Are you sure that's true????

If its true than congratulations my friend and all the best for the future. I haven't received anything from UKBA since my biometrics done on the 11th of July .

Lets hope there is light at the end of this tunnel that we have got ourselves into.

Congrats my friend and finger cross for all of us.. i havnt heard anything since i gave my bio matric in april..

[malik5805]

Deepshithole i have send you message in DM and asked you to send me winning cases if you have any ... send me plz if u have any either upload it here

[foreverdeux]

Yeah 100% sure as he sent me the scan file of the letter.
I gave my biometric in sometime January.
Guys you still have a long way to go. Just have to be patient and don't stop believing.
But the good thing is that we are legally entiled to stay here during the process and 2 year duration is effective from the date we receive PSW visa it self not from the date we applied for it.

Good luck to you all!

@forever....

congrats bro. just wanted to know how long can this delay be? I gave biometric on the 14th of april and its been more than 6 months since i posted my application to HO but have not received any decision yet.

my question is when should I start worrying about my application as I feel its already been too late now.

how many people are here on this forum who are on the same boat (waited more than 6 months)? please guys share your views on this.

thank you

ohh that great:: please let us know the source:: coz a lot of us still waiting for thier decision :: whoz told you ??

[NAHID]

I heard it from my friend, who's appeal has allowed from Upper tribunal , he went to his lawyer Mr Marfat to give his passport and photographs to sent it to UKBA for visa , then his lawyer told him today.

[Deepshithole2010]

I don't really like the sound of it....Even though my initial thoughts about Mr Marfat was good but it seems there are some people who are hellbent on giving him an exhalted status as if he has a solution to every immigration problem in the world.

Agree that he has some expertise with regards to ACCA cases but who is he to guarantee success for every applicant as every individuals applicant circumstances are going to be different.

The more people like yourself are harping about him the more people are losing trust on him. TBH I think he is a con and he is created few bad quality ID's and going about circulating his business, he may have one or two successes which may be incidental and he is using them to fool around 100's more.

[Deepshithole2010]

Apart from him I haven't come across any cases where people have had success on ACCA qualification which would automatically lead you to question what exactly is his argument that none other lawyer in the UK could produce the same.

Sometimes success can be very incidental and may not necessarily be due to the skill of the lawyer but what the judge makes out of the argument and you have to agree that sometimes they do get things wrong.

[malik5805]

Deepshithole you are not ryte this time iThink Mr Marfat is good person and capable to win Acca cases i dont knw abt anything if he have any other expertise rather than Acca :: i heard from my friend and Mr Marfat won his appeal and he handled his case very well:: i am sorry to say but you are one of those who criticse anyone without prove and you are arrogant person::

[Deepshithole2010]

I am not criticizing or being arrogant without reason. TBH I am absolutely in the same situation like yourself and it doesn't help me to criticize a genuine person unnecessarily, however if you click on Nahid's profile and follow all the post he/she has been posting you would find a striking similarity and almost 99.99% of the post have always been to promote Mr Marfat.

I have myself spoken to Mr Marfat and I do believe he comes across as a credible person, but i refuse to believe that he would have a solution to every immigration problem or as a matter of fact every person who has applied on ACCA fundamentals as the facts of the cases are very important on which the judges give their decision and it is highly unlikely 2 cases would have the same facts.

What surprises me is the extent of claim people go on to make about him, he is not a solicitor only a barrister and that too not fully qualified and licensed ( this is by his own admission). Firstly it is rare for barristers to be advising and seeking work from members of public (though strictly not illegal) but unusual. As a barrister he cannot guarantee anything what home office would/wouldn't do unless he has a strong basis of making such claims which doesn't exist at the present moment only claims from few dubious members whose only task has been to promote Mr Marfat in every post they make.

One success doesn't guarantee success for everyone and you haven't witnessed success first hand ie someone has told you they were successful albeit they have shown you documents but you wouldn't know the full facts.

I'll be the most happy person if that news was true but I won't be a fool to believe such things without any concrete evidence and I would always keep my skepticism till such time I see the proof.

[malik5805]

I think Nahid doing the ryte thing to promoting Mr Marfat because Acca students we Study really hard to pass exams and i beleive Acca is far hard than Degree and Nahid helping Acca student to get Psw wat they really deserve:; i know loads of ppl who have 2.1 in degree but failed many times in Acca exams:: therefore if Mr marfat helping any student to get psw than his work is much appreciated okay:: i will be happy too if i get my visa stra way without going to appeal like as you:; i dont knw abt anything else but hes gt experince of acca cases :: plz dnt try to ruin his repu he helped a lot of ppl without even being charged anything he spoke to my friends an hour and explain him everything not even ask for penny:: i personally rang Bhukhari Chambers and they were saying pay 30£ ist than Mr Bukhari can talk to you:; cant u see that as you mentioned earleier you hvae spoken to him too::

[malik5805]

DeepshitHole i read one of my friend decision and he is very close to us he won case recently:: and Marfat was his lawyer okay ::

[NAHID]

There is word that name carry attitude..... please dont act imprudently... it is true that it does not cost us anything to criticize or say rubbish to other rather its reflect ourselves, and proof what we are. the news was not to promote others but to let others know that ACCA students do not have to go any lawyers to seek help becasue UKBA will consider them positively. somebody may be out standing member does not mean that they are right all th times.

does it harm anybody or it does cost you financially that you are loosing your business if people get visa strait from UKBA. Would you not be happy that you do not have to seek any help or pay any fees to lawyers.

However your comment shows the attitude like a businessman who just lost his contract and become out of pocket and easily get irritated.
Why you are very upset , dont you have his number , why do not you find out again from him that why people like him saying such word.

It is a matter to think that If he wishes to make money or con somebody then for the benefit of others he would not say that all student would get visa with out any lawyers assistance. however individual circumstances is different but generally if somebody meet the requirement then they would not loss anything.

I already clear myself before that It not not about to promote somebody but to let other believe that we do not needs anybody's help as long as we meet the normal requirement. Good thing we do not have to pay somebody or do not have to call any lawyer to seek advice. Patience is virtue and wait and see the result in few weeks time . hope people deserve respect and we are here to share our views not to offend directly or indirectly to others. Hope that helps us to unite here to share our view as friend.

[malik5805]

What wonderful answer to that arrogant person:: i know one thing if this news is true we are ones who will get benefit coz than we do not have to pay anything to seek advice from anyone:: Let me clear you that i have few friends who always spoke to Marfat and he helped them a lot :: i never met him but i gor respect for him and whoever helps others:: Again kind request from you plz do not try to be clever okay:: Let me clear you that As you said before Fordeux is Marfat but hes not he send me his copy of decision :: now you will say again i am promoting Marfat coz i have said few good words abt him wat he deserve:: if you gonna say that i Marfat then you can speak me on phone :again Thanks a lot Nahid to share this news wid us if i get reply soon will let you know::

[Deepshithole2010]

The very objective is this forum is to save ourselves from immigration solicitors/consultants by getting first hand advice from people who have undergone similar experience.

By promoting an individual we are acting against the very spirit and objective why this forum was established. If some people believe Mr Marfat represented them well they should clearly highlight the basis of his argument and not hiding behind the cover of personal safety/confidentiality etc etc....as highlighted in my earlier post these issues could easily be overcome.

The objective of members here is not to push other members towards a particular solicitor/barrister as it is the material FACT that wins the case not the solicitor/barrister so if anybody who genuinely wants to help other members should share those stated FACTS. They should have the intellect and ability to distinguish what was a decisive factor on which they have won the case.

People who are generally deceptive are the one's who wants to keep things discreet.

And lastly no name calling please, I have only expressed my doubts through logical reasoning and the most plausible assumption. I still believe on the face of it Mr Marfat doesn't come across as a bad guy but I would refrain from recommending him to everyone/every situation as he is not a solicitor which means he is not able to solicit an advice to the member of public and yes he is a barrister but only part qualified, any claims about past success would depend on the FACTS OF THAT CASE and not him. As judges give their decision on material facts not for the sole reason that Mr.Marfat is representing you.

I am not a businessman who have lost a contract neither am I irritated however a public forum is not a place to market one's business either directly or indirectly.

[malik5805]

Look bro i am not promoting anyone:: My friend visa was expired and he picked Marfat no from Acca forum which have been closed by acca but the fact is my friend won his appeal:: i am just telling you wat i have seen why whould i hve lie to you:;

[Greenie]

Unless there is something in writing from ukba to say that they accept acca fundamentals as a relevant qualification for psw i would suggest taking the claims in this read with a large pinch of salt. Unless there is an authoritative reported upper tribunal decision on this matter (or indeed a decision from the higher courts ukba is highly unlikely to suddenly start granting psw applications in all acca cases.
