Hello everyone, i would like to know if it is possible for me to regulate my status in the uk, i'm an overstayer about a year and half? I dont work any more which is quite tough, my question is if it is possible to change my status and if so? How do i go about it? Thanks

No way out.
Either remain there or just buy ticket and return to your home country

I have read the thread and seen overstayers saying they got a visa,they must be a way out

If you want anyone to give you more advice, you will have to explain your situation fully.

What category of visa did you hold before your overstay?

Are you married?

Do you have children in the UK?

How long have to been living with the mother of your children?

What nationality does your partner hold?

What nationality does your partner hold?

And also the nationalities of your children. And where were they born (in the UK or outside the UK)?

Have you worked in the UK while you were not legally allowed to?

A detailed (month/year) timeline of arrival, visa issual, renewal and expiry, formation of partnership and birth of children would help us advise you further.

I have been living with her for 2yrs.6 months now, we moved few months after she got pregnant, shes from bolton, she is british.
Like i said earlier on i dropped out of university and carried on working,i never recieved any letter of curtailment until last july from capita, but i carried on working until my visa expired last september, then i stopped working and was caring for my son as my partner had to resume work from her maternity leave n holidays from work..

You can try a FLR(FP) PARTNER route application, although there's no guarantee that it will be approved.

Thanks for your reply, so you saying its a 50/50 chance? And do you have an idea how long such application might take? Thanks i really appreciate your response

Probably less than a 50/50 chance unless you can submit compelling evidence that you would be unable to continue your family life together outside of the UK. Bear in mind that your children are very young and could re-settle easily in another country.

You will also need documented proof that you have been living together in a relationship 'akin to marriage' for a minimum of 2 years.

As you aren't married you may well have to provide a DNA test to prove you are the children's father. (I'm assuming that your partner wasn't married to anyone else when either of them were born)?

The time spent in the UK working illegally may go against you.

A complex application such as this can take from several months to year or more to decide.

Thanks very much, we have documents showing we have been living for 2years and more, she also has a kidney problem from birth which is seriously monitored by her gp, so that can used as to why we cant move to my home country, i can also get the dna done as soon as possible , she hasnt been married to anyone at all or got kids for anyone apart from myself , i looked up the flr fp it says it takes 6 months for a decision to made but with the fact that my own case seems quite complex then i should expect longer time for my decision to come through .. thanks very much

I suggest that you also submit strong evidence of the part you play in your children's lives...nursery/playschool, GP visits etc.

How are you supporting yourselves financially?

Yeaah spoke to his nusery for a letter, and the lady(manager) said that was no problem, i use to drop him off most mornings anyways and pick him up most evenings, she said she would write me a letter claiming my responsibility in his nusery life, things have been quite hard , living off her maternity pay , and luckily the house is for her dad so he understands , do you think the preminum service would be a good option?? Or not as my case is complex ? Thanks

[Casa]

It's not advisable to apply through the premium service as the official guidance states that this is not for complex cases. You won't get a decision on the day and at best (if not refused) the application will join the postal queue and will be charged at the premium fee.

The junior level Case Workers at the PSC simply don't have the authority to process a complex application.

Hello casa, its been a while and hope you good, i would like to inform you that i just recieved my biometric letter but also got a strange letter along side with it, "Your application raises issues relating to the European Convention on Human Rights which are complex in nature. As such, it falls outside our normal service standards for deciding leave to remain applications. Please be assured that we will make a decision on your case as quickly as possible" please do you have an idea why that got sent and what it really means? I would be going straight to the post office to sort out my biometric.. thanks for your time

It's a standard letter sent to the majority of those applying under FLR(FP). It's preparing you for a long wait before you get a decision.

Oh okay, so you saying its definitely going to go past the 6 months duration? A year maybe?

It may not, but I would be surprised if it didn't.

Thanks for the reply, just a quick one, did i recieve the other letter (ECHR) because i have over stayed? Or everyone who applies underneath the flr fp gets the same letter? Overstayer or not? Thanks

[Casa]

I believe the template letter is not only sent to overstayers applying for FLR(FP).
