Many thanks. Yes, I have received a letter to say that my file was closed because I didn't go for the medical. However, I really hope that CIC can re-open my file, rather than getting me to reapply. The application, as we all know, is really lengthy and complex. Has anyone has similar experience of ...
Hi everyone I submitted an application for federal skilled class about a year ago in London, UK, and was not long after offered a medical test. However, at that time, I happen to have some personal issues in life and was not able to proceed with the application. I was given a few weeks to go for the ...
If you are desperate to bring them over permanently then perhaps they can apply for a settlement visa from China when they go back. That is actually what I am considering.... If applying from China, it is possible to use a UK-based solicitor as representative? Also, if the application is made in ...
This is another firm which appears to be very good. Hi Obie, many thanks for your information. After speaking to a solicitor, I have decided not to pursue this. I was told if I reapply, the chance of success would be 50:50. Main points against my parents are they have a small pension, and also the ...
Obie, I got in touch with the firm you recommended, but they are fully booked for the time being and are not taking on any new cases until end of May. Are there any other firms you can recommend? Many thanks. There is This Firm which i have heard lots of positive feedback about. I see, so they are ...
It almost feels like a CCTV has been watching over me all along when you brought back an old post of mine. :shock: Thanks for taking the interest though. I still stand by everything I said in that old post. However, my life situation has changed since then (almost 3 years ago). I now have a partner ...
Thank you so much Obie... I am most grateful for your advice in what to me a very difficult and sad time.... There is This Firm which i have heard lots of positive feedback about. I see, so they are in the UK at present. The UKBA tends to frustrate in country applications in these circumstances ...
Thank you so much Obie. You are so knowledgeable! They are currently in the UK on a family visit visa. If I do seek legal assistance on the JR route, do you know of any reputable firms of solicitors with experience in this? Please note that the Judicial Review process is in place to assess the ...
Hi Obie Many thanks. Home Office basically gave 3 reasons for their refusal: 1. That my parents are not living in the most exceptional compassionate circumstances; 2. That they are not financially wholly or mainly dependent on me; 3. That they could turn to their other son for help. I understand the ...
Thanks Obie. I heard that a JR is expensive and time consuming, and was looking for a quicker solution. Someone mentioned a request to HO to reconsider the case, but not sure if that is an effective tool to use. Does anyone have any experiences in reconsideration? Also, I am not sure if it is legal ...
Thanks very much for everyone's opinions, especially to vito0514. I just would like to point out that every parent's situation is different. I can understand the situations where an elderly person is derooted, and as a result becomes even more miserable and isolated than they were. However, my ...
I am desperately looking for any help/advice anyone can provide about a refusal by Home Office of application made by my parents for settlement. The basic facts are as below: - I am a UK citizen - Both my parents are over 65 years of age - For the past few years, I have sent money regulary to my ...
Hi everyone I have finally received my passport. A very smart and high tech looking passport! :D :D Many thanks to everyone on this forum who has given each other help and encouragement. And to those who are still waiting, best wishes. It is a long journey, but you WILL get there! NCS or Postal: NCS ...
I did my ceremony at Camden Council. They have a ceremoney every week on Wednesdays. When I called to book, I got a place in the following Wednesday. You can try Camden if you wish to have it earlier. Hi Filipinas, Congratulations !! wow that was pretty quick ! Did the approval letter specify the ...
More update from me.... The interview appointment is not as readily available as I thought. Basically in London there is nothing within the next 2 weeks. I had to book one in Chemlsford, but even that is one weeks away. One good thing is that most interview offices are open on Saturdays, so I got an ...
ddwdm Did your passport interview letter come in ordinary post or special delivery? I am a bit worried as there is a postal strike and many letters were delayed. Also, which interview office did you use? You seem to get an interview within the next 3 days. Many thanks! NCS or Postal: NCS, Croydon ...

@momo247m, Thanks for your reply. @Pisces Did you call home office to find out the status. If not,I think it is good idea to get an update just make sure nothing lost in the post. You can just ask them to check whether anything has been posted for you. @bgizzle Any updates today from HO ? Thanks ...
