After 6 months my local MP send a mail to home office and they send bk that for ETS investigation going on.

I did my ETS test in 2011 but when I apply for 10 years I send the IELTS test result,
Can any one help me on here, I am married with British citizen 3 years now but when I applyed for ILR ( 10 years) I didn't send any paper of my marrige , if I send some paper now is that going to help anything to my application .


[quote="hammad14"]Hi Sud315,
I have called them many times but every time i call them i get the same stupid answer" your application has not been completed yet, continue to wait". I am really frustrated sick of this, and thanks for your best wishes i appreciate it

thanks


[quote="sud315"][quote="hammad14"]Hi sumon2003,
Actually i am waiting for my decision since last 11 months, i don't know what type of investigation is this which can't be completed in more than a year, those colleges who abused the system are still up and running, we are the only one who suffer from both sides, this investigation is taking ridiculously long i am really frustrated and stress. I might withdraw my application and go home.

[quote="Mysterymeow"]Hello friends
Please could you add me to the spreadsheet. Application sent on 4/4/15. 6 and a half years student, 2 years PSW and 1 year 5 months Tier2. Only potential problem would be a break of 4 months when I lodged an appeal but then Pankina Judgement came through and visa was then approved. So we will see if this is straight forward or not though I did explain in a covering letter.

Thanks
Good luck and may your applications be processed swiftly.[/quote]
Hi Admin
Please could you add me to the spreadsheet as above with acknowledgement via letter received 17/4/15.
Thanks

If you withdraw appeal you are overstayer

Still you can make fresh ILR application in 28 days

But in case may Allah not and HO become naughty and refuse you then no right if appeal

So be careful

Best is soon after 1 April inform Tribunal and HO appeal officer that you finished 10 years and will maintain that you qualify for ILR

May be that HO withdraw appeal or judge in court tell HO to reconsider the case

i was refused my ILR because there are gaps of 85 days. In my own understand it was administrative error . I have submitted a pre-action to HO and the HO made their stand. My solicitor said he need to judicial review that is to go court. I am confused because of the cost involved. Can I change my solicitor. If yes can i just find another solicitor. Is anybody here with this same issue.

ILR rejected (need help)

Post by zilcan » Fri Apr 17, 2015 3:46 am

Hi All,

I have just received a bad news regarding my ilr i.e. rejected. I will be seeing my solicitor today. However, from the notes on website I found that I can go for reconsideration and/or judicial (I haven't been given a permission to appeal, based on my current stay, which will be expiring in 2018). I came to UK in 2005 and since then, I extended my visa based on educational grounds. In January 2010, I applied for student visa and they sent me documents back as the picture wasn't valid. Exactly on the same day i.e. 1st March (or within 28 days of visa expiring period, visa expired on 31st January), I sent my documents again. However, in a mistake, I sent them wrong application form (I didn't realize that between the first submission and the second submission, the requirements were changed). On 8th of April, HO sent a letter saying that my application is rejected. I contacted University (I am still at the same university and doing my doctoral degree), who made a new application in May, but between this time they sent a letter to HO (in between April and May) stating that the student didn't know regarding the application and now we are submitting his new application. In the month of July, HO granted me visa.

The main reason of rejection is same, I am disappointed by that news as I work really hard in live. I contacted several solicitors yesterday, who have suggested me for various things. I also searched on your website and came across the term reconsideration and also got information from HO's website. At the moment, I am not sure that if my solicitor stated in a covering letter regarding my previous visa rejection and the whole story (I will be seeing him today). Could anyone provide me with suggestion???

Many thanks,
Zac

Hi Sud314,

Actually i used the TOEIC english certificate which is under investigation, you might have heard about the ETS scam, the bbc televised the documentary on it, some colleges were involved in abusing the system taking the proxy test for others. But there are a lot who have taken the test genuinely who are suffering as well. I have already sent them another english test and yet they are holding my application.
sud315 wrote:Hi Hammad,

Is your case complicated that they take this long?
Would you not be able to expedite this in anyway?
Didn't you ask that why they take so long when their estimated time is 6 months. Why it take so long above average?

Some had commented that they send a second email saying if it's not going to be decided in 6 months they would let us know asap.
So did they do that in your case?

Yes it is ridiculous and understand your frustration for having to wait so long even having paid huge visa fees :x
Really hope you get it sorted out soon!! :) :)
