Hi 
My set (LR) application is refuse due to out of time application in way back 2011.
Here I have posted my PSW visa on time but file came back to me due to photograph is not as per guidelines and Home Office send me the fees back too. I then resend the file with correct photograph with in 2 days and got the visa after necessary process of biomatric after 90 days.
Now home office giving me the reason for my refusal is that from the time they send the file back till the time I got the visa there is the gap of continuity.
Hence my set ( LR) in 10 years continuous long residency route is discontinued.
Now I have the appeal hearing pending.
Please let me know how to handle this issue..
Your advice will be highly appreciated..

First of all why it's in both the court first n Upper tribunal ?
Secondly : if you dont mind please can I have your case reference so that we can use as citation in court.

This is refuse on 22.02.2018
Appealed against the decision due for hearing
According to home office two gaps as per point 4 n 7

Please advice how to win the case ...

HO is correct as your PSW application was returned as invalid, so you were an overstayer for more than 28 days and that means your lawful 10 year period of stay is broken

Hi Zimba.
Can you suggest me what the way out in this matter ...

Hi Zimba.

Your case is pretty weak. The rules are not in your favour. I suggest to argue that HO must have given you an opportunity to send the photos instead of returning the application as invalid however a similar case was taken to the supreme court and failed to gain any merit in favour of the applicant. The new rules require HO to ask applicants to fix the issues instead of getting an invalid application but you overstayed before such changes were introduced

Hi
As so many people and even top solicitors have told me the exact same thing as zimba88 is telling u that home office is right and my long residency is broken and i have o chance to get ILR. But i didnt give up i applie for ilr and got refused then again people told me to not to appeal but i did anyway in first tribunal i appealed on papers it wasnt even the oral hearing it was decided on papers and i won the appeal on article 8 and human rights but home office appeal against this decision and was granted a hearing in upper tribunal and even in upper tribunal ive managed to satisfy the judge that my 62 days gap was also due to the fault of home office im not the only one to blame for this gap. So judge ruled in my favour.
Big thing is i made my appeal my self ive done all the paper work and covering letter my self . All i did is to hire a barrister direct via public access scheme and save thousands of pounds in solicitors fee. It took me 2 years but in the end ive done it.
So it u have a geniune reason then trust me dont give up . U will get the ILR. U only loose when u give up.

If admin allowes me i can tell u the name of barrister and his firm so u can go to them

The caseworker had discretion to accept new photographs as a valid variation of the application.

Action wrote:No – application is invalid (but a variation will be valid)
