My story briefly:
Came here in 2000 on a visitor's visa and overstayed (issues i can't get into now). Anyway, I tried to regularise my status in 2010 as a dependent of my mother when she applied as the unmarried spouse of a british citizen. Was refused in 2011 which i knew would happen as I was over the age of 18- surprisingly, my mother's application was refused also (she has a british partner and british child).
At that time I was in a relationship with my boyfriend who is now my husband and moved in with him literally a month after the application was sent. As mentioned above the application was refused in summer of 2011 (received the letter the day I found out i was pregnant). Had difficulties with the pregnancy so decided to wait until after the baby was born before trying again to regularise my status. Got married in March 2012, I was 8 months pregnant and literally quaking in my boots that UKBA would come and drag me out on my wedding day. By the grace of God it went off without an itch yay!
So in January of this year my solicitor put in flro application based on me being the spouse/wife of a british citizen and the parent of a british child (not entirely sure of the particulars but know that in the cover letter he quoted countless amount of case studies relating to my case).
Anyway, here we are 9 months later and they've asked me for more documents some or most of which I haven't got but both my husband and solicitor has written good cover letters to explain this and i sent what I do have. What I found strange was the fact that not only did they ask for all our passports but they also asked for my daughter's (who is 18mnths old) 'red book'. What do you guys think? I mean she has been a poorly baby with chest problems ( probably will be asthmatic when she is older), has been admitted to hospital a few times which they know about. So I am not entirely sure about that one....(the case of the 'red book' I mean). We've sent it anyway.
I am sorry about the length of this post, i didn't realise I would go on for this length of time. Ok just tell me what you think about my case and or any opinions on the request for my baby's red book. Thanks
