ILR being revoked by IO at port-help! suspecting Fraud

Hi Everyone,

I would really appreciate some help as a friend had ILR after being married to a UK citizen. However the Home Office have come to know that he has a previous wife and children which he had hidden from his UK wife and HO.

He has been interviewed by IO at the airport and they have took his passport from him and given him initial entry for further investigation in the UK for 7 days.

He has declared he had been divorced to the first wife before marrying the british wife. So they are asking for his divorce certificate which he doesn't have. He has took an extension for 5 days, then a further 7 days.

He has a child with the uk wife, but the HO have proof that his previous marriage exists. If he had been divorced at the time of marrying thr 2nd time around the Pakistani marriage deed would have stated so as there is a question asking Bridegroom's previous wife which he has not filled in.

Could you please advise what would happen if his ILR is revoked when he goes for his decision? Would he be deported? How soon would he have to return to his home country?

Also do you think he would have any chance at all if he were to appeal this?

Many thanks

D

He needs to provide evidence that his first marriage doesn't exist (legally). In absence of such evidence and the fact that he did not disclose his previous relationship, if asked at any point / in any form, UKBA may charge him for obtaining spouse visa and ILR fraudulently and therefore may decide to revoke his ILR.

Thankyou for your response.

If ILR is revoked what procedure happens with him? Ie. does he get his passport or do they keep it? Will they deport him or ask him to leave voluntarily?

You will be deported immediatly its just matter of time as you have already accepted that you fraudulently married to british women without giving divorce to first wife. Your second marriage is null and void
