What an interesting thread!. As what Ms Donna had related how she was able to get through with her life since she came here in 2003 is something to consider worth reading. She indeed didn't comply with the Immigration Rules in which indicates that she has a limited stay and has to go back to her home country before the visa expires. Whatever happened during her stay here that we don't exactly know. As she narrated her wholelife stay reflects of her as a person who fell in love, worked on cash basis, got pregnant etc. I can sense she has been in a hard situation during those times. As what other members here had said she has broken the Immigration Rules.. Visa states....
EXPIRES ON…… NO WORK OR NO RECOURSE TO PUBLIC FUNDS, which she did understand... but I definitely agree she ignored it. I don't judge or condemn here for everyone of us also has made mistakes at one time or another. It's just that it is of different degree. I have learned that there are some people that abuses the system. Ex. One has filed for a gov't benefit because she reported her husband's abusive of her and not living together anymore hence she has been receiving from the gov't but at present still together... another one has been receiving benefits because she has reported herself as a single parent but, still sees her partner... and so on....
What has changed Ms Donna's situation is that she voluntarily went back to her home country at her own expense and that she is willing to start a new life. It's done and all over now. Now she is asking for an advice. We don't have to look back or stuck up to the past if she herself had admitted her mistakes and had ended it already. Unlike those that ask advice but still in the situation which is not acceptable.
As i've said everyone has done some mistakes in life but not all had accepted that they did. It is nice to know Ms Donna to be so humble to accept her faults
All the inputs to this topic have been great!!!
Cheers!
