Overstaying tourist visa in UK, what will happen now?

[paige6533]

Hi everyone,

Starting from the beginning, my ex boyfriend is not from the UK and came over here on a tourist visa early last year, we met end of summer and instantly clicked straight away - I have never had such a strong connection to someone before. Basically by the time we got close and felt as though he could fully trust me he told me that his visa had run out and he was staying here illegally. He told so if i wanted to end everything there he wouldn't blame me. It was a big shock and left me so confused but i knew he was the one and we was going to carry on as usual and live each day as it came as I was so happy with him.

His family back in his home country have recently had a family crisis and he has come to the decision that he has to go home back to be with them as he also misses them very much. It was a hard decision but its what has to be done as he loves this country and just wants to be able to make a life here, get a job, make a family, own a home and so on.

We are not together anymore as i agreed we best stop seeing each other otherwise it will only be harder for when he does go home. His planning on going back in the next few weeks which would mean he would have overstayed his tourist visa for about 6 months. So he is going back voluntary and paying for his own ticket home.

What will happen now to him once he gets to the airport? Will he defiantly be banned from entering the UK again, if so for how long? Would there be any way at all for him to be able to come back?

I love him dearly but I am only 20 years old, if I was a few years older I would 100% go back with him just so we can be together. Now i am just worrying about the situation hoping he will all be okay. I know what he done was wrong, and a year back I would be moaning about this situation, however meeting someone who has actually overstayed and seeing how much they just want to make a life here makes me realise so much. There is nothing for him back in his home country. It has made me realise that we defiantly take our lives for granted over here in the UK.

I just need to put my mind at ease as I cant stop worry about it all as I just want more anything to be able to be with him:(

Unlikely he will be successful with a visitor visa again.

Not sure what other visa he might qualify for, it depends on his circumstances. There is no 'boyfriend/girlfriend' visa either.

He may be automatically refused for at least one year.

It is highly unlikely he would ever get a visitors visa again.

Any future applications for fiancée/spouse visa etc they could refuse and say he has "frustrated immigration rules" by overstaying.

To ever bring him back in the UK you would need to be earning £18600 or have held over £62500 in savings.

You need to seriously consider is it worth him leaving he may never get back in the UK.

If applying as a fiance or a spouse he shouldn't be refused under 320(7b) of the Immigration Rules, but read through the guidance to UKVI Case Workers on when a refusal under 320(11) applies to see if this is relevant to your boyfriend.
