Hello to all, I am looking to find out about the experiences of others on a slightly confusing scenario: What happens when the applicant who is in a full-time salaried employment by a company whose sole director and shareholder is his/her spouse? If the applicant is and has been earning over the ...

You may need to hold the line for a rather long time over the phone - I have waited over 30-40 mins on few occasions.

It would also be handy if you had the Home Office Reference number nearby to quote.

Good luck.

I believe there is also a specific set of contact details to use following a decision on tribunal; I will need to look that up though.

Have you tried contacting the UK Visas and Immigration contact centre? They are not the best at advising on specific laws as in answering case specific questions, but they should be able to escalate your query and/or provide you with the right contact number. UK Visas and Immigration contact centre ...

Hello, Although I do not have legal background I would like to be of help if I can in any way - I am however sure more experienced members would soon comment on the post. I believe if nothing, you can benefit from the Freedom of Information Act (FOI). In summary, it gives members of the public the ...

Yes I have also found out that it is both time and money consuming process. However, I am glad that there is an option. I sent in an application which I believe is perfect as there really wasn't a single bit of area which they might challenge the application on. After the previous events I was ...

As it turns out if the refusal decision does not permit appeal, the applicant still has right to follow his legal rights on the path of judicial review.

After a series of long researches I finally found the answer to my post above. I will post it here as I believe it might come in handy for someone; Once 3C/3D is disengaged, the applicant in fact does become an overstayer - just like how vinny suggested. However, one should not fear that their ...

Hello vinny,

Thank you again.

Very interesting read - although I had come across it before I wasn't sure due to the dates the posts were written.

Thank your for your time.

Guidance > R-LTRP Dear vinny, Thank you very much for the clarification - it has really brought me some comfort. I understand that E-LTRP 2.2 clearly state that applications made within the 28 days of the visa expiry are perfectly valid / I guess my 28 day would begin on the day when the exhaustion ...

No. After Section 3C/3D is disengaged, the applicant becomes an Overstayer . However, some rules permit a fresh application within 28 days of overstaying. Hi Vinny, When you get the chance, would you be able to advice what those rules are? I am planning on making an FLR(m) in-country application ...

Thank you again! That has been my fear. Would you be able to advice which article or material I can read to find more about this? Or if you have the time I would greatly appreciate more infor. Thanks I think I misunderstood your answer and used multiple negatives incorrectly. You answered as "no ...

Thank you again!

You cannot make a fresh application while Section 3C/3D is engaged.

Thank you for your reply Vinny.

Does that also mean the fresh applications after withdrawing 3d/3d are void if the leave had expired during the proceedings?


Thanks again

I would like to ask to dear forum members about the rights to challenge an incorrect decision on a fresh application made after a refusal on a previous application. I understand that after going to tribunal and losing the hearings on an application, if a fresh application on a different category was ...

I would really appreciate any feedback on the above - I failed to believe that no one has attempted to vary leave after FTT hearing.

Many thanks

Thank you for your response. That was my concern - I am not sure if my appeal is still considered to be pending or not. In theory it is, but the little I have learnt over the last few years battling for my leave shows me that not only theory is not always same as the practice but also there are a ...

I would like to ask to the experienced members of the forum about their experiences on varying leave of someone with 3c/3d after the changes on the last months of 2014: Please note that the following scenarios are taken from the: 3C and 3D leave / This guidance is about leave extended under section ...

I have recently received the letter from FTT refusing my request for permission to appeal at UTT. I understand that I now have 14 days to submit the permission request to UTT directly. I am however interested in making a fresh application in a different category - FLR (M). Can I just send in the ...

Hello guys, Is there any one knows about taking a B2 level exam without original passport please. My passport is with ukba and i need it for Tier 4 visa. Please guys your help will get me out from trouble. Many thanks Hello Vickyali, As suggested above, have you got a certified copy from your ...

So glad you got it sorted. My wife used them for her A1 test and they were very quick to post out the certificate. As I recall, it only took 4 days for the certificate to arrive. We had to supply an A4 self-addressed stamped envelope for the certicate. Fingers crossed you'll get your certificate ...

Thank you for your responses. Does being under 3c/3d is considered as a valid visa? My visa had expired on Aug 2013 but I had made the application for extension on time and then the appeal; the whole process took over 14 months until the FTT hearing but I did my part on time as requested. Tomorrow I ...

I was hoping to send in my application next week and adding the result sheet provided by the centre - but I guess I can wait as I am going to be applying for permission to FTT to re-appeal at UT.

Hoping it will not take as long as the suggested maximum time of 4 weeks.

I am writing to ask about your experiences with supplying support letters signed by family and friends. In your experiences, did you get your solicitor/legal representative to write letters on behalf of them for them to sign or did they write their-selves? The reason why I am asking this is because ...

Give these people a call - your Home Office letter stating the passport has been held may be enough. http://www.theenglishacademy.co.uk/ They may ask for other ID so explain the situation and see what they say. Let us know how you get on. I can't thank you enough for providing their contact ...
