Settlement or visiting visa

Post by terri » Sun Apr 22, 2012 8:42 am

A quick background:

in 2008 my Husband was refused settlement in the UK, because he overstayed, worked illegally and admiited obtain false entry clearance stamps in Nigeria to cover his oveystay in the UK Sad . This happened b/4 we met.

since we met he has tried to do the right thing

he returned to nigeria
we got married
applied for settlement- failed (He was refused under paragraph 320(11)
appealed to ait -failed
applealed again on error of law to ait= failed

No further applications have been made since and we have continued to maintain our relationship across boarders. We have recently had a church wedding in Nigeria, further to our registery marriage in 2008. We now want to put in a fresh application. Due to financial constraints will it be worth while to apply for a visiting visa first instead of a settlement visa?

A visit visa application may be refused under 320(11) as well. Did he have legal advice with the appeals?

Yes, we had a terrible lawyer at the time. Thus is it best to apply for a settlement visa.
