Good morning guys.

Thank u very much 4 ur advice n consolation, and most of all the humour @ mummytwo . I can definitely tell u that the case worker was high on something, on the refusal letter he states that we should go back and live in India, also continues to repeat that our relationship can continue in India( We r not from India). God is in control and all will b well. The worst part will b the 2 weeks waiting 4 the solicitor to come back. The enforcement unit gave my partner Options of which to choose to take.@Indie007 and @ why lie Can l please ask how much JR cost? N what is the process?

@ Ma logo...I think the home office is surely high on something....I sympathize with your case... UKBA told my employer that I was not allowed to work and I only found out yesterday from my MP it is because they say they received my application a day after my previous visa expired. Yet I posted my application a day before my visa expired and according to their rules (which I have forwarded to my MP) date of application is the day you post the application and if this is not clear on the envelop then the caseworker has to count backwards several days. So now I have accumulated debt for nothing...but my MP has taken it up with them so hopefully should go back to work soon....but thats home office for you...

I already sent two letters to ukba I am really tempted to ask my solicitor to send another. But I know the get angry when people send letters and call.

Whatever happens, I urge all of you to be positive. With the H.O do not expect, do not plan, just wait. They are playing with people's emotion. If you put too much trust in them, you will be deceived. H.O will always do their best to make us unhappy. So the last thing you want, is to attach your emotion on what you expect from them. They have the resources (including our fees) to make us suffer. Please be prepared for the torture, even when you are granted 2.5 years, as you will have to come back to them later. They don't change. For them it is cultural and institutional to do what they are doing.

[shareen24h]

Hi shareen24h its shocking people reufsed but stay positive, my solicitor told me if both parents are illegal or overstayer and been here long and child born or lived in uk 7 or more years, they have more chance than british child and partner, home office think child can stay with their one parents, they don't care about other parents but in both parents illegal or overstayer case how comes child lived their own is one, lets hope for good, he told me if you applied after 9th of july and your child 7 or more years lived in uk and your in the immigration rules, should be granted. Could you share your story ? how long you been in uk? God bless

Hi Shondra Sharma

Thanks again for your positive attitude. I came in 2004 as a student and my child join me at his age 4 and half. now he is 12. living here more then 7 yrs.
Overstayed from 2009. My concern is though we have no valid status, the only thing child 7 yrs duration here. But HO r not bothering childrens who`s parent have no status.They are not interested those family and minor to stay here, . I don`t know what will happen. Did u made any query after ur application. I haven`t. Take care hope see u again.

me too verbina, this place is my drug, feels good when people are in similar situation and they understand you. its just an unpleasant experience to share with your friends who have a normal life and talk about thir future plans, holidays, jobs and i have none of this. Just feel different.
for some reasons in summer seems harder, never thought i will stay 10 years in this limbo. sometimes i ask my self if was it worth and what im i teaching my children from all this?

[egoneo]

They just full of pure crap I HATE that organisation so much

i feel your pain, booked a trip to Greece early autumn last year for this summer but had to cancel it because dont have my passport. only lost my deposit but still gutted at that. The UKBA are incredibly inconsiderate of peoples' situations seeing as they can take up to a year to reach a decision.

I mean can they just imagine what it would be like to stay at home, not doing anything just waiting for the postman, you cant work, you cant travel, you cant study, theres no transparency on your case so you dont know what the hell is going on. On top of this you might have a family you need to support

Yep I just put on a brave face for my friends and say that im really sorting my ***t out this time and sooner or later I will be able to go on holidays with them and be normal too!!!
My British daughter is not impressed with me for not trying to regularise my status ages ago.... she is 12 now, I hope she ll understand why I took so long to take the plunge when she is older.... But now she is pretty resentful coz of that

Decision waiting !

Spoke to HO abt 10 mins ago and first answer i got was "waiting for a decision to be taken"...again rang them for the second time, this time the answer was "file is with the case working unit " and I need to wait patiently .. Which one is right ? It's frustrating.... after a long wait of 9 months I get this answer from HO

I suppose both of them sound about right... Case working unit is still deciding, so just wait patiently a little longer and hopefully you ll hear good news very soon!!!!

[Shondra Sharma]

Hi Shareen24h thanks for you kind response. Think positive, this 7 year child rules is for illegal or overstayer who have a children lived 7 or more years. We know we don't have a vaild leave otherwise not a problem why we living in a limbo, this is not the question you don't have a leave and you can't grant under 7 year child rules, this rules for them. So we applied under the immigration rules paid home office fees, so I say why not we granted, unless you have criminal conviction. So don't worry we will be granted, god bless. Don't compare with one british parents and british children, our case is different, our child can't stay alone, need their parents how comes they remove child which they falls under the immigration rules. God bless

hi, don't be too panicky, just remain calm and stay positive. regarding the JR, the cost will differ from barrister to barrister , the cheapest i got was just under £2000.
first of all, u need to write a (PAP) pre action protocol letter ( like a form of reconsideration letter) asking them to review your case and reconsider. This letter can sometimes do the trick and your case might be reconsidered.
If the PAP doesn't do the trick then u can proceed with the JR. when u lodge the JR u may be given the right to appeal or the home office solicitors will just back down and ask u to withdraw the JR and issue u with the visa if you have a very strong case .
I suggest you seek proper legal advise. Good luck.

I would go with call one, because obviously its not finish yet they still gona say with consideration unit. I reckon your case is with a caseworker. But they won't tell you that.. Its like this morning I rang and I gave the guy my detail and he look on the system and then he said he gona put me on hold to check if anything as been sent out to me. So I reckon any day now I will hear some form of news.
