I would like to thank every one on here. Without this forum I don't know where I would be. My immigration history has been a very difficult and stressful journey. From being being an overstayer, being denied a DLR extension and having to appeal in the courts, SERCO phone calls telling me Im being deported and reporting at immigration centre. Using various solicitors/MP and spending 10's of thousands fighting my case, my fight is finally over.
I thank all the moderators/contributors and all the people on here who gave me hope when things got tough. I was a silent participant but all your advice helped me. God bless you all and remember to keep hope alive.
P.S Im addicted to this site now and hopefully I can contribute and give advice to others in some way.
