HELP: Nigerian National and child abduction

[Damivi]

I'm just wondering if anyone can help me.

My ex partner was granted DLR in Sept 11 and it expires in Sept 14 based on our relationship and our son. We separated only a few weeks after he received his docs so i am convinced me n our son were just a plan to remain in the UK.
He since hasn't had ANY contact with our son due to threats of abduction to his home country NIGERIA. There was also serious domestic abuse throughout the whole relationship and this is still going through court now. He hasn't complied with ANYTHING the court have requested and we are still waiting for him to be assessed for the third time, for a Domestic Violence Perpetrators Prog.

My stupidity is irrelevant. I just need to know where i stand with him being removed. I have wrote to the Home Office (a K Gordon?) in 2012 and he/she responded. They suggested a curtailment of his visa based on the retraction of mine and my parents sponsorships but i since haven't heard anything because i moved address. I have wrote to them twice recently and still haven't heard anything, i understand they're very busy so i will just have to wait for that.

Is there a telephone number i can call? An office i can visit for support?

It was suggested that he may be removed because the relationship that he was granted leave for, no longer exists and based on the evidence i can provide, it may be proven it was a 'sham'.

Can anybody help me?

His DLR will need to be extended for a further 3 years before he can apply for settlement and if the circumstances have significantly changed he should be refused. That us assuming he does not have 10 years valid stay here?

You can write to the DLR casework team, explaining that the circumstances have changed, his abuse, lack of contact with child etc.... That's about all you can do. Otherwise, try and forget him and concentrate on the order to prevent contact.

He doesn't have 10 years valid stay here. He barely managed to get the DLR for 3. Do you know where i need to write to? Is there any specific address and person/team i need to be addressing the letters to? Because i don't want to keep writing to people who aren't going to be able to deal with it properly.

Thanks for your help.

My ex partner had his visa curtailed because of the breakdown of our relationship and because of serious DV. I recieved a letter via my solicitor stating that he now has NO VALID LEAVE TO REMAIN and NO outstanding applications.

What does this mean for him?

You're better off asking your solicitor as they have all the facts.

We have only a vague understanding from your previous posts.

But please update us.

Basically, he was granted LTR based on our relationship, in 2011 but we then separated a week later(!) ..Says one thing and one thing only

He hasnt had any contact with our son for 2 years and i have been in contact with the HO since Jan 2012 when my solicitor made it clear how serious the DV was and the risk he poses

He hasn't complied with anything the court has asked of him and he is due to start a DV programme but hasn't (not entirely sure why) but hes basically been an arse from day 1 and the judge has made it clear he's not happy with him

He was also told to hand in his passport to reduce the risk of abduction and he stated he'd reported it as lost to the HO

The HO have confirmed there's no report and they don't have any of his travel documents and as i said, in the same letter, they've said he now has NO valid leave to remain as his visa was curtailed in 2012

However, i don't think they know where he is as his last known address was the one we shared which ive been left for a long time - they wouldn't have his tel number either

Does this help? x

As I said - ask your solicitor - there's a whole other bunch of history here that we can't possibly know or ask enough questions about.

better continue in your original thread as it has background info - HELP: Nigerian National and child abduction

This means your ex-partner is likely an overstayer unless he has appealed a decision. This may now put you at increased risk of abuse/repercussion. I would discus this with your legal team.

They have said he has no valid leave as his visa was curtailed and there are no current outstanding applications x

So his options are:

1) Leave
2) Remain illegally
3) Put in an application outside the rules
