overstaying due to pragnany

[linkhusnain]

I am a pakistani national postgraduate research student at University of Glasgow and I moved here from Italy with my wife and a three years daughter a month ago. I was granted a short term student visa for six months period and my dependents were given standard visitor visas for 6 months are are going to expire till mid december and my research period of six months is expiring on 3 January, 2018 because I received late visas.

Now we came across that my wife is pregnant and expecting delivery date is around 5 January, 2018 while visas are until 15 December, 17. She will be in the last month of her pregnant and would not be able to fly due to her medical condition until that stage. I came across an FLR (HRO) form to extend the leave to stay on the internet but i am not sure whether we can use it or not as our basis for visas issued are different(mine is student and dependents have visitor visa). Does anyone has some idea and your suggestion would highly be appreciated.

Thanks in anticipation.

They should leave before it gets too late or even drive or take a bus/ferry/train later.

Visit visa extensions are really for no-choice situations, civil wars etc, this is your hands plus you will have to pay for the birth if it gets to that, at cost plus 50%, could be a serious amount if the birth is complicated.

As Wanderer has suggested, she may be better off returning to Pakistan while she is capable of flying out.

While NHS treatment will not be refused to the mother-to-be, a person on a visit visa is charged 150% of any NHS services used by them during their visit to the UK and any failure to pay the charges will result in the patient being reported to the Home Office and problems with any future visa applications.

While I am not knowledgeable about the quantum of costs re pregnancy, in this thread, Casa has averred that a straightforward, uncomplicated birth, excluding ante-natal care, would cost £2000. As a visitor, your wife would therefore be billed £3000 for that service.

....and that's apart from the medical bills which would have to be paid for ante-natal and aftercare.
