Hi,there
My friend plz d,nt fell wrong but d,nt laying if u really need advice over here u write for my friend its not good say clearly for me no body ask u about your name ,nationality ,race etc etc,any how I give u advice if u or your friend prove three years prove for leaving together then dnt worry its short out in court but I dnt think you get early date from court or you can send them reconsideration request as well but dnt widraw appeal because I did same I appeal the refusal decision and send them reconsideration request as well and then after when I get court date for hearing I call to HO ever week at least two times hope you get some advice from me tc.

No it's my friend
Can he apply reconsideration and appeal at same time?
What else he can do to prove durable relationship?

It's best to ask for a reconsideration before appealing, as it's Home Office policy that a reconsideration request will not be looked at if there is a pending appeal.

You should know that unmarried partners do not have automatic rights of residence, only spouses do. Member States can admit unmarried partners at their discretion after examining their individual circumstances. The past immigration history of a spouse cannot be held against him (Case C-127/08 Metock), however I'm afraid there is no such protection for extended family such as unmarried partners.

Hi,

I have applied in same category on 11/06/2014 and we have two years cohabitation proofs plus have a beautiful baby boy as well alhamdolillah. My previous immigration history is not ideal too. I was expecting bit different outcome but after you experience i am getting little worried too. I can not see anything in your application to be refused. I would be thankful to you if you give me some answers to my question which are in my mind now.
Did you have HO visit to your home if yes then after how long they came after submitting your application?
How long they took to decide your application?
Any interviews?
When did CoA arived?
Did you have right to work in yiur CoA?

Please reply as it will help me allot. thanks
