Oh to be able to go to ILR in just one year.
Faulty has to find £400 next month to extend her ancestry visa by 1 year thanks to this governmnet being money grabbing *******s and extending the time requirements before getting ILR then making it retroactive*, and then another bucket of money next year for ILR, and more the year later for British Citizenship.


Think of the poor people who were 1 day away from getting ILR only to be told "sorry chaps, Gordon Brown wants another £400 from you"

Well she could go ILR in 12 months if she was your wife not your girlfriend. Just a thought.

This story is a sad case of someone having what sounds like a terminal illness, however the story does not indicate if the person was already ill when they came into this country.

I believe it makes all the difference if a foreign person falls ill and is diagnosed during the time they are legally in this country, but if someone comes here because they are ill that should be treated as a different matter.

We should not offer charity to others until our own are looked after, I have a relative (not close) in her early 30's who is now wheelchair bound. The NHS will not operate until she is at least 60 years old, because the remedial work only lasts about 10 years.
