I am married and have been in england seven years but i am an overstayer . can i get a british passport.?
Answer:
No. Go back to where you came from and apply the correct way
Is your husband British if so you can but its difficult and will cost you in solicitors........
My advice would be to keep your head down and say nothing just like the other 2 million illegals here and wait for them to catch you, after all thats never going to happen......
No, its people like you that have destroyed our country, please leave and take all your 'baggage' with you.
Thats a long holiday....'Bout time you went home now eh?? Beats me how the hell you managed to get married here! Bet i couldn't do that where you came from....Sheesh!! By the way, thats "England" with a CAPITAL "E"
PPs. Looking at your last questions youv'e asked recently ie. "I have had unprotected sex five times in the last week. could i be preganant?".....Then definately not!!! What are you on with????
No wonder this country is going to pot...........
Go back to where you came from and apply the correct way .
you are a illegal immigrant then! well the government is considering whether to give an amnesty to all illegal immigrant in the UK. You can Waite for the outcome or you go back to where you come from
Well done you managed to beat the system, well for now you have, but my advise is don't think about taking a holiday out of the country, or you may well find they may not let you back in
Let's hope not if you have such a dis-regard for our countries rules! Not a good start to you being a valuable and respectful citizen here is it?
i hope not
Hopefully not!
Is that what you got married in the first place .
If you are a working overstayer then you can approach a solicitor with proof that you have not been sponging off the system, and you can apply for a residence permit on that basis.
If you are an overstayer, you have broken the rules, it is the law that you return to your home land when visa expires, there fore you are an illegal immigrant and a criminal, my friend over stayed his visa in Australia by two months and was jailed for four months, if only Britain was as strict as the good old Aussie's, they take no cr@pp, and we would not be in mess we are in now.
Very unlikely.
Where are you from is one question that effects this and what you should do.
You already broke a law so there is no mechanism for getting a passport. The only thing you can do is leave and apply legally from outside the country. They won't reard you for baking a law. Actually odds are if you even try to apply and are caught they will make it so you can never ever get residency.
You only have two options.
You stay under the radar and stay. Never to be able to really better yourself or take that great job. No acess to government benefits that would help you with this such as education. You are dooming yourself to a life of medicricy. Even if you did manage to build something you will always wonder if this is the day they send you back and you lose everything. What if you want to get married and have kids? Provide for them and such?
Or you leave and start fresh with an eye to the future. Even if you married a UK citizen you would have to leave first and come back. And think about this....... the world identification net is closing in with biometric IDs and such. Maybe not today but someday you will run into trouble.
My point is that the only way is to do the right thing with an eye on the future. Depending on your naionality you might wish to give the US a shot.
no. you have to be granted indefinate leave to remain in the uk. once you have this then after 3 years you can apply for citizenship. once you have citizenship then you can apply for a UK passport. My advice to you would be to see an immigration solicitor.
Why oh why did you have to ask such a question?
Hello
Things aren't as bad as everyone who has answered above me makes out.
Yes, you can get a UK passport after 5 years of living here legally, but anyone who has been here for 13 years, legal or ilegal is able to apply for permanent leave to remain. I think the homeoffices reasoning is that after 13 years you aren't going anywhere, so they might as well make you legal.
You didn't mention if your spouse is a UK passport holder.
