Overstayed spousal visa - expired 9 January
hello I am hoping to seek some advice. I stupidly thought my visa expired at the end of January and it appears it expired January 9th. I have 6 month old twins and have been struggling with mental health and time has just slipped away from me. can anyone tell me realistically what I am looking at? I’m trying to phone every solicitor in the area but I’m still waiting on someone to phone back. I’m also going to head to citizen’s advice this morning. |

Thank you for directing me towards that. Im trying to figure out if paying a lawyer would help my case any further as it would put us in serious debt. im confident l can get letters from my health visitor and gp confirming the mental health issue also the fact that my babies haven’t slept more than 2 hours in a row for about 2 months now. |

How did you go at citizen's advice, maybe they know of of community (not for profit) legal service that could assist you with an application under the rule I quoted? I would think having an experienced immigration solicitor would help for this type of application, but I realise that not everyone can afford that expense.
does anyone know the turn around time for the extension visa applications? Do I need to call immigration and let them know? |

they weren’t very helpful at all, but after a bit of further research and speaking to a few immigration lawyers I think I will be ok to submit the application myself. Basically they would just be reviewing my documents and typing up a cover letter for me. does anyone know the turn around time for the extension visa applications? Do I need to call immigration and let them know? Sorry, no idea of the processing time for this type of application. But common sense dictates that, as long as submit your application within 14 days after your visa expired, then you'd be ok to remain in the UK until a decision is made. |

If you're doing the application yourself, make sure your cover letter quotes the relevant 'overstayer' immigration rule that you're applying under. I would think that evidence from your treating doctor regarding your mental health would also be necessary.

thank you for the advice, quoting the immigration rule is a great idea I had not thought of. My heath visitor is typing up a letter at the moment and I’m going in to see my gp first thing tomorrow morning. |
