Hi, I Came To The Uk In 2003 1 Year Student Visa After The Expiration Of That Visa, I Didnt Reapply
Hi, I came to the UK in 2003 on a 1 Year student visa. After the expiration of that visa, I didn't reapply and subsequently became an over stayer. In February 2018, I was involved in a domestic violence offence. Shortly after, I was sentenced to a non-custodial sentence and granted immigration bail on the condition of reporting, bi-weekly, to the home office reporting center.At the same time i was having to attend a offender rehabilitation course three time a week, lasting couple of hours a week. Keeping up with the probation attendance and the immigration condition of reporting got too much and I stopped reporting.My question is, am i considered an absconder? If so, what are the avenues for me to re-engage with the home office without being detain.
