You may grant the application if an applicant:

has short gaps in lawful residence through making previous applications out of time by no more than 28 calendar days, and

meets all the other requirements for lawful residence.

hi guys i have a similar situation
During my long residency i once had this situation, please help me to figure out if this will be counted as a breakdown period or not

I had a Tier 4 visa
From 04/03/2008 to 30/06/2009

i applied before my visa expired as a tier 4 in 2009
AND
home office sent me a letter saying that the card number i provided didnt go through and asked me to resubmit the application with the correct fee. The mistake i made there was i sent the bank statement which didn't have enough money init and home office refused my application and gave me 2 option either i appeal within 28 days or i leave within 28 days.
I then went to my solicitor and he advised me to resubmit the fresh application which i did within those 28 days and got tier 4 visa granted

From 01/07/2009 to 01/10/2009 (took 3 months of all this process before they issued me the visa starting from 01/10/2009)

My question is that within all this happening in 3 months was i ever over stayed or broke my long residency.

can anyone please tell me if i am in trouble

Hi

I came in UK 16 sep2004 as student and completing 10 years on 16 sep2014.

My application for student visa was rejected on 13 feb 2008. The reason was damaged bank statement and sponsor box was ticked by mistake. I was asked to submit new documents. I wrote to HO that the sponsor box was ticked by mistake and I have sufficient amount in my personal acccount. I also submitted new bank statement. I resubmitted bank statement and letter within 11 days.I was issued visa within 5 weeks time.
One more thing is that my visa expiring on 16 aug 2014 and my application for ILR is due on 16 sep 2014. My questions are;

1. Would this rejection period break or affect my 10 years application? Should I write covering letter to mention this period or just mention in the application.

2. I dont know how to cover one month period ILR and which application can help me cover this time.

3. I have my wife with me as dependent. She has been with me for 4 years in UK (4 years and 2 months in sep2014. Her visa is also expiring on same time. What application she would need to submit?

Kindly help me with the above situation please..

Regards

Akhtar
