ILR - 14 year rule

[noush]

Hello everyone,

Please can you tell me if its tru that the Home Office are basically looking for ways to say NO to people applying for residency / ILR under the 14 year rule. I read the below post from last year some time and am shocked...actually more sickened as I have just placed an application for 14 years..

Hi Tammi
I did wonder about the same thing. I applied under the 14 year rule, was refused by HO, but appeal was allowed by AIT.

Apart from my passport being retained what worried me sick was that I was served with a form called IS151A and given temporaly admission restrictions namely to reside at my address and report to an immigration centre every month end. On the form it stated in clear terms that I was a person who would be detained at any time. I felt this was a monitoring mechanism and they would pick me up any time.

I would have thought that somebody being here for that length of period surely cannot be deported but the rules are changing so fast that anything is possible these days. Just make sure your case is watertight and as far as I know under the 14 year year rule HO is looking for reasons to say NO, but remember AIT is looking for reasons to say YES to you.
