I posted before that our appeal was adjourned and that we will get a new hearing date but it has been more than a month and we still have not received a new date.
Spoke to the solicitor and said that we just have to wait
is this normal?
what can we do?
Hi newgirl

I think your solicitors gave correct answer. I know some of them are waiting about 3/4 months for hearing date. But you might get a positive answer from HO before hearing, you never knows. Stay blessed.
Hey
we got a new date for May now
just more waiting now

Hi there

I am using this forum from a while. I found it extremely helpful. I have a situation, shouldn't be new to most of you guys.

I have got ILR last year. I have got 2 kids they are British nationals now. 5 and 3 years old. My Mrs came into this country 8-9 years back. But she does not have any status in this country.Now we decided to apply for her.

As she not been back to her country for long time. Can she go back and apply from there as i am earning more than £19000 per year.
Any suggestions in my case if she goes back , Merits & Demerits and any consequences which can effect on the applications. As my both kids just started school this year so i am looking to send her this summer to see her family and apply from there as well.Kids need to join back school in September again.
I believe if she will granted visa from back home . it would be 5 years instead of apply inside the UK discretionary basis 10 years route.
She stayed in this country illegally for such a long time , could this be a worst effect on the considerations for the application.

Does it make any difference if a person illegal entry or an over stayer?

I will highly appreciate for your expert advice and experiences.

Best Regards

Better to apply for her in conutry Flr fp application.

Best interest of child ( british kids and settled partner). Better to seek legal advice.

If u send her back, maybe she faces a 10 years ban.

Please I need some advice. I came into UK in October, 2009 on student visa, and have been renewing till last visa ended May 31, 2014. Since then, I have not made any application due to limited funds. My partner has legal status based on pending application on FLR O discretionary leave since Dec 10, 2014. He has not had any response since Biometric was done Dec 17, 2014.
Today, the home office came to our house and after interrogation served me IS96, took finger prints and photograph. They asked that my husband seek solicitor advice. We have a 5 year old child born in UK and has never left the country who is seeing speech therapist due to delayed speech. A copy of his birth certificate was also taken and he has never been included in any of our previous visa application. Am expected to report on Friday at immigration center (Myself Only).
Please what do I expect from the immigration center and What is the best option available to us now? Thanks In Advance.

Hi, I think u need to see a solicitor ASAP. As for coming to the immigration centre,I think it's jst for u to sign on so they know where u are. They may have detained or arrested u had it not be for ur son or ur partners pending application. My situation is a bit similar to urs where as I am siging on pending my appeal hearing which I haven't received a date for yet. Been here 10yrs and appealing against removal (am an overstayer) have 2kids (4yrs and 2yrs). My 4yr old is also receiving speech therapy cos he's got speech delay and diagnosed with global developmental delay, and my partner has jst submitted an application to the HO(pending). God luck with ur case and seek. Solicitors advice.

May I also say that I had previously submitted few applications that were refused, then served with removal notice which is appealable.

Is new evidence or change of circumstance can be acceptable until the case reaches at First Tier Tribunal hearing?

My Mrs FLR (fp) was refused in December last year with appeal right which is under process.
I have ILR (LR) and we have British child as well.

I just started signing. It was my 2nd yesterday but my solicitor said I have nothing to worry about as I have a pending appeal hearing. I applid for the FLR in 2011,was refused in 2013 and I sent reconsideration later which was refused and then we asked for a JR which was also refused hence d appeal. I'm really trusting God on this.:)

You mean your FLRO took 2years before refusal?. I will be going for first signing this Friday. My partner is a medical doctor in the process of registering with General Medical Council and has a pending FLR O application, Now that am signing, I hope it won't affect his application based on my overstaying. He is confused right now.

I read the news about the lady and her son, it's so sad that they took that against her. However the story I read on Yahoo news is quite different from this one. It says that she came in 2003 and claimed asylum some years after which was refused in 2008 and arrested the same year whilst working with fake documents and was convicted for 9months. After that she made another application which was refused and after then was set to be removed but it was delayed due to her suffering from some mental issues....

Thanks for your reply. But i am still confuse why not send her back? She is not from my background so its hard for me to move over to her country and stay there. As my kids born here and started their schools now.I do not have many papers proof of her to stay together because of no bank account but personal references from friends and neighbours can get in good numbers.
I am afraid about my family being stuck there back home. On Human Rights ground they still can ban her?
For her some personal and family reasons i prefer to send her back for a while.
Please advice me further anyone what shall i do in this situation., I will appreciate.
Best Regards

Zakir 1988 , please can you answer few of my questions.

when you recieved acknowledgment letter , after how long you received invitation to record biometric ?

or was biometric invitation came with same envelop as acknowledgment letter ?
zakir1988 wrote:Hello guys I have been following this thread carefully to cut to the point

My partner came to UK 2009 July with her mum and sister aged 16 as a visitor then her nan had a storke they all put in application for asylum got refused then made many applications then got refused they all went to court in September 2013 they where waiting for the decision.

All her family live in UK her nan, uncles aunty.

In 2012 I got married to her Islamic way her passport is with the HO when they made there first application they had to hand there passports over.

Few months later when she can back from court we found out the decision she got refused after then we received a latter saying where she currently lives we even provided them proof of marriage photos, wedding card with date on it etc.. Then we received another latter saying she needs to report to HO in london bridge every two weeks that what she's doing for the past two years then after doing some research and known a bit before we can't put in application if we have not lived together 2 year or more I didn't know what application we had to fill then I found out FLR FP was the right one for us.

We also have a daughter who is born here 6 months old now I'm a British citizen born here in UK London.
My partner age is now 22 her application was with her mum and sister after 18 she is a single applicant.

We made the application with a solicitor providing all the evidence needed my partner living with me I put her name on the house bill etc.. And also gave my work payslips I work part time.

Guys remember doing FLP FP you having to be living together 2 years or more and show proof living together.

After solicitor finished filling our FLR FP form he sent it date 27/11/14
Then received to do biometric 3/12/14 biometric done 9/12/14 at PO

we are still waiting outcome.

No anonymity direction is made- you did not ask for your names including your son name not to be mentioned in fully in respect to the case. If you have seek for anonymity your names will only appear in pubic record as initials, however, this has notting to do with the judgement
Your expectation will manifest very soon
