my current immigration status in uk, permanent residence?

Post by catalzzy » Fri Mar 29, 2013 2:51 pm

I know its long to read all those stuff up but its to clarify my position in uk.

I am a Malaysian citizen and i used to study/stay in UK for approx 10 years without holidays.

I have been applying for a student visa successful and one unsuccessful application due to the fee requirement mistake like something to hold in a bank account for at least 28 days.

On the last year of 2012, i was studying at European School Of Economics University in London located in Hyde park corner and i was under my student visa in that university. Nearing to my summer holiday and i flew back to Malaysia with an intention of having a summer holiday back at my home country. Until around July 2012, I received an email from my university stating that their licence has been revoked with some matter going on between my university and ukba border agency. Hence, my 4 years visa has been void due to the suspension of my university's license. since i was finishing my 2nd year studies. My university emailed me to inform me that they are applying for a new licence which is successful and that was around in November 2012 i think.

I was stuck in Malaysia and i heard news from my mum as she is staying in our home in central London about the ukba border force who forcefully rammed in our home and have a warrant for me. My mum told me that these guys are saying i am illegal to stay here. I cant believe it. I mean, I left England in May which I thought they might have mistaken me for staying in UK secretly because they wondered whether i have left uk in july. The uk border force asked my mum when did i left etc. I never worked illegally nor never had a proper job in England.

Since that incident relating to my so "illegal" stay in England, and ukba border force were informed by my mum that i have left the country but the question is:-

will i be able to come back to England for my holiday visit? or applying for a new visa in the future? and i am wondering i am banned?

Also,

I came to UK previously for holiday somewhere in the 90's when i am a toddler, then came to again for holiday occasions. I m sure it dosent count. When my father searched for a deaf school in UK and it was called Mary Hare Grammar School based in Newbury, West Berkshire. I started there under my visa and first started in 2001 in year 8. It was a boarding school as i stayed there for 7 years. The holidays i went back to Malaysia each length comes in 3 months, a month, 2 weeks or a week. Not more than 3 weeks. Usually that happens in school holidays and summer holidays. Then right after that, i went straight into university which was 2 of them totaling 3 years where i got my first permanent home address which is owned by my father as it is a freehold property. Literally, I stayed at my home address for 3 years.

Would that make me eligible to get permanent residence as i have my own bank account and permanent home address? Is there any way to do it?

Thanks.

You have not been banned.You can apply for any visa you want so long as you meet the requirements.

There are many routes to ILR unfortunately having permanent home and a bank account is not one of them.

I checked the ukba website and one part i missed about getting ILR after a minimum stay of 5 years and minimum of 3 years while being married? is that about British citizenship and i am not sure.

catalzzy, that is indeed about applying for British Citizenship. It is not about making a visa application.

Yes you can but please make sure you apply at least 28 days before you have to leave the country and have proof you have been in the country 10 years legally .

how come?

mum told me recently as she was in uk that time while i was in malaysia.

She said that the immigration guys came with the debt collection guys because i have debt to owe back. I have no intention to run away and never pay back. I always pay on time to vodafone and talk talk every month from the past 3 years and when i have ran out of money, that is the point where i couldnt pay every month. The debt collector reported to immigration and i dont know what happened.

do you think its going to be impossible to go back to uk and the border would say i m in debt and could arrest me or deport me back?

thanks

By debt collection guys I take it you mean bailiffs. That will then mean that whatever debt you owe has been outstanding for a long period of time to the point where a court has allowed enforcement action against you. This in turn means you have a CCJ. That Theresa May recently moved to exclude persons who have a conviction for as little as a CCJ. Having that CCJ calls into question your ability to fund your own stay as a visitor without recourse to public funds. You are not asked on a visitor application form about whether you have any civil judgements (Other than immigration related ones) but it is likely to be on your record anyway which they will refer to when you make any application. Those bailiffs really did you a dis-service when they ratted on you to the UKBA.

What does ccj mean? and are you saying i have a conviction that is permanent on my records in uk? how about going to uk upon arrival at the uk border and they would notice it when i show my passport that will result me in deportation or jail or something? is it being under debt a crime in uk?

Your debts will not turn up on the screen of the immigration officer.It is not a crime to be in debt.

You will not be jailed or deported they will ask you about your intentions of coming to the UK.
