Hi Everybody
My friend and her husband are in trouble and they need an advice.
I April 2010 her husband was declined a UK resident permit and he lost his right to work legally in this country. At the same time they have never returned his passport, so even if he wanted to move somewhere else, he cannot do it. In In October my friends got married (she's Polish and he is Algerian). They both provided Home Office with the papers and pictures confirming their marriage. She was also requested to send her passport. It's been 7 months and she still has not received her passport back! She cannot even go to Poland to visit her family. It's been 2 years since his passport was taken away!
Not only Home Office respresentatives refuse to provide them with any info regarding his residency process, but also do not want to tell them when they will get their passports back. They say the process has not been completed and it may take a bit longer. WHAT KIND OF VAGUE ANSWER IS THAT?!!!!!!!!
How can they refuse to provide them with information regarding their life, their passport? They keep sending letters to Home Office, new application forms and nothing has been done.
Is there any legal act according to which Home Office CANNOT refuse to give them an updated information? What shall they do?
I will much appreciate your advise. My friends are stuck and they already once seeked legal advise, but they spent a lot of money and nothing happened.
Thank you!
