Then a frequent visit will be questionable. Once a year is not bad

Thanks for your response

LagosismyHome:
She technically hasn't but if you becomes too frequent she can be denied entry and sent back . I am talking from personal experience as my mum was almost sent back. The luck I had was that they called first as they were denying entry and I was able to convince them to allow with conditions .

Thanks for your response

Is your mum a pensioner?

No she isn't.

Good evening beautiful people, please I have a question. I apply for a say 5 year visitor visa for my mum.

I want to understand how it really works. The maximum stay of a visitors visa is 6 months. If for example she stays for 5 months and goes back to Nigeria and then she comes back after 1 month and then stays 5 months, has she violated any visa rules?

What is the best way to maximise the use of this visa.

Thanks in advance.

Go through the process and select an option relating the your need.

And this is for contacting them from outside the UK https://ukvi.mysecurepay.co.uk/

Thanks for your response. This is actually the contact link I have been using, inside the UK though, and for my category, it always ends the call with computer generated responses. I have contacted my MP as was suggested here. I hope to get some progress out of it.

You need to use the paid service to speak to someone or use the paid email service and you can email as many times as you want until the issue is resolved. You will only pay once

Thank you for your response justwise. How can I access this paid service please? I haven't seen any links to it anywhere.

deept:
Maybe try apply for emergency travel certificate from the nhc stating lost passport.

Thanks for the input.

semmyk:
Every stay is for a max 6 months irrespective of how long the visitor visa is given for (2, 3, 5, 10 years). Before the end of each six months, she must leave the UK and re-enter again, except Home Office has granted the concession. Withdrawal only make the status quo worse.
So sad, you've penned Mum down as an overstayer. Hope, she can still come back in future.
Beware of street corner advice. Most goes against the law of the land, irrespective of how some have been able to beat the system!

Well, for now, as you've been advised, get her a Travel document to travel back ASAP. When back in 9ja, start the return process, obviously revalidation the visa.
Alternatively, get an immigration lawyer to petition her continuing stay on medical ground. Good luck with that though.
_{PS: this is not a binding legal advice as contemplated in law}

This wasn't beating the system, it was going through the right channels. Thanks for the advice all the same.

bigtt76:
Why cancel the application? I'm curious 🤷🏿‍♀️

She has completed treatment to a reasonable extent, only requires routine monitoring now.

bigtt76:
What he mea t was - were you prompted for your card details before you got a response from them? A paid call service he meant not you being charged by your mobile network operator to make the call

No it wasn't a paid service.

justwise:
Was the contact number you called a paid one?

I am not sure if it is paid but I use a bundle that has free unlimited UK minutes so I can't tell.

Ralphlauren:
As she's been classed as an overstayer, I doubt if her passport will be returned.

She will need to book a one way ticket to her final destination and forward the ticket details to a particular home office email address or cl a particular number. She will be instructed to meet some home office officials at the airport of her departure and her passport will be handed over to her.

This I believe is the process unless things have changed.

That said, she has 14 days from the day of cancellation before she's officially classified an overstayer.

This should be voluntary return. I actually called them but since her leave to enter is still till December, they redirected me to call the regular contact with computer responses.

Lexusgs430:
Have you consulted your MP ...........

Do you mean Member of Parliament?

Hello house, I hope we are all good.
I am in a dicey situation and need some input from those who have more knowledge and information than I do.
I applied for a two year visitor visa for my mum that will expire December this year. She came in December 2021. While here, she was taking treatment at the General hospital as a private patient. In June 2022 when her six month visit was almost complete, I applied for extension of stay through the FLR/HRO route so she could complete her treatment. She did biometrics in London and her passport was held back at the biometric center. Since then, no decision has been made and the passport hasn't been returned.
In December 2022, I cancelled the application on gov.uk and according to the information there, I would get the passport in 10 working days. Its over the 10 days and I have even filled the online complaint form twice, still no response. I can't get through as the contact number is for general inquiries and only get computer responses.
When I was cancelling the application, they stated that she becomes an overstayer from the date of cancellation but they haven't returned her passport still. What can I do?

Thanks in advance.

Cc. justwise Lexusgs430 and all other sabi people.

quivah:

I personally don't think it matters. You should be able to prove that they are one and same person. If you have a marriage certificate, I believe that you should be covered.
NB: this is my personal opinion and not based on any rule please

Knowledgeable people please help. My sister in law is running a program at Leeds Beckett University for a program of undergraduate and masters combined. She can work up to 20hours per week but her husband's(dependant) BRP shows no work? He is supposed to be eligible to work. Who has encountered this before and how long does it take to rectify please? Thanks in advance

Thanks to all mommas for the advise to start heading to the hospital straight away, it ended in praise....

Congratulations mama. Thank God for safe delivery. Kisses to your princess.

soulmate19:
Good Morning Mommas, I don't know if this is normal or not.
I have been feeling drops of liquid in my undies since yesterday afternoon till now and whenever I wipe, I comes with tiny particles like discharge. But the color of the discharge is light green or lemon. The liquid sometimes trickle down my thigh and am also feeling a lot of pressure on my bladder that I can't even hold pee for minute.

Should I be worried? We are 40+4 days already.

I am glad that other mamas responded sharply to your question. I hope you went to the hospital and you are being taken care of.

herkeem:
Alhamdulilah..... Truly women are heroes.

Once again I thank God. Being a first timer we spent more than 24 hours in the hospital before delivery. I pray for safe delivery to all others here.

Congratulations to your family. God bless your newborn.

khaite23:
Omavicky, ow far mama. We are expecting ur BA.
Mayluv, owz the vigilante going? To all September mamas hope our LOs are doing fine. Just checking up on u.

Thanks for checking up on us teamie. The recovery for this pregnancy has been slow unlike my first. Still taking things easy for now. Thankfully, vigilante has been easy as my baby just sucks and sleeps, no crying as such at night. How are you and your baby too? I trust you are doing fine. Congratulations to team october mamas dropping it as e dey hot and safe delivery to all preggy mamas.

omavicky:
truly no two pregnancies are the same...apologies to my fellow September mamas that I didn't come to announce my BA, she came on the 1st of October through Elective CS...since then I have been in pains, it was never like this with my first child..

what am really suffering now is severe nipple pain, cracked nipple, bleeding nipple...

Mamas I beg in the name of God, who has a solution for me,because once my baby is awake am scared to breast feed.

Above all I thank God for seeing me through this CS, it can only be Him.

Congratulations teamie. I have been awaiting your birth alert. For the nipple pain, I experienced it soon after I gave birth as I did with my first but not to the point of bleeding though. I applied lansinoh nipple cream but can't say I got any relief. As with my first, I kept putting my baby to breast. With time, the pain will gradually reduce and the nipple eventually heal. Pele it will pass soon enough. Other mamas will chook mouth with what worked for them. Congratulations once again

omavicky:
cappo am yet to oo, was hoping for a Vbac, but baby girl measured 4.2kg at my Edd scan, so am going for elective CS, presently at the hospital for the procedure 2moro....pls mamas put me in prays..will surely announce my BA soon

May God make it easy for you. Safe delivery dear. We await our Independence baby.

It's the last day of September mamas. This has been an exciting 30 days for me in particular and we thank God for his grace and mercies all through this beautiful month of September. The birth alerts, birth stories, complaints and all, God has been faithful through it all. Our hearts are with our teamie Ziby who lost her baby but gained an angel in heaven. May God change your story soonest. We look forward to a BFP from you very soon. To all my lively teamies thank you for making this journey a very interesting and bearable one. I feel I know most of you personally even though I haven't met any of you before. You all rock!!! All my porters from October, we heartily welcome you to the best team of the year. God bless all our LOs. May our babies bring joy, happiness, prosperity and abundance of God's grace to our families in Jesus name amen. Here is to the last roll call for the month of September.

Yaaaaayyyy.... congratulations teamie. God bless your new born

Kemade2007:
Hello mum, I'm a new mother and first time mom. I delivered through CS on 10/09 and since then my breast has not been producing milk. I'm so worried mum. Though I've been taking Antibiotics since but I've stopped yesterday. Also I've been on pap since but the milk has not been coming out.
Please I need advice on what to do I'm worried

Like I said in my comment above, you need not be worried. Being worried alone is enough to affect your milk production. Even when no milk is coming out still put your baby to suck and ensure proper latching. You can watch youtube videos on that. Eventually it will flow. Relax. One love mama

FairyGodmother:
Please help a FTM! I had my baby yesterday around 12:07pm. I have not been able to breastfeed her. Dunno if it's because I am not lactating or baby's not latching on well. I have watched countless breastfeeding videos but no change yet. What can I do? Secondly, my baby is yet to open her eyes. When will she open her eyes? Thank you

Dear teamie, don't panic. Continue putting your baby to breast and relax, your breastmilk will definitely flow. Mine didn't flow till the second day for my daughter. If you feel the baby may be hungry please feed with formular using spoon and cup and continue putting your baby to breast. Don't panic or stress about it cos stress will make your milk not to flow well. You need to relax. On baby opening eyes, I really have no idea. You have got this teamie

Chikabel:
BS!


Baby dust to all TTC mothers!
Bye team September. God will make it easy for all of us both in childbirth and in upbringing. Amen!

cc mayluv... BS submitted!
