Want To Give Birth In U.k Axis: Need Help On Hospital

Well mon darlink I have missed you too boo

Applying and being granted a visa to the UK is not/and never been discretionary, because once you meet all the requirement and have not falsified anything, it has to be issued, it is as straightforward as that. The ECO's are infallible beings, so if they get it wrong, you have the right to appeal in most category. The appeal is done before the Immigration Judge on a point of law, and hence he can overturn the ECO's decision if the law was not correctly applied.

Moreoever, the discretionary ground is not only applicable to people whose parents don't have settled status, people applying under the HSMP, workpermit, unmarried partner, born to British father not married to the unsettled status mother btw 1983 and 2006, etc all have to apply under this ground too etc

And once again, a child that was born abroad to a non-British/non-settled parent can apply for citizenship in this country, so why not one that was born here. What are Solicitors and Barristers for, and I know some firms who likes taking on challenging roles like this. Some even work pro bono and it is now also possible to instruct a Barrister directly without going through a Solicitor  




To give you one example: Let the child visit once in 3 years if you can afford it, when he/she gets to a certain age, put his name down for a school, apply for a visa next time and state that you are taking the child to exercise his right under the Nationality Act, BINGO You have to explain the child's connection to the UK, where his/her future lies, and add as much compelling circumstances as you can.

And thats just an example, left to me, I don't have the patience for long thing,  I would march right up there, and just go for the jugular, and simply demand my daughter's right. If they refuse to give me, I would take it to the Tribunal myself  

And I agree it can be a tall order and it might be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle but it has been done before and besides you can always fall back on the anything goes HR Act like I mentioned earlier. You are the one wearing the shoe and the one who knows where it is hu
rting so if they tell you to write 25,000 essay wouldn't you jump right in




Of course you can do that if and only if you meet the requirements for those categories of visas, but then thats a case of "if wishes were horses innit . . . "




Well the OP already has a current visit visa to the UK hence the reason for Hauwa's penultimate post, and I might not be correct here but I think you can only be pregnant for so long, I think it was around the 9/10 months mark the last time I checked so I doubt she has time to apply for a US visa for now

ECO's have no right to exercise any discretion, all they are allowed to do is look at balance of probabilities.

If that was the only ground of refusal, all your Aunty's representative has to utter before the Judge is that the reason for refusal was based on an oversight from a third party. If the onus is not on the appellant to state the date of her graduation anywhere on the post study work extension form, or even if she stated it on the form, but the ECO went with the University's blank page instead, the Jugde would have no choice than to overturn that ECO'S decision

With regards to the acquisition of the citizenship status, I am glad what you said was "it is almost impossible . . ." which means it can be done And I know what I am talking about too Its just like those Nigerian customs telling you you are not allowed to carry fish or the DSS/DWP telling you that you cannot claim benefits as a fulltime student unless you are a lone parent

And as for you people bringing up suggestions that the OP should apply to the states, no be dem dey bounce visa applicants pass abi you wan make dem soil Lastpages pali with their rejection stamp Or do you want them to mistakenly stamp the refusal directly on her British visa


You people are bullies see as I am having to contemplate and ponder at least 10 times before plucking the gumption to use a smilie


@ My Dearest Darling Debo have I toned down its use or should I go back to the drawing board because my work is not yet done  

Shapey, l see that you asked after me! Thank you ma sister.
I am here and reading every line of response, sent-in by good people like you.
Some are scary, some are demoralizing, some are encouraging but in all, they are factual and that l appreciate.

I've never "begin to push" at all rather, l am in a stage where you want to eat bizarre things!
Imagine on a Sunday morning, l commissioned a nice "okro-soup" with crabs and crayfish, which l downed with hot Amala; even the baby inside me could not help but perform a few somersaults in appreciation!

Before l get carried away with the thought of that Sunday meal, l thank VOR, debosky, pataki, including all that responded and most of all "big-bumper" (u posted the most!).
I wish l can get a current "invoice" like the one from Mayday on the previous page. Would really appreciate that.

Concerning those suggesting that l invest the money for my baby and give birth in Nigeria, l know you all mean well but, "E NO REACH"!
I am working, l will keep working and earning in the foreseeable future so l still have time to save another five-ten million naira for my child, if need be (assuming naira does not continue to loose value as its been doing in the last one month) but for now, my immediate priority is not to lodge cash for my baby in some bank/scheme that may end-up, ******* ala Madoff-style!

From responses so far, its a long shot that is worth trying. No pain, no gain, if it works out, its worth the trouble, if it does not, nothing spoil, life continues, other options will show-face as time goes-by.

I have learned a lot is a very short time, thanks to the experience of everyone that contributed. I am still 'double-minded', but highly motivated.
I'm keeping my ear to the ground more.

Still thanking all that contributed to my Post.
I appreciate all of ya and when my Baby is born (God willing), l will invite una to come celebrate with me. No Rice, only Pounded Yam with Efoo-riro, with lots of "iruu".
Once again, l appreciate all of you so much and Go bless you  all.

she asked for advice, she got advice
and talking about dubious

@gee9
Hmmm, Nigerians are a peculiar people and thats one of the reasons, no matter what others think, "if l come back" seven times, l will always want to be a Nigerian (maybe one with dual nationality! but hey, its only our current situation at home thats causing all these running around, things can change for the better!!)

Imagine that "a people can be so nice and friendly" as to offer an "internet stranger" so much useful suggestions and help! All of you are "blessed".
And you gee9, just remain yourself, remain "who you are", its very uncommon to find someone with such a large heart.  You've taken your own kindness to the "NEXT LEVEL" 

Thanks for the offer. I hope l wouldn't need it but IF I DO, l would take you up on it and l hope it would not have "lapsed" by then?
How do l "P.M" someone like you?
I assume you wouldn't say what you can 'do for me', "on air" though it might not be fair on the other people that have been a part of this discussion so far    , am sure they would want it laid bare but its not my decision, its yours, to make,

About the "dubious aspect", l can not fault you on that, (Eniyan buruku ti ba'yan rere je: Bad people ave given the good ones a bad name).
Your 'worry' actually made me sit back and ask myself that same question: Am l dubious?
I answered myself with a honest "NO, l am not dubious", not even in my nature. 
You know one cant lie to one's self.
Thats the best l can say.
