The Home Office might be a bit sceptical about why being in hospital prevented your wife being extending her visa. What prevented her from physically filling in the FLR form before her current visa expired? You could have filled in the form for her and all she would have had to do was sign it.

I think with an overstay of only 4 months, plus supporting evidence, your chances are good.

Appeals on Human Rights grounds almost always fail these days.

You should have a decision within three or four weeks.

Send everything to the Croydon address, send it recorded delivery, and mark it clearly with your reference number if you have one. And keep a copy of everything you send.

I have today recieved within a week of sending off the application a letter from the HO stating the need more correspondce for my wife and be from may 2005 till may 2006 does this mean they have overlooked the ''overstay'' and now are concerned with the correspondance that was sent to my wife and me on the above dates?

Regarding the documents my wife did not recieve much letters in her first year of stay she only recieved her antenatal appointments and letter which we have not kept the hospital and doctor has said tehy will provide us copies of letters we have sent out to you in that year will that be enough as the letter does state it wants orignals only - .

My MP also wrote to the Ho regading this matter she has sent me copy of the letter to me as well should i send that copy with the documents?

THE LETTER

'' To help me consider the matter - please send me the follwing documentation . Please send ORIGINAL documentation as photocopies are NOT acceptable for the purpose of deciding your application.
