Refused Legacy

mylord · Post by **mylord** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 1:27 pm

My legacy case was refused by CAAU with a No bases of stay Letter. No reason was given for the refusal. I have been in the UK since 2002 whn i seek asylum. I was told to go for JR or reconsideration but I do not have money to get a solicitor so I would like to do it myself if possible. I have a 5years old son who is british and my name is on his birth certificate but I (father) and mother are not living together. I already have a letter which the mother gave me recently confirning my everyday visit and support to the child. can someone please help me on how to go about it so that UKBA can reconsider their decision please.

Right of access to child may be one option, and you may also benefit from Zambrano ruling.

did you submit evidence of your relationship with your child to the UKBA?

I did not submit before the refusal. I only submited the birth certificate and I did not know that I had to submit an evidence of contact with the child. I am the father and not married to the mother but I see the child everyday and I pick the child up from the childminder in the afternoon when the mother drops him in the morning to go to work. The mother has now given me a letter to confirm that and even the child minder has also given me a letter.

you need to submit evidence of your relationship with your child and evidence of the contact you have with the child. there's no point JRing now you need to give them an opportunity to consider the evidence first. Just submitting the birth certificate is not enough. Seek legal advice if possible. If you do not have an income you should qualify for free legal help.

Are the letters from the mother of the child, child minder,neighbor and birth certificate enough?

do you have photographs of yourself with the child?
does your child go to school (as he is 5 years old) - can you get school reports/letter from teacher?
do you financially support the child? if so how and can you evidence this other than the letter from the mother?

i do not financially support my child as i am not working and I submited about ten pictures of me and my child before they refused my case

if you're not working then you will qualify for free legal help so suggest you seek advice from an immigration solicitor/adviser providing advice under an LSC contract.

I went to see a legal aid solicitor and she said the best is to do further submision or article 8 application but she told me i have to pay for the homeoffice fees for the article 8. I cant understand it because I went there because i dont have money. i do not even have the bus fare from london south east to liverpool. what should i do because i have not yet received any reply for the reconsideration letter that I sent.

Can some one please advise me with my problem. Not yet received any acknowledgement from UKBA about my letter of reconsideration request. What else should I do?
