@Crystal dear, I think contacting MP all depends on the MP and how helpful he is. At a point when it looked like my job was on the line,you wont believe that out of desperation I wrote to David Cameron ( please dont laugh.LOL. I also feel silly when I think of the lengths I went to all out of frustration and depression thanks to UKBA) :
I did get a response to say it will be looked into, but here I am still waiting.Wrote letter of complain to UKBA boss, it will be looked into but oddly enough never contacted my MP,how strange.
Now, I dont even want to contact anyone anymore but my God, he has the final say over any decision so he must intervene for me and all of us all and God will not dissapoint us,amen.
Thanks yawadud. Please remind me if you have been granted 30monthsyahwadud wrote:For many years, British voters have said that illegal immigration is among their chief concerns, and that they want the Government to be much more radical in combating it. But very few of them know either the scale of the problem – how many illegal immigrants live in Britain – or the nature of it. As a result, the idea of an amnesty creating a route to citizenship has long been widely derided. That is what makes the latest intervention of Nadhim Zahawi, a rising Tory MP, fascinating.
In a provocative essay for a think-tank called Right Revival, Mr Zahawi argues that the Tory party should embrace the idea of an amnesty as a means of reconnecting with voters from ethnic minorities. In fact, there are much better reasons for supporting such a policy.
Illegal immigrants may arrive unlawfully, may arrive lawfully but overstay, or may be the children of those who do either. Naturally, their number cannot be guessed with much precision, but estimates are generally about 600,000 at least. There are three policy approaches to this problem.
First, mass deportation; second, the status quo; and third, amnesty. The first won’t happen; the second is ineffective; and the third has costs and benefits. One cost is that it might be seen to reward illegal behaviour; another is that it would encourage further migration. The evidence for both is limited. The benefits, however, are clear. The London School of Economics has estimated that taking illegal immigrants – many of whom have been here for more than a decade – out of the shadows could reduce criminality and generate £3bn in taxation.
It was Citizens UK, the community organising group, that put an amnesty on the political agenda. Since it began campaigning in the last parliament, some surprising advocates have emerged, including Boris Johnson. Smart Tories are realising that while the word amnesty is thought to imply a soft touch, in fact the moral, social and economic case is hard-headed. As Mr Zahawi notes, it may be good politics, too.

Thank you so much Crystal, I am so grateful for your understanding and am glad you understood my point,thanks so much.I feel much better now.
About the David Cameron thing, I also laugh anytime I remember,
only God can help us with the UKBA guys. Just like you I am leaving it all to God now. It is well with us all.
@Verbina, thanks for your kind words. Yes I got a character reference from my old Army Regiment, Hopefully I am hoping for the best, it's just that it is hard to concentrate on anything else. @ Yummymummy, I think I better walk into the MP's office to book an appointment to see him on his surgery days. Thanks to you both I wish you all the best tooverbina wrote:@socrates My heart goes out to you, this is a dreadful position to be in after serving 3 years in a British Army! Just keep your head up! Im sure you got glowing character references from the army! So its clear that you are very much of an asset to this country and overstayed through no fault of your own. Fingers crossed your MP and Ombudsman will be able to get HO to see sense!

@ grenadagirl, you just have to be hopefu and positivel. Don't set your mind on failure. Your length of stay is a big advantage to you, if you can prove it.

As long as you have send ur school details, and letters of what you have been doing in the past 15yrs then you will be fine. yOU SHOULD HAVE APPLIED FOR ilr under 14yrs rule last year and not flro.
