i wish everyone good luck, life too short to be a grumpy , and before anyone starts, i'm not saying you are , but have you ever made a mistake or done something you shouldn't have and did anyone ever help you out ?

as for defrauding the gov, its ok for well paid MP's to commit fraud, but not ok for someone getting paid a few £ an hour.

anyway like it or not, she will probably get her visa, shes been out of the uk more than a year, left at her own expense.

if you want to do something, complain about how unfair the system is, why is it easier for a european living in the uk to bring their wife here, and more difficult for a brit living in their own country to bring his wife here.. and tell me if your gov ever bother replying to how unfair the system is
I think some people are missing the point, as for it being “ok for well paid MP to commit fraud” but not ok for Ms Donna. If you consider just having the baby on the day costs £15,000 to the NHS if it is a straight forward birth, plus the £1000’s in child support as a single parent… then you must have big pockets to carry this loose change. Also I refer to the case of Lester Piggott OBE and Lord Jeffery Archer MP who were both sent to prison, so no it not ok!!!

Yes of course we have all made mistakes, but knowing what you are doing is wrong and is premeditated, and is different to making a mistake, the visa clearly states:-
EXPIRES ON…… NO WORK OR NO RECOURSE TO PUBLIC FUNDS, which bit did she not understand

I realise that the blame cannot be laid at the feet of people like Ms Donna but the feet of the people who make and enforce the laws of the Country, it is the people that have trod this path before her that have made the path easier.

I have had my say and no doubt it will not change a thing and Yes after time and a little effort using the fact that she has a child that needs her father the Government will grant another user into the system a Visa
Living here in the Philippines makes me wonder what happened to the UK the Filipinos are so proud and so patriotic of there country stopping the traffic in the road standing in silence while they raise the flag and play there national Anthem, Can we do that in the UK….. No because we might offend the sensitive.

Perth in Scotland is a beautiful place and far removed form the real world of Manchester, Birmingham, London where we are being smothered by the Illegal users with more rights than a British Citizen, Where Mosques are built bearing the name Saddam Hussein and the brother of Osama Bin laden is applying for his residency to the Uk and trying to buy Newcastle United F.C.

I made my protest to the Government 10 years ago…… by leaving.
I have no intention of responding any further, I stand by what I say, and I will gladly help people with a genuine need !!!!!!
