Your family need to apply for a replacement vignette, which is a pain but is the correct thing to do. If your family use the BRP the IO may figure out what has happened. That could lead to problems for you and your solicitor. Solicitors are required to see the endorsed 30 day vignette before handing...
If UKVI pick up on this it is likely to become a problem. You can't blame the landlord because you who told him that you were Spanish, and hence you were permitted on the electoral register. As a Chilean national you were not eligible and it is virtually impossible to prove that you didn't then go o...
Good choice khurram2015. A few low level FPNs won't prevent you meeting the good character test (3.8.c of the guidance) but trying to conceal them almost certainly would. Honesty is the best policy as UKVI takes a sensible approach to this. They don't expect applicants to be saints, while the seriou...
If you did community service in the UK because you were a drunk driver then the case was not withdrawn. A community order is made after a guilty plea or a conviction, and it will show up. Admit to it on the form. The offence was minor, confirmed by the low level community order. The worst that will ...
He did not "opt" for disqualification in any meaningful sense.
It was a penalty imposed by the court after your husband's guilty plea, or following his conviction despite an earlier plea of not guilty. Hopefully the fotmer, as that at leadt suggests he accepted responsibility.
Declare the FPN at the earliest opportunity and explain that you forgot - very minor, long time sgo blah blah, very sorry blah blah. FPN on its own is not serious enough to merit refusal provided you admit it before the HO checks your criminal history. If you continue to conceal it HO are likely to ...
You will need to go through the UK entry stamps in your passport, and try to figure out when you had left using stamps from other countries. Only your initial entry will have been recorded using the landing card, which is why it showed on your SAR.
No need to leave quickly Trazema but if you stay for significantly longer than 30 days you may have problems on a future trip to the UK. If the officer *wrote* six months in your passport then a record of your conversation has been stored and will be available to the next officer you see. If that ha...
If you really want to then why not test UKBA's legal basis to decline to change the place of birth by lodging a judicial review, but I assume it is what you declared when you lied all those years ago? That will always be an embarassing fact to oversome in front of the judge who will consider whether...
With a good immigration history and a UK born son there is no strong prospect of your soon to be ex being required to leave the UK, particularly if your son will be living with her, though her current leave does not guarantee her continued residence in the UK. Be aware that once you advise HO of the...
I know it is harsh for you Fairydust, but the decision taken in respect of your BF would not surprise anyone who has some experience of visitor refusals. The decision making process may well have been ppor/flawed if the IO didn't check with you whether you intended to support him from benefits or sa...
Sounds like you meet the tests for registration in (1). Mum was a CUKC at the time of your birth; you would have been British by descent at birth had mothers transmitted their CUKC status in 1971, and you would have become a BC in 1983. If you leave the boxes in (2) blank and HO have a violent objec...
Have a look at http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/nationality/guide_ns.pdf Your grandparents status and naval service aren't directly relevant but that of your parents is. You state that your parents have British passports, but not which type of British passport, nor when...
If your appeal is against the original refusal to issue you with a residence card then it cannot now proceed. As you were refused a card and have now been issued with one then HO has withdrawn the decision under appeal; so under the procedure rules the appeal simply ceases to exist. If the appeal is...
Think Vinny has hit the nail on the head. If your g/f wants to stay legally you probably have few options other than an application on the basis of your relationship or an outside the rules plea for discretion. Tier 5 is very restrictive; no extensions of stay within the tier, no switching to other ...
Up to you whether you apply now or wait until these are a year old, but if you apply I strongly advise you to mention these penalties on your application. If you don't mention them you will be storing up trouble for when HO run police checks on you.
In my experience by far the best policy is to declare these things. If the incident is one over which caseworkers have discretion they generally apply it reasonably. If you declare the incident and they allow your application you can forget about it affecting you in future, at least for the Home Off...
1 As you obtained your BC through naturalisation following periods of leave/ILR your baby will be British wherever he(?) is born, but place of birth makes an important difference for your future grandchildren. If he is born outside the UK then he will be British by descent and will only be able to p...
The exemption from a visa ban if an application is made on the basis that you are married to someone is ONLY relevant if you are applying for entry under para 281. Rule 320(7C) is abundantly clear on that. 281 - not applicable. Your wife is not present and settled or being admitted for settlement. S...
The Tier 4 guidance states that you can rely on money in an account belonging to parents or legal guardians: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/pbs/Tier4migrantguidance1.pdf As you are probably over 18 I doubt very much that you can rely on showing that aunt/uncle have en...
Although you seem to have an overstay of more than 28 days, the fact that you left at your own expense in August 2008 shouldn't engage a visa ban. So you need to deal only with the 320(11) issue. Did the ECO not explain in his refusal letter what he considered to be the aggravating circumstances in ...
If Alan applies for a student extension before his current leave runs out then, even though it is doomed to fail because the funds are in his brother's name, he won't have to leave until any appeal is concluded. It seems to me that an appeal is similarly doomed to fail, but that doesn't stop him exe...
Don't YOU know whether you were a contractor (self employed) or an employee of the company? In UK employment law the basic distinction is between the type of contract that you have with the company. Employees have a "contract of service" while contractors have "contract for services". If your status...
UKBA's International Group has adopted a "hub and spoke" arrangement over the last few years. Passports cannot be sent over national borders, so if you applied in Pakistan your passport stays in the BHC there while the papers are sent to the relevant hub. In this case the hub is in the Gulf. Islamab...
