Marriage to a British Citizen doesn't give you the legal status to apply for a spouse visa under the UKBA regulations from within the UK. If you have children together you may be able to apply for Discretionary Leave (DL).
Did your solicitor explain the option of returning to your own country and applying from there? Without knowing the full facts, it would be impossible to advise whether a review would be worthwhile.

i applied for DL and we had a misscarriage recently but dont have any kids
and laywer said that he is going to make an application in some european court and a review of this case

hi i was in the same stituation as you, we did judicial review and i was not lucky, i had to go back to my country. what i can tell you is try to fight within although you have to spend.

how can i fight within , what options do i have
one of my friend suggested to challenge the decision in the court instead of asking for review , does this make any sense

Go for review within UK as advised by your lawyer.

my lawyer has filed the review application , but its not a judicial review he asked for , i sent some supporting letters as well for the questions they raised , hope all go good.
and i will come back with the response i get from home office
thanx for ur help guys

Going through the courts is going to be a very lengthy process. Also, you mentioned something about your solicitor applying to the European Court. Firstly, to do this, you need to exhaust all the courts in the UK and then from the Supreme Court it would be appealed to the European Court. This can take many years.

I think your best option would be to return home and apply for the spouse visa from Pakistan. They cannot refuse you if all you did was overstay your visa. However, if you have had any criminal dealings, you might be better to stay in the country and fight it, but be prepared that it will take a long time.
