helpingperson wrote:Hi
My last student visa extension appeal is refused. I have made new Tier4 application now after that appeal refusal meeting all requirements.
My previous application was refused due to deception in PSW application.
My partner is on student visa, she has applied for Entrepreneur visa and waiting for decision. She is pregnant and baby is expected in next 10 days.
Due to deception my position is very weak. I want to make dependent as Tier1 Entrepreneur of my partner or discretionary leave application.
Can you please advise me what applications should I make? Which application has better chance of success?
Any ideas will be appreciated.
Thank you Greenie and others for your reply.Greenie wrote:You can't switch in country from tier 4 to tier 1 dependent. Discretionary leave will no longer be granted after 9 July. I don't see how you would qualify for leave on the basis of your private or family life in this scenario.
Thanks Greenie.Greenie wrote:Ukba are not going to grant you leave as a dependent on discretionary grounds when you have been refused leave on grounds of deception. As i understand from your previous posts your wife does not even have leave under tier 1 entrepreneur yet. Why would she set up a business and apply for leave under tier 1 in the full knowledge that you currently have no leave to remain and have been refused due to deception, other than because you are trying to find any way possible to remain here? Why can't you and your wife set up a business and enjoy your family life in your home country?
I thank you for your response.Greenie wrote:I am not being pessimistic or harsh, i am being realistic. You don't qualify for leave as a dependent in country as you are well aware. In order to be granted leave on family life grounds you would have to show that your family life would be interfered with and any interference is disproportionate. Your wife is not settled in the UK, she is here as a temporary migrant currently. If she now chooses to apply for leave under tier 1 she does so in the full knowledge that your situation in the UK is precarious and that you don't qualify for leave as her dependent under the rules. Given these circumstances the ukba will not use discretion to grant you leave as her dependent and an immigration judge is unlikely to find in your favour because there is nothing stopping you both from returning to your home country and using your £200k to support yourself there.
