So, basically, they need 24/7 care - Reason of refusal: ECO accepted that there is no one else in the family to provide the requi...

I've just realised that this is a duplication. Please ignore this thread

Hi All, There is a lot of posts about compassionate grounds but this is something that can't be proven at all. It seems it is all on judge s discretion. Can you please tell how can one prove that there are compassionate grounds when one believe that they are? Any advise on what evidences should be s...

Thanks, Vinny, But as I said earlier, I am now back to the UK and there are no long-term/permanent arrangements for my mother's care available. So the support is definitely not available to her in the long-term. Even the current support and me not being there has severely impacted her health Also, I...

Thanks for the clarification CR001, yes, we applied for an Elderly dependent visa ( I keep confusing it with ILR as I believe this is what they would have issued if the application was successful) Can you please tell, Is it okay if I ask in the same thread on how the hearing date for her appeal can ...

it was refused as the ECO believed that there are alternate care arrangements available for the look after of my elderly parent.

The question is, can the hearing date be brought forward and if yes, how can this be done?

hi All, ILR for my elderly parent was refused and a hearing date after 7 months has been allocated. However, I believe this is is not possible for us to wait for that long and therefore I would like to expedite the appeal and can provide the evidence of change in the circumstances. Can you please te...

Many thanks for your reply, All I know from a common friend is that he is illiterate and was initially told by his in-laws that his documents are all sorted when they threw him out of the house. So for a couple of years, he imagined the same but it was only after 5 or 6 years that somebody told him ...

hi Vinny, Thanks for the reply. He is from Pakistan and I have no idea how is he surviving her. I guess his son is now 16 and he only saw it twice. Once he saw him when he was 6 or 7 and at that time his ex-wife came up and threatened that she would call the police if he does not leave I guess the m...

Thanks for the reply Vinny, As I mentioned earlier, I do not see the stay of that man legal since he never renewed any of his documents after coming to the UK. He has no documents on him and has not seen his wife for almost 15 or 16 years. so the references that you have given does not apply on his ...
