Suave64: Would like to know if the 5yr ban is still in effect for those who voluntary left, but had their tickets bought for them and how will they know when their ban will be over. Would one be given any trouble if they try to enter the united Kingdom again? You start counting the 5yrs from the yr you returned home, if your ticket were bought by the Govt then that will be an issue hence the 5yrs ban. |

Hi, I overstayed in the uk for almost 4 years.. I'm planning to go home in my own expense. My question is i have loads of gadgets iPhone, iPad, Nokia phone and a laptop.. Would it be a problem upon entering the security control. I'm worried they will confiscate it knowing that i am an over stayer. What is the best thing to do? Any idea or help is highly appreciated. Thank you very much. |

Put your gadgets in your hand luggage and hold the receipts (very important)it may get nicked in Nigeria airport if you put it in your check-in luggage. |

hi, just want to ask: i booked a flight and called directly cathay pacific.. i used my debit card upon booking, is it true that they will still check the debit card? what for? i already paid for it.. i was just wondering why! what if they will say the payment didn't appear here. You know what i did, i prepared a statement from the bank where the payment has been deducted there. I just want to be sure, because i read some instances that even they paid the ticket already they encountered problems in the airline. They paid cash on the spot. So horrible!!! I'm just wondering as well, my itinerary has 9 pages, is it most likely like this? need an idea please... thanks!!! |

Hello, I would like some information. I currently live in UK and my bf is in Pakistan. Last year he submitted a student visa for UK however the embassy rejected him and mentioned that he had submitted one wrong document. They have also given him a ban for 10 years. He requested them to review his application and clear the error but they did not accept it. Now I just want to know that if we get married soon is it possible that he can again apply for UK and get the visa? Thanking you in advance |

noshee123: Hello, That is possible, if you met all the requirements and he did not withhold any info about his previous immigration records. |

noshee123: Thanks for your quick response. Yes that is good to hear. What are the visa requirements? and visa procedures? Also how many ilets bans are required? Thanks in advance To apply for spouse visa you need to show that you are earning at least £18,000 a year to be able to bring your spouse to the UK. He will not be able to get any other type of visa apart from spouse because of the 10yrs ban.

Oh my god this is not good for me as I have just completed my studies and am currently searching for a job I don't think I will be able to get a job of £18,000 probably get less if I do get a job. My dad and brother are both earning so if my dad and brother was to support me and send a letter to validate this will it be possible then? I hope you understand my situation. Thanks in advance |

Now what I do Thank you India You are held responsible for whatever is written on your application documents. If you claim agent did fraud / mistake it is still you that is responsible and banned for ten years. UKBA will not accept that agent acted without your consent so no point in appeal or review. With refusal from Denmark and BANN from UK you now have very poor chance of entry into any country. You should now plan a life at home. 1 Like |

Hello @just wise et.al, What are the chances of someone with a 10 year ban,married to a another person in the UK on a student(tier-4), work permit or permanent residence visa.......Is the ban 'cancellable, under any these visa categories? |
Re: 10 Years Ban For Overstaying In The UK. And Migrants Coming To The UK. by justwise(m): 5:57pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
krebbs: Hello @just wise et.al, If you are married to a British citizen or somebody with permanent resident paper and you applied for spouse visa you stand a chance(if you met all requirements). Student visa and work permit holder doesn't count. |

My boyfriend has overstayed in the UK by a few years. He was once caught as he used a fake ID to travel back to Naija, detained and then sent back. He managed to make his way back in. Am seriously worried after looking at the UKBA spousal visa application site that his overstay and prior deportation means he's ineligible. Also looking through this thread worried as he has made two prior applications for stay - which we're yet to hear anything on. As we're in love and getting impatient at him not being able to legally work or travel want to get married. I meet the other requirements in terms of being a Brit citizen, earn above the threshold etc. This issue of his prior deportation/applications - under different names - is something which I would poss seek to not disclose in our application but it seems that they now do biometric visas for spouses who are granted stays. Worried that this is where he could be caught out as when your deported they usually take your fingerprints and picture. His one saving grace is that he went voluntarily and paid for his ticket home. Any guidance on what where we could stand in regards to this would be much appreciated. Is the biometric issue as big a deal as I think it could be? Would think they have a database that they double-check peoples data against? If it is an issue does anyone know if our application could still be successful? If it could still be successful should he be totally honest with every single application he's done in the past? Or will they find him out? Sorry for all the qs but something thought might not be too complicated seems like it could be and getting seriously freaked out! |

justwise: Has his fingerprint ever been taken by immigration or the police before? Did he disclose his previous immigration offenses in the application form? He says that when he was detained they took his fingerprints. Which stopped him from picking up a work visa he'd gotten in Nigeria the whole reason why he went in the first place on fake ID ffs!!...so worried same issue might crop up again. We have not yet gotten married so not yet applied for the spousal visa so not mentioned prior applications. In his other two applications he certainly did not mention them. |
Re: 10 Years Ban For Overstaying In The UK. And Migrants Coming To The UK. by justwise(m): 11:15pm On Mar 27, 2013 |
negrakitty:Its not looking good for him, his previous immigration profile will always crop up anytime he applies for any sort of visa, he can't hide that. If you finally got married and want to apply for spouse visa he will be better off doing that from Nigeria and be completely honest with his past immigration offences, there is no point hiding it when the embassy can easily find out anyway. Applying for any sort of visa from the UK doesn't make any sense considering his status and past record, the UKBA will frustrate him with refusals and decision delay. The only slim hope he has is through spouse visa but he has to come out clean. |

Can I check tho re: your advice he apply from Nigeria - why would that be better than from here? Because they'll know he sneaked back in? Also why isn't our case stronger through applying here - where we can better demonstrate we've built a life together in the UK? |
Re: 10 Years Ban For Overstaying In The UK. And Migrants Coming To The UK. by justwise(m): 10:40am On Mar 28, 2013 |
negrakitty:He does not have a strong case applying from the UK as he is living illegally to start with, yes you can get married to him as that is your human right as British citizen but the marriage certificate will not get him a stay because of his status before the marriage. Not that applying from Nigeria will be a walk in the park..no, his previous offences will still show up but at the end spouse visa over-rides previous offences if no vital info is withheld by the applicant. |
