I am British citizen, however my husband (nigerian) was on a student visa. We got married in court 2years ago before his visa expired. However at that time he had been suspended from uni as he worked when he wasn't supposed to. The uni informed him that the UKba was aware if this. We, however did not received a letter of curtailment as he hadn't informed ukba of change of address.
A solicitor advised us to apply for discretionary leave to remain visa based on human rights. We didnt apply for spouse visa as i was not earning tbe required amount then. But i am now.
We just received a refusal letter stating that hr can appeal from outside the country. In the letter it statrd that my husbands visa was curtailed and then reinstated. But we didnt know. I consulted with other lawyers who informed me that the wrong application was made in the first place as we do no have children or circumstances that will stop us from moving to Nigeria.
Cutting the long story short, if my husband goes back to apply from Nigeria, will the fact that he worked when he was not supposed to be an issue even though his visa was reinstated? I'm asking because I don't want him to go back and be told he can't return until after 10years.
Secondly are there any other options as I don't really want him to leave.
Thirdly, can be make a fresh application from within, as long as this is posted within 14days from the decision date?
