Hello there,
It seems that your case started to have some consideration because the letter came to you from the ministerial correspondence team UKIS Regional HQ in Manchester.
Did this letter come to you after an intervention of your MP?
I think this might be the case
I would reassure you that you are in a strong position only with the support of your two children.
If the state takes a child from his drug abuser mother for adoption; would it deport a legal father for immigration issue that can be solved outside the rules? I doubt it.
Harming you is a crime in the child's right; especially this immigration issue is under the civil laws, not the criminal laws.
As I told you before, please keep involving your MP and please tell him that I got this letter despite the evidence provided and your request. They are ignoring your rights to ask the minister of these employees. Could you please write to them again?
I suggest you and your wife submit a sworn affidavit by both of you together with attested copies of birth certificate of your children (even if you submitted them before) through your MP, asking him to press harder on them.
The point that you would try to make here is that you are the legal father of 2 British children who unfortunately has an immigration issue but not a criminal. I am just wondering how these IOs think? Did these children come from the sky? I believe we are not in the time of The Holly Ghost
The point you would try to avoid is some IO who might suddenly decide to be unsatisfied.
The secretary of the state has to respond to your MP. You need to avoid the unexpected response from whatever; saying that the candidate did not respond satisfactorily or other invented reasons. There are a lot of them.
Therefore, your only route is your MP. If we would like to achieve a victory there should be no let ups.
Here is the suggested affidavit.
