well if he had spent a decade here, he had 10yrs to sort out becoming a British citizen :doh

I don't know why they are appealing they will not win :NoNo: his ILR has expired :doh

Stupid people.:NoNo:

After all that missionary work, you'd think their 'god' would be looking after them. :Erm:

Hmm :cwm25: ... methinks this couple's plight has already been mentioned before on the forum.

Which reminds me of a case Fred once drew attention to ... whereby an elderly British bloke wed a Filipina, and he and his wife lived in the UK for 11 years after their marriage - before eventually moving to her *homeland. Alas ... after a long spell *there, the husband developed a serious illness - couldn't afford the cost of treatment in the Phils - and was going to have to come back to Blighty for major surgery ... ALONE - the reason being that, throughout the time he and his wife had spent in :Britain:, she hadn't applied for ILR.

Sad state of affairs. :bigcry:

I have no sympathy for folks who don't pay their car insurance, car tax, community tax or any other sort of bill. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

:cwm24: ... who's to say the Reagans don't pay their bills?

Anyway ... we aren't discussing things like car tax & insurance, Community Charge or, indeed, any ancillary "domestic" payments
on this thread! :NoNo:
