I got my Indefinate leave to remain in 2003 and due to apply for citizenship next month. In 2004 i registered my marriage here in the Uk, and send for a spousal application for my husband at the Home Office. My husband was an asylum seeker then until I sent the application. The Ho replied to say my application was valid and would get back to me within 12 weeks. Since then I have not heard anything. We have a british baby daughter and we are expecting another in May. I hv contacted the MP George Mudie and who has taken this on board. The last letter I received form the Ho said that my case was still awaiting to get a case worker to deal with it. Since 2004.\r\n\r\nThe Ho has never replied the solicitors that I had asked to take over my case as we had applied for this visa alone.\r\n\r\nPlease advice replying to my email on wat to do as im nw stranded and have been fending for the family myself for the last 4 years. by Loveness Moyo

I came in this country in early 2003 and claim asylum soon after, but my case was accepted by the first judge, the home office appeal and won the case in the tribunal by arguing that my country is so large and i can relocate somewhere else to avoid the authorities. since then my solicitor let me down due to fund and i went underground but in the mean time i meet a partner and have been together since end 2003 we now have a daughter who is 2years and 7months old. they have recently been given the ILR. I have just heard about the second second claim or fresh claim despite not having any contact with the home office for 3years can any kind of application be launched at this stage? thank you for your time and would be very gratefull of your anwser. by jacques kamwa

I have three children who are british citizens and my wife have an indefinate leave in the UK. I applied for regularisation of my stay based on the 14yrs rule and also as a spouse of a settled person in August 2006. The solicitor who was dealing with the case charged £1200 one off payment and I also paid £335 to the home office for the application. The home office sent a reply in September that my application has been sent to a case worker who will be dealing with it. Last year my solicitor contacted the home office why they have not made a decision regarding my application. The home office replied that due to the large volume of similar applications, they have not been able to make a decision on my application, they also advise us not to contact them again as this may delay my application. In January this year, my solicitor wrote me that because it was sixteen months since they submitted my application and there has been no decision from the home office, I should send him £495 in order to write my local MP to get him involve in my case. Should I agree with this advise? The home office had already sent a letter last year that we should not contact them until we hear from them as this may delay my application. Can you please advise me . by Yemi

Hiya firstly i would just like to say i find the program ( when i get a chance to watch) very interesting. my question is this. How long should the home office take to make a decision on leave to remain in this country? My wife is off jamaican nationality and i am white british. We have been together for4yrs but married for 2yrs. I sent my wifes application (THROUGH A SOLICITOR) a year ago but have herad nothing since they wrote two weeks after stating the application was valid but they have necessary checks to make which is fair enough but i just dont understand how long it takes to find out if two people are genuinely together.

My Husband has been refused a settlement visa on the ground that they do not feel that our reltionship is real we have been together since August 2005 and married 2007 in Jamaica. Also that we had not sought permission for my husband to live in the property. We have text messages dating back to 2005 and also pictures from a wedding that we attended feb 2006. They also refused the visa n the grounds that the accomodation is over crowded . It is a three bedroom property and the tenancy agrement states that no more than 7 people to live within the property. My two daughters share a room and my two sons share a room. two of my children are under 10 years of age.\r\nI have a letter from the housing association given permission for my husband to live at the premission to live at my address his name added to the tenancy. I have approached a friend of the family regarding work for my husband and he is prpared to offer my husband a job on the strength of his previous work experience and qualifications.\r\nIf the visa ffice does not accept the additonal documentation what can we do. and how long does it take for an appeal to be heard once it has been lodge with the refusing office?\r\nThank you for your help by Pauline Lewis

I am a single parent with 3 children under 16. \r\n\r\nI applied for Indefinite Leave to Remain under the 14 years long residency rule (I came to the UK 17 years ago) almost 2 years ago. I am still awaiting decision. \r\n\r\nHowever my 3 children under 16 have been registered as British citizens by the Home Office.\r\n\r\nFollowing further letters and phone calls to the Home office re the delay in processing my claim, we received a letter from the Home Office advising us not to write or phone them again regarding my application until I receive a decision from them. \r\n\r\nI am a bit worried about this. Please advice.\r\n\r\nMoreso, my landlord is in the process of repossessing my home. The court order requires us to move out of the property by the end of this month. \r\nI have been looking for alternative accommodation but the prospective landlords wants a copy of my passport / immigration documents before they can consider me for the prospective properties available - I cannot provide the documents they want. I am scared of being homeless. \r\n\r\nAs a result I sought advice from the Citizens Advice Bureau and was advised that even though I have no recourse to public funds, the Social Service should be able to assist me for the sake of my children. They advised me to contact the Social Services but I am scared of contacting them in case doing so ends up having an adverse effect on my application at the Home office. Please advice me. \r\n\r\nThank you for your help.\r\n\r\nNeka by Neka

Hi there, My mum was granted live to remain on the basis of long stay after 14 years. During that time she had picked up a criminal record, which will be spent on the 10th of next month (after 10 yrs). when my lawyer put in application for the family anmesty on my behalf, it was refused because her criminal record wasn’t sent at the time. my question is, shouldn’t they have looked at this as an exception case since the convicted had already been granted stay with full knowledge of her record? Should we re-apply after her criminal record has been spent in less than a months time? thank in advance. by Henry

Sir/Madam,\r\ni am an Indian national holding an Indian Passport and i have been working as Consultant Anaesthetist in NHS (James Cook University Hospital, Middlesbrough) from 26/June/2006. I came to UK in July 1998 and i will be completing 10 years of stay in UK in July 2008. My wife who is an Indian national holding Indian Passport came to UK in Aug.2000. Our son was born in UK in Oct.2002 and holds an Indian Passport.\r\n\r\nLike many overseas doctors working in NHS, i had Permit Free Training (PFT) Visa to start with and then switched over to HSMP in Nov.2005 and now i am on Work Permit valid from Nov.2006 and expires in Nov.2011. \r\n\r\nFrom 10/Sept/2004 until 16/Sept/2005, i took my family to Ottawa, Canada where i trained in University of Ottawa. It was a continuous stay in Canada for 12 months and our home in UK was rented out to pay for the mortgage. This training in Canada was approved at the highest level by Royal College of Anaesthetists in London and my deanery in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. The deanery granted me unpaid leave for this one year period but continued my pension contributions during my absence.\r\n\r\nMy questions:\r\n\r\nAm i eligible to apply for ILR in July 2008 based on 10 years of stay in UK?\r\n\r\nHow will my stay in Canada for one year for study and training reasons affect my application for ILR?\r\n\r\nMy friends say that my applicaton may be rejected due to continuous absence from UK for 12 months - Is that the case?\r\n\r\nWhat are my true chances of getting ILR if i apply through immigration lawyers/solicitors? What are my chances if i go on my own accord? How early can i submit my application\r\n\r\nIf i am granted ILR, is it true that my son can apply for British Citizenship based on the fact that he was born in UK??\r\n\r\nAny help/advice will be much appreciated.\r\nThanks\r\nSincerely,\r\nLeo.M.Jeyaraj\r\n by Dr.Leo.M.Jeyaraj
