Need ILR/FLR on compassionate grounds -family on ILR.Help!

[asho]

Hi,

I have been in the UK since 1998, currently a permanent employee of a uk company (Business Development Executive), without recourse to any public funds, as per my stamp. I DONT HAVE a work permit, my passport got stamped as a dependent on a work permit holder.

The WP holder (my dad) recently changed status to ILR; mum and brother on ILR as well. apart from me. My stamp expires in July 2006, I am looking for a way extend my leave to remain in the UK.

What are my options? In regards to WP, my employer says they do not spondor, they will give supporting documentation of employment history etc though.
Anyone know if umbrella companies - wondering if I can, for eg, still continue working with my current employer?
Apart from marriage, do I have any other options? some way around this?


Many thanks,

Ash

The WP holder (my dad) recently changed status to ILR; mum and brother on ILR as well. apart from me.

Why apart from you? Why were you left out of the procedure?

My whole family (parents and brother) applied for ILR, following my dad completing the 4 yrs on his WP - theirs worked because my brother being a student still gets his funds from my parents - probably still was considered a dependent, even though he was 19.... whereas myself being over 25 and working - I was therefore advised to apply separately.

Thing is, now I do not fall into any category?!?!? and i have no home overseas to go back to..! how do I apply for FLR/ILR....

When did your father first enter the UK and what was his status then?

My dad came into the UK in 2001 and had a work permit, completed 4 yrs and got ILR for whole family bar myself.

I am being told that, as I am currently staying in the UK, I cannot apply for a WP. Is this the case?

Does anyone know how I could extend my stay based on compassionate grounds. ie based on the fact that my whole family is in the UK and I do not have a home overseas, how could I apply for FLR?

does anyone know if people do indeed get leave on compassionate grounds?

my family is all in the uk - i have been here since 1998 - and i dont have a home to go back to... it was sold when my parents came over!

current stamp is dependent on a work permit holder...

cheers

Are you eligible for HSMP as an under 28?

[asho]

nope... points dont add up because my job salary is not above the requirement, and my job is not related to my masters degree either...
