As a genuinely stateless person, it is unlikely that he can be sent anywhere. On the other hand, as someone that's been in prison, he's unlikely to benefit from any regularisation either. So unfortunately he may well just continue to exist in a limbo indefinitely.

What was he in prison for and for how long? If the offence was minor he might still be considered under the "legacy case" resolution exercise. For him to benefit from it, he would need to be in touch with Immigration. It would be in his interests to sign.

well for buglary and firearms i think aint sure

he could claim a iraqi passport , but from what i know when he claimed asylum he said he was a kuwaiti national

he realy does not want to live in the uk as he wants to go back to kuwait he just wants to get uk nationality and then he can use that to enter the gulf emirate of kuwait where his family can sponsor him as a forejgn worker

as he is in no need for uk in regards to economic benefit

as life in kuwait for him is easy as his he wil just live back as normal in his family home

but the issues is getting back there

Could he not then be sponsored as a foreign worker in Kuwait if he held an Iraqi passport?

With his offences, I would say it's extremely unlikely that he would ever get a UK passport.

I'm so slow...I read "firearms" as "carrying fire" and setting off alarms.

Firearms? No BC for him! Get him to apply for an Iraqi passport, or at least find out if he can.

... With that record the HO could argue that he should feel more at home in Iraq than over here.

According to the OP the guy doesn't even want to be in the UK/EU. He only wants a passport - any passport! - to get back to Kuwait. So if he could indeed apply for a passport from the Iraqi officials here (or wherever), then immediately arrange a visa for Kuwait, then he will leave the UK.

If I remember correctly the Kuwaitis aren't too fond of Iraqis. Something about a little invasion in early 90's....
