SET o refusal for Police Caution, what next

Post by rocketeer » Mon Oct 19, 2015 11:37 pm

My SET(O) was refused due to a Police caution 322C (iv)that was received 6 months before I made the ILR application based on 5 years on Tier 1.

Is there anyway we can obtain limited leave to remain so as to prove that the offence was one-of andnot repeated so that we are able to stay until 24 months are lapsed before making another SET(O) application.

Why did you apply for ILR and lost so much money when you know that you had an unspent conviction?

You option is to apply for an extension of your Tier 1, until 2 years has elapsed.

Unfortunately, if you are under Tier 1 (General), then extending is no longer an option. Can you switch to Tier 2 (General)?

You can argue about the nature of caution.

Could you please give us bit more details about why were you given caution and did you contest it?

Currently I posted a FLR O application to avoid overstay.
I could switch to tier2 general I suppose but wouldnt the same grounds for refusal also have my tier 2 rejected?

It was a domestic incident. My wife hurt me and was violent so I raised my hand on her. She then called the police.
I didn't ask for lawyer only because I didnt want to press charges againt my wife or perhaps to fight for justice so hard so as to cause her to get a criminal record and to safeguard my wife and baby as I didn't think this would have that much of a detrimental effect. Looking back I know I shouldve called a lawyer but hind-sight is an amazing thing.

Refusal under 322(1C) is only applicable to indefinite leave to remain applications.

OP, sorry to hear about your case. I am afraid I can't be of much help. But, could you let me know if criminal convictions don't matter in an Flr O application? I mean will they not consider the conviction for FLR?

I believe 322 (1)(c) is a mandatory ilr refusal for ILR.

However it may be open to the secretary of state to exercise discretionary under 322 (5) and refuse on grounds of conduct , association .

Even Tier2 will not be an option if the discretion in 322 (5) is invoked.

Obie, could you respond to my question too if you can?

My query is basically if someone is not able to qualify for ILR because of criminality, can they apply for FLR instead only in order to buy time.

You must:
Talk to your wife to drop charges if you are in good terms with her and challange the caution.

There are no charges and apparently caution cannot be dropped once accepted.

Admin review processing times

Post by rocketeer » Tue Apr 19, 2016 8:03 pm

Im trying to get an idea of the processing times for Admin Review from the HO. Currently my ILR application is in Admin review and I wonder when I should expect a decision. I understand the HO guidance says withtin 28 days from the date of the AR application but a lot of people havent heard back in 28 days hence the query.
My date of Admin review was on 24th March and I still havent received a decision. Anyone else in similar circumstances please publish your admin review dates.
