Is Immigration Law More Important than My Love Life?

I married in UK with the girl I love and applied for extention of stay but missed my visa expiry date by one day. My last visa day was a sunday. I applied the next working day but the Home Office refused my visa by saying that I applied one day late so I have to go back and I don't have a right of appeal.

This is so cruel. Laws are made to help the love prevail and families grow is safe and secure environment. But this law is creating serious hindrences in my love with my wife. I can't go back because the political situation of my country is getting worst every day and there is sign of getting visa any time soon. Secondly, I don't have enough money to buy tickets to go and come back and also to apply for visa from my country and for other costs.

I have never been illegal or did any illegal act in UK. I love my wife and I love UK and can't leave both at any cost.

What can I do to stay in UK without leaving?

I wish to keep on working in UK to pay for my basic needs like, rent, food, bills etc, how can I do that because being an overstayer I don't have right to work?

Imsorry but i reckon you should have handed in your application a few weeks before rather then wait for the day it ended. I had 2 years on my visa, but not a day went by when i didnt think of when i had to send mine in for extension! I started putting my paper work together months in advance!

You might have just got your self into a problem that you could have easily avoided!

Alas there are lots of people who have flouted UK law.

And alas people like yourself are victims of other people taking the piss out of the UK's liberal laws.

Yes

Your fault. You missed it by one day. No ones fault but your own. Laws are laws and are meant to be followed by all. Yes the laws are more important than your love life.

I'm sorry about the situation you're in, but visa laws are absolutely more important than your love life.

In short... Yes

No one is above the law. Surely you must have known that you apply for a new visa BEFORE the old one expires. It's your own fault, I'm afraid.

Sounds less like a matter of love life, more a matter of life in general to me!

I don't know what country you're from, but would it really be THAT impossible for you and your wife to spend some time there? I'm sure you'll be allowed to reapply for a visa after some time. I have a friend (from the USA) who was deported from the UK and banned from entry for a year. After a year she applied for a visitor visa and they gave it to her no problem.

Whatever you do, DON'T go illegal. You'll be caught sooner or later and then they'll ban you permanently.

If the situation in your country is really as dangerous as you say, is there a chance to apply for asylum maybe?

Or, (I don't know where you're from) do you need a visa just to visit the UK? Cos if you don't then maybe you can leave the UK for a short time, go to Ireland or Netherlands or something, and come back as a visitor and try to apply for settlement again. But if you need a visit visa then forget that one.

I hope you find some solution, this sounds like a really terrible situation.

I think you can stay in an airport terminal.... I wouldn't give a **** about the law, love is way more important than some ****** law trying to keep you apart

Listen mate, f@%k the law. Just stay here and blag it. Lousy immigration laws shouldn't keep couples apart.

As far as I'm concerned you're welcome here!
