THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM

Kennedys Law and Garden Court put forward nonsensical arguments regarding overstaying. UK Migration Lawyers had documented we had already overstayed – someone decided to present statements made in past tense and as future tense. This is a blatant, damaging and frankly, embarrassing misrepresentation.

Simple past tense, which requires adding “-ed” to the end of a root verb and shows that an action has happened in the past. For example:

“Because stayed in UK after visitor visa ended can come back as partner but not in another category – banned.”

• The past tense of stay is stayed.
• The past tense of end is ended.
• The past tense of ban is banned.

Other examples:

• The past tense of trust is trusted.
• The past tense of believe is believed.
• The past tense of lie is lied. In this instance you add d to the end.

UK MIGRATION LAWYERS EMAIL TO US – 8 February 2021

”In relation to the question about having exception circumstances for remaining in the UK beyond the expiry of your visa – the Home Office have advised that if you have remained in the UK due to OCVID-19 then the answer to this question is no.”

KENNEDYS LAW – 6 July 2023

”Our Client discussed with your Client at the outset the consequences if the new application was refused and he fell into the category of an overstayer.”

GARDEN COURT – 11 January 2024

“The advice that he “can remain in UK until a decision is made” did not imply that he would not be an overstayer.”

AND

“As regards sub-paragraph (f), the Claimant was fully advised about the options available to him, and chose an option which would result in him becoming an overstayer. He was advised that doing so would make him liable to a re-entry ban (albeit that the re-entry ban does not apply to applications under Appendix FM). ”
