Will they detain my partner?

Post by east579new » Sun May 26, 2013 4:56 pm

My partner has just had her FLR(0) Application refused by the UKBA with no right of appeal they say she must leave immediately we are both really scared and frightened now about what will happen we have a child together 7 months old and a British citizen, i am English(British) will they detain her?.

I cannot look after our child alone as with all that’s been happening my mental health problems have resurfaced. please has anybody else been in a similar type scenario?.

I take it your were applying with respect to a family life case? Did you not meet the requirements for a spousal visa, have you considered the EEA route?

That's correct and i am currently divorcing, and do not meet any of the financial requirements even tho i managed to get back into full time work , i am now suffering with mental health issues because of whats happened and might be going to happen.

I fear it could be a case of if they take her from me and our child i might never get her back.

If they attempt to remove your wife she will be given a right of appeal.Not everyone who gets detained gets removed.Even if she is detained it would be highly unlikely she will be denied bail.

Hang on to your lawyer like a leech.You must be prepared for any thing i suggest your wife carries with her always a basic phone &charger that is not capable of taking photos or accessing the net and your lawyers phone numbers.

What form did you use to apply? what documents did you submit? how long have you been with your partner (living together)? And what were the grounds for refusal?

We used a solicitor for the application FLR(0) Supplied all the documents they asked for i have been with my partner for a couple of years now haven't found out why it was refused yet waiting to hear from the solicitor i assume with the reasons why.

The solicitor just sent a letter to us to say it had been refused and said they had sent another out(i assume outlining the reasons) the whole thing was just under 3 months from start to finish.

I read on a forum a few months ago that the UKBA might start to be very quick and negative with there decisions now legal aid has finished because they are counting on people not been able to fight back.

I expect the refusal will be for the usual reasons ie overstaying, forming a relationship whilst knowing of immigration status.

All they are doing now is making customers for the Capita bounty hunters so they can harass people into leaveing (because that’s all they can do they don’t have any powers its a payment by results model which relies on text, phone calls, home visits etc rather like those slimy debt collectors you hear about).

I would probably laugh if i didn’t want to cry so much as they think my partner will just go back and leave our child or knowing the UKBA cretins they probably want my partner to take our child with her so the child loses there British citizenship somehow.

If you were able to prove that you've been living together for at least 2 years (tenancy agreements, joint utility bills) with your partner, and provided your child's birth certificate, letters of support from family and friends, a copy of your and your child's British passports, then I really don't know why they refused you, was your partner an overstayer? do you work? this decision is shockin!
oh 1 last question: did you apply under "8L- other reason" on the flr(o) form?

They normally gives 28 days to leave,but once they serve your partner with the removal notice then you can do an appeal,after all you got a child together there's a way around it. Just be strong just make sure when your doing an appeal you provide all the documents you've got.

Yes my partner is an over stayer as i stated and i do work and we gave all the relevant documents our child’s birth certificate etc, i think for a while now after reading posts on various forums they seem to be going in this direction a lot refusing people without the right of appeal (they hope you just give in and leave and it leaves you in limbo kind of like a Mexican stand off in a western rubbish its just a case of who blink's first).

As i said i also suspect the legal aid aspect will have alot to do with it now as well.

can't you ask for a reconsideration and for them to take into account your child's best interests as a British citizen?

This ^ but it would help if you could get the reasons for refusal from the solicitor first!

@ east579new,

I hope your partner is not detained and that you are still together. My FLR(O) application was refused as well and I freaked out cuz I thought I was going to be detained and I even booked a £230 plane ticket just to cancel it the following day because I decided to make a new application instead of giving in and leave.

This was not my decision only but it's both my MP and new solicitor's advice. (my previous solicitor scammed me because he gave me a totally wrong immigration advice)

I have not been given the right to appeal because I still had a valid visa when a decision has been made. Another reason is that I haven't lived half of my life here.

I made a new application before the 28 days limit was over so I hope they will not consider that as overstaying.

I hope we will all rejoice one day. Good luck.
