@brownbonno
 u might not agree wiv the naija option but in my OPINION thats the only option he really has.

@nouble

''ceasyc, you should have read my statement verywell, you are asking most of question allready answered.''
 
ok i shud have n i c your point now
since u dont have probs wit olakpa n immigi then
of course u can change your name 2 avoid dat,na long thing
u seem to have everything planned out well even little but important
details like call cards


the COE knows wot ppl r up to because d home office has informed dem cos a lot of ppl have been abusing it
so its hard 4 a new/non member 2 get married there these days
and i heard dat even if u do get married there u may have 2 go home to apply 4 your stay (as an illegal)

most of d info u need have already been discussed on immigration wit reham
which u claim u watch religiously

good luck man

@nouble

personally, i will not advice you to go through the naija option. i guess since your pali has long expired, you will need a travelling certificate from uk to naija.

Now, confirmed gist reaching me is that most people travelling with TCs are now have their thumb prints collected at the point of 'exist'.ie. at the airports.

 i guess you are also fully aware now that any application for any type of visa to UK will require the applicant's thumbprint. now, assumming the 'run' the thumbprints and discover that its the same thumbprints but two different identities???

 I read in the news recently of the British High Commissioner boasting of how the new biometric thing has discovered many fraudulent people including people that had previously overstayed and those that had been deported.

so i will advice you weigh your options well.


@tos
you keep on stressing on the fact that you have degrees and a fat account. what the ECOs will think is that if things are soo rosy for rosy for you like you like them to believe, why cant your wife and kids relocate to naija rather than living off the government through tax benefits, income support and housing benefits.

those things are not your wife's 'right' as she claims. they are only priveledges. so bringing in an extra 'mouth' to stay with her does not look too good.

i have a first cousin that applied for settlement visa two years ago. his case is quite similar to yours just that in this case, it was the wife that had a lovely job in uk (she was not claiming any benefit), and the guy had nothing in naija - just his first degree, no job, no money at the age of 34. His application was refused but he later appealed and about one year later, the appeal was granted and he joined his wife in uk.

i can only advice you to fast and pray, and ask for God's divine favour on the day of the interview.

[NOUBLE]

funkybabe, thanks for the advice but seems to be having problems understanding what your advice is. do you suggests i get married here? and if so, i do i go about it. i have paid 8 diffrent lawyers on this case for legal advice and got 8 diffrent advice. that leave me confused. although my visa has expired but my pasport is not and as you mentioned b4 its only people with TC that they fingerprint not with passport. hopefully i will be lucky this time to go without being caught. i am absolutely tired of staying here illegal. need to do something in another 8weeks. please advise.

[funkybaby]

@nouble
From what i know, you cannot apply for your stay or whatever while you are in the UK. You will be asked to come back to your home courntry to make the application. (i stand to be corrected though).

If you can get yourself back in naija without being thumbprinted, then good for you. that is one hurdle crossed. but if not, maybe you should consider the uk option.

now, assuming you are now in naija and you want to submit the application, you will be asked to bring supporting documents about yourself. these include your bank statements, source of income, where you work, etc. have you thought about this? if yes, have you begun ''arranging'' them?

it was a smart move that your girl came down to naija so you two can claim that you met in naija. if you have the right supporting documents and you package your application well, you stand a very good chance in naija.

[NOUBLE]

thanks, there are regular email communication bettween me and ma gal, also,there is also a regular fone call from her landline to a mobile fone in naija ,ass are proves of communication. i also have a well running bank account in 9ja. talking about the jobs and stuff, that will be taking care off wen i get back. i also can get a letter confirming a job offer from a reputable company , would that be of any help? hope too much readiness will not cos suspect? advice please

[funkybaby]

@nouble

excellent. then your major headache is escaping UK without being thumbprinted.

I know two guys that were in similiar situation last year. They left UK for Ireland and it was from there they boarded their flight to naija. I really do not know how this route thing works but you could ask from boys in UK.

if you can scale through and get to naija, i have a contact at MMA that can help you cos dont think the naija folks at the airport will take things easy with you either. their eye don strong well well now. did you hear that they changed Departure and Arrival Stamps some few months back?

too much readiness ke?? no document is too much to give those BHC people oh ! just try and arrange letters from any company that you are a staff with them and all that. arrange pay slips as well.

i feel for you sha. staying illegal in any courntry aint a nice feeling. but count yourself lucky that your polish babe that is helping you out.

[brownbonno]

@nouble

Yes,most UK solicitors are not yet in tune with EU free movement directive.But that is an excuse to put through the regular immigration rules instead of the EU Directive rules.
Remember,you past immigration history must not hinder your rights an EU family member except those that are fraudulent and risk to the society.

@ funkybaby,

Those requirement you listed are only applicable to the UK immigration and not the EU Directives.
Technically,you are only required to provide an ID(Passport) and proof of relationship with an EU citizen.

[NOUBLE]

@funkybabe
thank you for the advice, i really appreciate that. i have had many legal advice as i mentioned but they all contradict. don't really have too much to stay long in Nigeria but would prefer the better chance. its just too obvious that i am not willing to continue my illegal stay here but don't really know a way of getting married here and don't know what the chances are. i cant just go to the CEO and tell them i want to get married without knowing a single doctrine about the chrch. you guys should pray 4 me ooo as thats the only hope now.

[tos]

Hi guys - Just to let you know that my settlement visa was granted yesterday after an intensive interview at the BHC in Lagos.  I'll be happy to share my experience if it so desired.   

[NOUBLE]

HAPPY FOR YOU M8. TIWA NAA ADEOO. WAS IT HARD AND HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE. COULD YOU MAIL ME AS SOON AS YOU GET IN SO WE CAN HAVE A VERBAL CONVERSATION SO AS TO TELL ME ON WHAT I SHOULD BE EXPECTING ON THE INTERVIEW. famoussacred@yahoo.com

[sparkle]

TOS - congratulations.  I told you with God anything is possible

Well done

[brownbonno]

Tos,congratulations.

[oga adimma]

First I must say that what ever I write here must not be taken as imigrtn advise as Im not authorised .
Having said that, I must share the experience I had and that of others including conclusions taht can be reached if u examine the rules.
If your Wife is on benefit, and u apply, That violates the public funds part of the rule.
2, if your wife stops work, she cant cope with child care, I know that because, child care costs too much and she must be eraning £16k to be reasonably expected to afford to support an application.
The job she got may be a locum with an agency, well, she needs a perm job and payslips for at least 3 to six months.
If I were you, I wld withdraw of suspend the application till u meet the cirtaria, as u have visa, visit her and help her look after the kid for six months and come and apply, when you have appointment, arrive Naija 3 days to interview. let her also take a holiday and come with u& Baby or you come with Baby alone.\
Then, u have a cast iron case.

Grace+rightousness = good succeess.

[oga adimma]

just read the sucess of your application, congrats, that was a close shave.
The fact u had 4k must have swung your case as your family will not be entitled to any except child ben .
Welcome to the real world.

I need Help big time,  Pleease assist me if you can.

I have ILR and was married to a Ghananian in 2005. We have never lived together as husband and wife. I felt like he used me and so I refused to go any further. He refused to give me the marriage certificate once he entered the counrty and hid all his paperwork from me. I had been bugging for an annulment since and he just kept saying he will deal with it. Then he disappeared and would not take my calls. I had to write to the HO to let them know I was not with him anymore.

In the end he sent me a divorce affidavit saying we were divirced. My "Dads" signature was on this document of course it was fake. I gave it to my solicitor and asked the man not to use it for anything but to just take details from it as I had NO marriage certificate etc. My solicitor sent the Divorce affidavit to the court at the strand and they declined saying that it was not recognised. I had paid my solicitor 450 GBP and was to pay a further 150 GBP. He now says he can get me an annulment for a further 300 GBP, but I am not sure, it may go the way the 1st one went?? I dont want to be throwing my money down the drain, 

I met a lovely Naija man in between my sarga with the Ghananian 2 yrs ago. Myself and my partner have been together 2 years and have a 2 month old baby. My partner told me from the start that he wanted to marry me, but could not propose as I told him I was trying to get rid of the pesky Ghananian. Now the HO have asked the Ghananian to GO back home as his 2 yr ILR is up, but he does not want to leave. He is fighting it.

In the meantime my hunny's lousy solicitor gave him bad advice - that he should apply for stay under humanitarian grounds and convinced him to alter his details which was totally DUMP as they already had his picture, and passport - which YEP they linked and asked him to get out ASAP. He has packed and is ready to leave. I am on maternity leave as baby is only 2 months and on HB and getting all them bnefits till i return to work. What are my hunny's chances? Can we ever get the spousal visa? I figured he should come clean and own up at the interview when he gets one just to close the can of worms. We just want to be a family - the sooner the better,  My family really love him, as he is a nice God fearing and hardworking individual. He is a far cry from the Ghananian conman I married. 

CAN ANYONE HELP ME???

Many thanks,

[brownbonno]

Beenee,

Where is your new Naija man living at the moment?Have you being living together for the last years?Have you got your divorce Nisi or absolute certificate ?Can you proof your Ghanaian man absconded from your matrimonial home for a minimum of 2 years ?
Answers to the above question will led to a meaningful advise.

[Beenee]

We are living together but nothing to prove this as he cancelled everything in his name this time last year. He was terrified that they will deport him without seeing his daughter born, so he is now just underground,

I have nothing to show that Ghana man absconded. We have never lived together since he enterd the UK as my husband. So I rather decided to cut him off as I felt he just wanted papers,  He only used to receive mail at my house,  but that stopped a year plus ago when I moved out.

He has refused with all the documentation. My solicitor is not straight forward, keeps asking for money but I NO DEY SEE RESULTS. I don't want to give away any money again, I want someone who is straightforward andgets results ASAP!

I have No decree nisai, absolute because I am not sure if my soliitor will give me excuse again,

How much is it for these things anyway?

Thanks for your reply

[Beenee]

Oh another thing,  te homeoffice are aware that myself and the Ghana man are not together as tehy went to his home to check,  thats why they asked him to leave and he is disputing it now,

What can I do to free myself of this mess? I am praying too but action is needed fast as I hate to see my baby's father suffer the way he is presently.

Thanks again.

[brownbonno]

Firstly,
Since the marriage is not yet dissolved,technically you are still married.You have to initiate a divorce proceding against him specifying the reason and quote the Home office action as a support for your case.
Secondly,
Your Naija man cannot marry you now since your initial marriage is still subsisting.But he can include his name in your address and finally applied for a leave to remain as an unmarried partner for family reasons(child).In all you need a solicitor to handle all for you.The choice of your solicitor is your personal decision.

[Beenee]

1.would my partner have to go back to Nigeria to apply for the LTR?
2. Do I include him in phone bills and utility bills etc?
3. My solicisor is very slow,  I guess I have to locate another one.
4. One I have the decree nisai do we go to Nigeria or can we marry here? I hope this does not raise concerns for the HO, I am not a serial bride.I just believe the Ghananian was a bad choice and not Gods plan for me,

Thank you for all your help so far,

Bless ya.

[Beenee]

Once the marriage is dissolved we were told to apply for a authorisation certificate from the HO. What if they just tell him to go home, as they did already? I cant bring him back as I am on mat leave, 

[brownbonno]

Please re-read my last post

[Beenee]

Ok. thanks, will get the decree, dissolution or watever chased up with info as per your post,  Hope it will work out,

Thanks.

[ayomifull]

Congrats bro, i'm making same arrngement for my life wire to join us here, i hope to come back here like you to give positive result. Welcome aboard and congrats once again. On a lighter note, i hope u're not gonna have another 5 kids in 5 years with this weather o  lol

[femigirl]

It  nice to hear  good news,congrats.  Tos   six months on, how  are  you  finding  the UK?

[djavo]

Hi guys,glory be God. I applied for settlement visa as a first time applicant in the middle of august,got an interview date this week and visa was granted. Document submitted were enough wedding pictures,letters in form of emails,greeting cards,phone cards from me and my wife,bank statements showing salary earnings,work id card,letter from employer,birth cert,supporting letters from both of us explaining our relationship over the years and our plan for the future,sponsor tenancy agreement,certified copy of sponsor's passport,job offer plus jobsearch vacancies,marriage cert and above all prayer from all angles.The interview with the ECO was very short,12 minutes to be precise but make sure you remember everything you put on the form cos the first few minutes of the interview counts very much as they are able to build up an impression on your case with the first few question,that might determine how long the interview is going to last for.Anybody that would want me to share my experience with them is very much welcome.

[NOUBLE]

hi, thank God for you, i am sincerely happy with goodnews like this. just a few question if you don't mind. where is your wife from originally? is she or EU national? have you come to the UK before?  and how long did you apply before you were interviewed/

[LondonCool]

@Nouble,

Did you finally take the Church of England option ?

[NOUBLE]

my friend its a long story, i am willing to share with the house as soon as am through. i am still in the UK now with my partner nursing our new baby girl.
as you will know, its not very save to post all stuff on a place like this as those intelligence check sites like this to improve theire services. could you (LONDONCOOL) leave me your email so i can explain things to you and maybe you can advice.  famoussacred@yahoo.com
