When she was filling for her ROA, it is presumed she mentioned her child as a dependent?

She simply needs to file an application for her child too...

NB : Trying to find process 4 requirements. Did she personally file for the ROA or instructed a lawyer?

Lexusgs430:
How long has she been out of the UK for?

My fellow August applicants, we will all hear good news soon ��

hmmmmmn...working day 31. God dey o

Too late for priority application........ The only way is to withdraw your original application, pay another fee and use priority (not cost effective)......

Unfortunately, you have to wait.......

You could send them to their Father and he pays a live - in minder, to look after them (Daddy must have deep pockets)

Nothing your MP can do, your application is still within the SLA timeframe........

Dear all,

I wanted to give you all an update regarding my husband’s situation (for reference, my story is detailed below). Going forward, I would also like to advise and support people who go through the Visa/Appeal ordeal as I have learnt so much.

When I first came across this site, I was pleased to read people’s experiences and the support and advice people gave each other, so I decided to share my story and seek advice.

Unfortunately after posting my story, I have to say that I was very disappointed with the support I received. In fact only two people responded to me and in some respects negatively. This put me off the site, I felt embarrassed and for a period of time I stop coming on Nairaland which is a shame as I believe the site is invaluable and a lot of people have been successful due to the advice and support received.

@Lexusgs430- I appreciated the fact that you took time to respond, however I felt you jumped into conclusions and was critical of our situation, stating we were economical with the truth, not open and sincere etc. The fact remains we told the truth and the decision should be based on facts and not assumptions. You even made reference to the fact that the ECO may have thought the marriage was to circumvent. However at no point did the ECO suspect that the marriage was fake. The refusal was due to the fact that he overstayed. You did however advise that it was not the end of the road. You also said that an illegal entrant was also known as an overstayer. I am afraid that was incorrect as they are two different types of people. You also stated that an aggravating circumstance could be being economical with the truth. Again that is incorrect because the aggravating circumstances is related to his time and actions prior to the application. Overall though, you were still encouraging and advised that in the end the visa would be granted.

@stillwaiting- I appreciated that you took the time to respond, however, I found your response was very negative, you focused on my husband’s past as a student, how he should have applied for the student visa earlier than the time he applied and how he should have left the country when they told him to and not overstayed etc. The purpose of this forum is to give advice and help people move forward not criticise what has been done in the past especially when you cannot change the past. I was very upset at these insinuations. You even tried to put me off going down the appeal route.

I am happy to advise that we proceeded with the appeal, we did it all by ourselves, with no lawyer, we argued that 320 (11) was not applicable as there were no aggravating circumstances and today we received confirmation that the decision was overturned and that they will issue the visa. The reason the decision was overturned was due to the fact that the refusal decision flawed and they were not satisfied that 320 (11) was applicable to our case. We give all the glory to God, we had to share this news because God has seen us through, it has been tough, but we have learnt so much and now we want to help people with their own situations.

Please as general advice to all, when you give advice to people, please focus on facts, there is so much information and guidelines on the home office website, so please use those to support your advice. Please don’t jump into conclusions and let us always remember everybody’s situation is unique. What works for one person may not work for another. Whilst one person’s appeal takes 4 Months, another may take 12 Months, it always all depends on who is handling the case and other matters come into play. We do recognise that in some circumstances, reapplying is more appropriate than appealing, but it is down to personal choice.

I will post the timeline once we have received the passport back.

Please feel free to ask me for advice as we believe we are very well versed with the process. Thanks for reading.

The only thing that will be collected from you is your international passport and online application confirmation. But u can as well go with your IHS payment confirmation and appointment confirmation. Every other documents should be sent to Sheffield office.
