Re: Need Help with U regarding home office issue
Trust me the Home Office are so slow with this type of thing - no wonder they know EXACTLY how many illegal immigrants they have!
Chances are that if she has overstayed and she has no option but to leave the UK, then they might only hand her Passprot back to her at the airport.
This happened to my husband. There isn't a problem for you to call the Home Office and liaise directly I had to do the same but not because our solicitor was rubbish but because the Home Office had my Passport too and they lost it!
If your solicitor is OISC registered I would consult the OISC as well as you aren't being provided the service you need
PM me if you need anything further - the specifics. As I said, I have personal experience of this and also in my day to day job I deal with the Home Office almost daily!!!
