STATIC LIFE WITH UKBA

Post by Commonwealth » Sat Apr 24, 2010 11:37 pm

Am highly new to this forum and i do not want it to be down or not updated. Because it has really and really help me. Thanks to everyone.
I would like to share my experience with u all, l came to UK as a student to study PG diploma which l studied after i applied for post study work visa for 2 years which was turned cos l didnt produce certicate but l produced my result and transcripts, l was asked to appeal which l did but lost the appeal. During the process of my appeal l applied for certificate of approval for marriage which was allowed, later applied for unmarried visa before our wedding in december and it was rejected without appeal saying that l have no valid stay in UK. And i was asked to go to my country and settle with my wife. But am so lucky that my wife is a British and irish. Initially, l was dealing with HO/UKBA with my wife British nationality but l realized they were so sturborn to grant me continue stay. All l did was to reapply under EEA laws even before our wedding because l did not want to be arrested on my wedding day even though it was approved by ukba. So after the wedding l submitted fresh application under EEA2 law in dec 2009 received COA on the 12/01/2010, in march l recalled for my passport cos it has expired. Now l have got a new passport, received letter from home office asking me to submit my old and new passports with more payslips of my wife with letter of cohabitation since february 2009 which is not required by law but l didnt want to waste time all they requested for have been submitted. My case is with case worker as l was told on thursday when l posted the documents. I hope i receive my RC soon. It has been awful. That is my experience with UKBA.
