Hi guys
We came to UK as a married couple in Jan 1997 on tourist visa. When visa was about to expire we sent letter to HO asking for extension. They sent some form to fill and I sent it back before visa has expired.
Unfortunately I don't have copy of that form but i do have recorded delivery slip from the post office.
Anyway, after a few months of waiting ( no answer from HO ) we decided to take asylum. Went through usual procedure: Refused in 2001 appealed and refused in 2003 ( in the meantime I received IS 96 in 2002 and since then I'm going to report every month. IS 96 was issued to me only. )
Appealed to tribunal in 2004 and that was dismissed same year and remitted back by the court of appeal in 2005
Important: On one of the court hearings HO representative admitted that they have lost all our data.
In 2007 we made 10 years long residence application which was refused same year because HO argued that we've overstayed our tourist visa in 1997. I know that I have sent everything on time but they say they got it 5th of Aug 1997 which makes it almost two weeks after visa has expired.
Its "my word against yours" situation.
Anyhow, in 2007 they issued 151A an that was the last time I've heard of them I was still going to report an in 2010 she got IS96 so she is going as well.
Marriage was going downhill since 2005 to the point that we have nothing to do with each other since and live sepparate lives. We are still on the same adders partly because we thought is necessary until we sort out our business with HO, divorce etc.
Since 2008 I have girlfriend and two step-children. I'm with her almost 5 years now.
without my knowledge my "wife" was sending letters to HO asking for ILR on long stay basis an god knows what else and last month she was refused and received IS151B. Letter is addressed to her. She left it on the table by accident , that's how I've found out otherwise I would never know what's going on.
My solicitor says: When she made fresh application, she automatically separated herself hence the letter is addressed to her and he also said that letter has nothing to do with me.
She has right to appeal and that is the story so far.
I want to know can she affect me now? I mean, I am 16 years in UK, have girlfriend (British) with two step children ( 6 and 13 )...what can happen?
Thank you
