Apply on the basis of nothing concrete really.

The whole idea is if there's no point based visa to switch to, private life just buys time pending s/he restores their stay.

It doesn't really impact future applications. It will be more of a personal impact (financial, right to work/rent)

Zahra29:


Apply for family life on what basis though? It sounds like his wife and/or children are not settled in the UK and he does not have long residence to claim private life on.

He needs to be careful. Applications are more readily determined now, and he runs the risk of being found guilty of making vexatious claims which could impact future applications.

You too be careful of making statement like this in bold , especially if you don't work in the home office. ......

If he wants to apply for any category let him put it and allow home office to do their job.... I have given him a tip shebi they said we should share info here. It up to him or her to do their research and act to however fit

I actually have a clue as I have had a lot of sight and involvement in human rights immigration cases over 15 years, including those that started off reasonably simple but were complicated by taking ill guided actions.

I recommended caution because my view is that it would be obvious straightaway to the case worker that a private/family life application is completely meritless and the application could be swiftly refused, likely without the right to appeal, and the applicant might not gain any significant time.
See below excerpt from a respected immigration law guide :

The Home Office may say, however, that they consider your human rights claim to be “clearly unfounded” and “certify” your claim. This means you do not have the right to appeal the refusal in the UK.

However this is simply my view as others have given theirs. The man is free to go down any route he wants

I understand your point. I was recommending caution because the application could be determined quickly (especially due to the lack of strong supporting evidence). Last time I checked with a solicitor who used to work for HO, she advised that the turn around time for such applications is now a lot shorter.

Just my view and who knows, I might be wrong. However I think on a forum like this it's important to present all sides of a debate,pros and cons of an approach,to enable people make an informed decision.

Thanks bro.
If I am needing a family room (couple+child), ill likely pay much more, if yours is a single/double room. I am in a hotel of £256 for 3 nights for a family room.
I will give this a try nonetheless.

For someone that's been in the country for less than a year or 2 and on a temp visa will no doubt have their application refused.

It extends section 3C and whether it's shorter or not, it's up to the applicant to find a sponsor within that time frame.

They've noticed the appeal process has been abused and as you rightly said, right to appeal may not apply.

Last thing one wants is to use all the money to fight staying and then be illegal. I hope they reconcile sooner than later.

I agree 👍

A couple of points about section 3c which make the application turn around time significant:

1. If a decision is made before the expiry of permission, section 3C leave is not triggered, even where the application is refused and the applicant lodges an appeal by the relevant deadline

2. if someone has an outstanding application that was made before the expiry of their permission and they transition to section 3C leave, they can vary their application to another type up to the point that the Home Office makes a decision.. Once a decision has been made, though, any attempt to vary their application (i.e. lodge a new application) while they still have section 3C leave will be void.

I'll give you a literal translation of the message you quoted:

Translation:

"An elderly man ! Should behave.
If kids act like kids, then elders should act like elders."

I partly disagree with point 1. Section 3C is extended if application is refused and an in-time appeal is submitted.

Yes agreed - although after the decision is reached the applicant would no longer be able to vary their application, so they would need to win the appeal to maintain a lawful status.

However point 1 is saying that if a decision is reached before the person's original leave expires, then section 3c would not be triggered in the first place, even if they have a right to appeal.

See the relevant provision in the immigration act:


section 3c applies if—

(a) a person who has limited leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom applies to the Secretary of State for variation of the leave,

(b) the application for variation is made before the leave expires, and

(c) the leave expires without the application for variation having been decided.

Oh yes. I misread.

That's why applicants are advised to apply few days before expiry 😀.

Let me ask a rare question here.

I heard someone was deported for staying out of UK for more than 6 months after getting an indefinite leave to remain status. Story reads that he has been on ILR status for more than 15years but never applied for citizenship. (Jamaican village people at work)


So does the 180days clause still apply to ILR holders?

The threshold is 2 years for ILR holders (see below) so there is probably more to this story (there usually is with immigration cases)

If you were away for less than 2 years
You still have your indefinite leave to remain if you were away for less than 2 years.

You can re-enter the UK to as long as you:

had indefinite leave to remain in the UK when you last left
did not receive financial support from the Home Office to leave the UK

To add what Zahra said, deportation will apply if spent 12 months or more in prison for a criminal offence.
