Q:

Hi I was given a limited leave to remian valid upto 2011 based on awork permit in 2006. I have since moved on and worked for another company for 2 years during which I did not renew my leave to remain, instead my employer renewed the work permit/employment document 3 times. The company has now been taken over and adviced me to make a tier 2 application. what is my legal standing, as ive stopped working and the company state I have no valid leave to remain, and have worked illegally over the last 1.5 years. what is my legal standing and my current imigration status? I am a pharmacist by profession. by mohamed

A:

If you have been working without valid leave for over 1.5 years and you have not made any applications to the Home Office you will not be able succeed in an application under the teir system as this requires you to have legal leave to remain in the UK. You will need to return to your Country of origin.However because you have overstayed more than 28 days you will be banned from submitting any further work type applications for at least a period of one year.

Q:

i am overstayer married to british with two kids and another one on the way.i applied for a spousal visa at the home office about a year ago but have not had any decisions but listening to your programes it may take up to 4yrs or more to get a decision from the home office but due to financial difficulties i cant wait that long s o i would like to know if it is adviceable to go to my home country ghana and make the application from there. how long does it take,do i have to take my children with me or leave them here?will my application be affected if my husband recieves tax credits? hoping to hear from you soon.thank you. by mrs cogger

A:

First of all it is possible for you to return to your country of origin and make an application. the length of time it takes depends the backlogs at the British High Commission but we usually advise that it can be between 3-6 months. also you will need to take into account that if the application is refused then you will have to appeal and this can take upto a further 6 months before the process is completed. with regrads to whether the application will be affected with the tax creditts, it is a very grey area but it will be taken into account by the Entry Clearance Officer. another option for you maybe to also make an application to the Home Office asking for permission to work.

Q:

my husband has been in this country for more than 5 years, he has indefinite leave, he wants to apply for a British passport, what is the procedure? Does he need to do 'life in the UK' test? by shelina

A:

The main requirements for applying for Naturalisation is that the person has had five legal years in the UK and at least one of these years has been in the form of Indefinite Leave to remain. this is diffferent if he obtained his leave as a spouse. in such a case he will require 3 years of legal stay in the UK and 1 of those years has to been in the form of Indefinite leave to remain. if he can meet this then he need to fill out the Naturalisation form and send it to the Home Office. the is a limit to the number of days that he has been out of the UK. if you have any problems please do not hesitate to contact Davy Bal Solicitors who can assist you with this matter.

Q:

my egyptian husband as been refused a visitor visa and we want to appeal but we need help by lesley fairhurst

A:

when an Entry Clearance application has been refused it can be appealed within 28days of recieving the refusal. A reason for refusal in this case will have been that they do not believe that he will return after a short visit because his wife will be in the UK. it will be difficult to overcome this and show that there is an intention to return. you will need to provide strong evidence. if you require any further assistance with this matter please contact Davy Bal Solicitors on 0870 499 0471 who will be happy to help.

Q:

I will been in the UK 14 years this Aug 09 lawfully and unlawfully. I came here as a student in 95, had student visa extensions till 2000, was unlawful till 2005, been on discretionary leave for 4 yrs, was never issued a deportation order, got married in 2002 to a British lady, still married. To sum up was lawful for about 9 years, unlawful 4 years, ca I apply for 14 yr concession this July? What do I need to support this application? I am a qualified accountant working lawfully with my own mortgage, no state support and no children. Thanks by TJ

A:

If you have been in the UK lawfully or unlawfully for 14 years and have never had an enforcement notice issued against you then you would be eligible to apply under the 14 year long residence rule. You will need to provide the Home Office with documentary evidence that you have been in the UK for that period of time. also you will need to show that you can maintain and accommodate yourself. I would advise you to get a representative to submit your application so that they can explain your circumstances to the Home Office.

My ex is working as a freelance interpreter. I pay the mortgage, all the bills and give her £65 a week for my daughter. I am now having to live with my 83 yr old Dad and 78 yr old Mum. I have asked her to move out she says she is staying for the next 20 years in the house and I have to pay. by John Nester

Q:

My daughter (south african) aged 21 arrived in the UK in December 2002 as a dependant of her fathers (my husband) work permit status. She married a british citizen in December 2006 - when is she eligible to apply for indefinate leave to remain (after the life in the uk test and then onto citizenship) thanks colleen venter by Colleen Venter

A:

this will depend on whether she changed her status to that of a spouse. If she did not then she can apply after 5 years of being here as a dependant of a work permit holder in line with her father. If she did change her status to that of a spouse then she will have to wait 2 years from the time that she was granted her stay as a spouse before she can apply for indefinite leave to remain.

Q:

I have ILTR and my partner does not have any status,we have 3 children between 2003and 2007 what to do about her status bcos iwant to marry her by Laela

A:

Due to the fact that she does not have any status in the UK the Home Office will not grant her permission to get married in the UK. However you can get married in her home country and then she can make an Entry Clearance application to join you in the UK as your spouse

Q:

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

A:

We would always advise that you should actively pursue the Home Office for a decision. However if you had agreed a fixed fee with your solicitor to complete the matter for you then it would seem unreasonable for them to chargr more fee's You should discuss the matter with them. Also you can personally contact your MP without your solicitor getting involved.

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 wife gets so worked up about being sat at home when she hasnt got an illness but cannot work because she hasnt got a nationaly insurance number (Lately the doctors have diagnosed her suffering from depression and shes also had several miscarriages ) because ive got a child from a previous relationship and she just constantly worry about every thing.. P lease tell me how to help my wife thank you by Samd

A:

Unfortunatley the Home Office have a large backlog so they do take a long time in making a decision. we would ask you to pursue the Home Office for a response and we would also advise you supply the evidence of your wifes illness to show the effect the stress of the stituation is having on her to try and speed things up.

I’m not an expert on immigration but think the 5 year route is likely to be the best one

You are probably in the clear now by sending in the missing documents. These things take a long time and they may ask for more documents etc if they do comply with their requests.

Q:

i am a white British born citizen.\r\ni have a 20 yr old male friend in Ghana; he is Ghanaian; who wants to emigrate to the uk to live with me and possibly enter into a civil partnership. he also wants to work and get further education here.\r\ni have my own home and can support him until such time as he finds work.\r\nhow does he go about getting all the necessary permissions to do this, and what forms will he need?\r\nmany thanks\r\njohn. by john bevan

A:

A : I’m not an immigration expert but believe he should make an application in his country for a visa citing you as his guarantor. If you break any of the terms of the guarantee you could be in serious difficulty

Q:

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

A:

I’m afraid the Home office are very slow but time is on your side and having dependant children will secure your stay here. Don’t hesitate about going to Social Services for help with your housing but in the meantime you shouldn’t leave your present home unless and until there is a court order requiring you to do so, if you get a possession order against you you can always go back to the court which made it, explain your problem and you should get further time.

Q:

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

A:

Yes, reapply in a months time and this time make sure the record is enclosed.

Q:

my husband's visa got refused, we have sent an apeal from uk. they said they will review my case. i wanted to ask that what is the munium and the maxium time they will take for there decision? by zara

During this time the Entry Clearance Manager will usually review the decison and it could be overturned if felt he does meet the requirements of the Immigration Rules

Q:

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

A:

You will not be entitled to apply for ILR on the basis of long residency in 2008 because you were absent from the UK for over a 6 month period. You can apply for ILR when you have completed 5 continuous years as a work permit holder.

You would not be entitled to do so under the Immigration Rules so it would be at the discretion of the Secretary of State. Otherwise the only option available would be to make an Entry Clearance application.

People’s Court:

Legal TV is airing a unique and controversial new series following people as they go in and come out of courtroom.

It is still illegal in the UK to film inside a court, but Legal TV is doing next best thing- filming people before and after their court case (assuming that is they do leave court through the front door…). As well as catching their initial anxiety before they go into the courtroom, the show speaks with them as they leave and share their experiences and thoughts on the outcome and possible sentence.
