Hi Nadeem ,
Ye I have called the home office and it's a standard reply " THE CASE IS WITH THE CASE WORKER"
Trust me .. I am sick of this entire thing like everyone else. It's sucked a lot of blood out if me .
It's come to a point where I am not worried about the outcome but just give me a decision.

Thanks

Hi guys I wonder if you can help me. I am filling in a set lr form. 4yrs +5yrs ancestry+1yr as a parent of a 10yr old born in the uk. At the end of the first 4yrs I posted my application 28 days before my visa expired. it was expiring on the 26/01/08. The HO received my application by the 1/01/08. They had my passport and returned it with a visa for a further 5 yrs and the permit date of issue was 28/01/08. There is a two day gap and even thought they had my passport I was wondering if they would penalise me for this. I have searched for the acknowledgement letter they sent back then but can't find it.

Will it be okay to send the application without the letter to prove they had my passport during the gap? Wat do I do?

Thanks in advance....

Ho is considering the date you post your application not the time they took to decide for application .if your visa is expiring on 27 feb and you send the application on 27 feb then you are on time even if ho will take 1 year for decision. You send your application before visa expiry .dont worry

Confusion !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Solicitors received Documents on 18th February and they are waiting for BRP.
I have called HO today and was trying if somehow i can get the tracking no for BRP. They said "BRP has not been sent out yet".
According to their records documents has been sent on 17th February. Thats almost 7 working days gone away ! I am not quite sure what should i do now . Solicitors did not provide me any copy of the documents. It is very difficult to reach in Solicitor.
If you can please advise me.

Still waiting for BRP ! No trace ! One of my friend said last year he has received BRP after one Month ! I do not know how long it will take.

As i said before i got refused for my ilr. Please find the reason below. Extract taken from refusal letter:

You made an in time application for further leave on 31 January 2007 and your leave continued under Section 3C until 16 February 2007 when your application was rejected because you had not submitted the prescribed fee and had not completed the payment details of your application form. It is noted that the Home Office letter informing you that your application was invalid, dated 16 February 2007, stated that if you wished your application to be considered you must return your application form with the correct fee payment within 28 days. You re-submitted an application on 19 March 2007, 31 days after your application was rejected, however, this was also rejected as invalid because the payment details you submitted were rejected by the issuing bank. You were advised of this in writing on 23 March 2007 and were also notified that you would be required to submit a new application for leave to remain.

On 02 April 2007 you made an out of time application for leave to remain as a student and this was rejected on 22 April 2007 because you had not submitted the appropriate application form and you had only submitted a partial fee payment.

On 08 May 2007 you made a further out of time application for further leave to remain as a student. Your representative’s covering letter, dated 02 September 2013, claims that this application was accepted as in time application referring to an erroneous note made on our internal system, that you obtained following a Subject access request in May 2013. It is noted that after submitting an application on 08 May 2007, that was 81 days out of time, you were subsequently granted a period of leave to remain as a student on 01 June 2007. This was because Immigration Rules for leave to remain in that capacity did not require that applicants have extant leave at the time of application. Further in your case, as you were granted further leave to remain in the capacity of student, it should be noted that this is a category that does not of itself lead to settlement. It should not therefore, be inferred that as leave was subsequently granted in your case that this raises an expectation that any future application on the basis of long residence would see the requirement to have spent a period of 10 years lawful continuous residence in the Uk waived.

With this in mind, you were without valid leave from 17 February until 31 May 2007, a period of approximately 104 days. As such your period of continuous lawful residence is considered to have been broken at this point.

Therefore you cannot demonstrate 10 years continuous lawful residence in the Uk and cannot meet the requirements of the Immigration Rules with reference to Paragraph 276 B(i)(a)

I talked to an oisc immigration adviser yesterday and found out:

I got a very strong argument that it was 28 days and not 31 days

Basically from the long residence guidance, the The 28 day period of overstaying is calculated from the latest of:

the point that a migrant is deemed to have received a written notice of invalidity, in line
with paragraph 34C or 34CA of the Immigration Rules, in relation to an in-time
application for further leave to remain.

Deemed to have received according to Immigration rule is the day after except if it was a business day

On my Sar, it is written that outcome was finalised on 16 feb 2007 and was dispatched to me on 16 feb 2007

Based on Immigration rules above:

I would have received notice of invalidity on 19 feb as 17 feb was a saturday and 19 feb to 19 Mar is 28 days as feb 2007 was only 28 days

so that the app was returned within 28 days and not 31

Now that this has been covered, my main issue is the subsequent apps that were rejected. All of them were returned in time but I dont know if that will have any effect on my case.

Can somebody please help me on this?

Based on the argument above, can i apply for a reconsideration side by side with my appeal?

Sorry for your refusal, but I have never seen such an irresponsible case before, you didnt complete the payment section first time, HO gave you 28 days to sent it again, but you sent it after 31 days that too with wrong payment detail again, then they gave you another chance to submit , still you submitted wrong form with incorrect payment again. They now have every right to reject your application to be honest. Sorry but that was gross irresponsibility.

Hello I need an urgent advise , Any one who can suggest me on my this case ,


I am going to complete my 10 years in July 2014 , However i have got Tier 4 student visa valid till AUG 2015 through highly trusted college ...

As i will apply for ILR in JULY 2014 and hopefully i will get the outcome of my Application by the end of Dec 2014 ,

What if i will not attend college after July 2014 ?

Will it effect my ILR if my highly trusted college inform HO about my absence from College ?

Do any one have got idea how , when in which circumstances Colleges can take any action against it ?

Any possible consequences ?

Actually the only reason i don't want to attend college after JULY 2014 Is that i don't want to pay further fees of any semester to the college so is there any one who can suggest me what should i have do ?

Any one who can reply with some good suggestion , or any one who knows any case similar to my one ?

And if by any chance i have posted this post on wrong forum or topic please correct me ....


Thanks

shah,
One of my friend have suffered lots in same case like you. I am suggesting you to keep the relationship with college. Even it is better pay lumsum amount to college and hold you connection with them ! After submitting your ILR application, do not talk too much with college, keep quite and let the time to go. Much argument with college, much trouble ! "This is not the guide lines, This is a case study of my friend's".

Also you can apply 28 days before your 10 years complete. If you take that opportunity, it will reduce your hassle with college.

I have to agree 100%, cannot believe the solicitor allowed these mistakes to be made, this is why you have to be very careful with the solicitor you choose, there are so many cowboys out there that only want your money.

I have not used a single solicitor for any of my applications over the last 10 years, these boards have a wealth of information and if your case is straightforward I would advise doing your own research and applying yourself to save money.

Obviously if your case is complicated then it is advisable to use a respected solicitor, but I would like to thank the board again for saving me thousands of pounds and stress over the years.

Very sorry to hear about your refusal Yasin, I hope things work out for you.

Adding up just one thing, until unless your lodged application does not get approved you are considered having your previous status/visa. So, be careful with your college as you will be relying on them until your ILR approved.
