The Issue

Mr Bellamy first entered the UK in April 1994 as a visitor to visit family and friends unfortunately he overstayed his 6 months visa due to financial difficulties. In 1998 he married his first wife. In 2001 his application to the home office and human rights appeals were refused based on unfounded findings that his relationship was genuine but that the marriage was a convenience and that he was convicted of benefit fraud. His marriage lasted to 8 years to first wife and he was never charged or prosecuted for benefit fraud. 

In 2004 he meet his present wife, In 2005 they got married. Mr and Mrs Bellamy submitted an application for leave to remain in the UK on the basic of marriage, that application was refused and HR appeals in the tribunals against removal was successful; In 2009 he was then granted discretionary leave for 6 years which would be review every 3 years. On the first review in 2012, his application for further leave to remain and immigration appeals was refused in 2016 on the grounds that he was not living with his wife and had gone to stay with his mother in Leeds due to mental health issues in the marriage relating to Bipolar 2 Disorder and Manic depression. please help thank you.
