens if he/she is not able to afford the cost of air tickets? 2) If the UK authorities pay for it, do they in turn reclaim them from the applicants...
Anyone claiming asylum should seek advice from a competent solicitor or immigration advisor before doing so. You should encourage them to seek legal advice. If asked why they didn't claim earlier they need to be honest. Delay in claiming can cause ukba to doubt the credibility of the claim whatever...
Sorry folks, I cant for the life of me find a section where I should be posting this (if indeed one exists at all) - feel free to move etc Just a quick question. A contact of mine has received a date to go to Croydon Asylum Screening Unit, where he & his family will be interviewed (1st time) as part...
Hi, not an area I know much about but a friend of a friend who arrived in the UK from Pakistan in Nov 2010 with his wife (on an initial 1 year student visa) has been told that when she comes to look to extending the visa (by a further 18 months) her husband will no longer be entitled to work (due to...
Me again :) Hopefully they will have sorted out some healthcare insurance soon. Next step: What is the process involved in making use of the services of a GP once in the UK? Do you just ring up & make an appointment with ANY GP? Do you have to register? Do you have to pay & claim back fees upon your...
OK, so theoretically, he could arrive for 2 weeks & then go back. Then come back 2 months later for another 2 weeks? And then go back, and come back for another 2 weeks - aslong as its within the 6 months?
Can someone explain what the following means? Type of Visa: C Number of Entries: MULT Duration of stay: 180 days Received by a relative that we sponsored who is Pakistan - went through successfully (1st time!) We had applied for a straightforward family visit visa for a short stay, but dont understa...
This is where the confusion sets in - they refer to 'discretion' - which I read into if a child was ill, late at night - then they could be seen by A&E or an out of hours type of service?
