Thanks for your reply,
When you know your immigration history and you have the record of that.
Does it still important to get SAR file and you know I have only 10days left to apply.

Dear All Members,

I want to ask some questions from Senior Members. I am applying for ILR(LR) on 20th Janauary.
Here is immigration history.
19th February 2005 Came from Pakistan on Student Visa Expired on 31st March 2006

Applied next student visa on 25th March 2006
Valid from 03rd April 2006 Until 30th June 2007

Applied next student visa at PEO Croydon in person on 18th June 2007
Vaild from 18th June 2007 Until 31st August 2008

Applied next PSW visa on 18th July 2008
Valid from 20th August 2008 to 13th August 2010

Applied next Tier 1 General (HSMP) on 05th August 2010
Unfortunately refused on 23rd August 2010 because of my own mistake. I provided 3 months bank statement and they required 1 year bank statement. They sent me appeal procedure with refusal. I Appealed wihin the time frame.
Went for appeal in court my self and provided there 1 year bank statement. Won the appeal from court
Valid from 21st March 2011 Until 21st March 2013

Applied extension of Tier 1 General (HSMP) on 15th March 2013
Unfortunately refused on 10th April 2013 because of my own mistake. I did not signed one page of my Profit and Loss account.
Just because of one sign on one single. I got refused.......
They sent me appeal procedure with refusal. I Appealed wihin the time frame. Signed the Profit and Loss account sent the appeal from. 5 days before court date, got a call from HO re presenter that We are allowing your appeal and they want to come in court. I knew the reason they dont want to come because they have to refund my court fees just because I did't signed one page. They can send me query but they not even bother to sent me my Profit and Loss account to sign it.
Appeal allowed got my visa
Valid from 17th September 2013 Until 17th September 2016

My question is that I have been refused on two different period but I appealed within the time frame and I won the appeal for the same visa which I applied. I did not made any fresh application or change the category.
Please advice me that my 10 years in this country is legal or not.
Also do you think I should request my SAR to check my history.
I will wait for your good response.

Thanks
Tahir

Tahir,
Your history appears to be fine as long as you had your appeals in time and there is no break in your continuous stay. But it is worth to request SAR asap as you still got some time left. Bear in mind their turn around period is 40 calendar days but it will give you peace of mind that there is no issue in your visa history.
Good luck.

Thank you Arsal385

I am very confident that if I send a fresh application now then there is no break in continuous residence since the 6 months+ gap are separated in two different 12 months interval from date of application.

I really hope I can make a fresh application straightaway.

I have already tried to get medical records from back home but they haven't got any since they do archiving every 5 years and my break was in 2006-2007

Many thanks for your reply Arsal385

No worries but please take some advice from a good solicitor as they are in the market and have got all the up to date information. I am not saying use their service but a little advice would help you and will safe you from any potential hassle in the future.

Absolutely right Arsal385

Thank you very much for the kind words.

But I have to act quickly since they gave me only 7 days to appeal.

In sha Allah I am allowed to send a fresh application which will be the best option to me.

Many thanks Arsal385

Hi guys,

Need some help and advice from members please.

If a set lr application is refused:

1.can that person do a fresh set lr application straight after the refusal?
2.can that person appeal the decision and in the mean time do a fresh set lr application?

And do you know how long roughly does it take to get a hearing for the appeal?

Many thanks

You need to check refusal ground first. If you think they refused your application on false grounds then you can challenge their decision providing you got appeal right. Bear in mind if you visa is still valid you will not get appeal right instead you will get review right which I think usually takes usually 3-4 months or probably more.
If you think HO refused your application on genuine grounds then you need to wait first and then re-apply when you think those grounds have been resolved.

Thanks for the reply Arsal385

Refusal based on break in continuous residence and could not provide medical evidence. (More than 6 months outside the UK). Got right of appeal.

But if do a fresh application straight away after refusal (refusal in January 2015) then the 6 months can be separated into 2 different period of 12 months and hence no break in continuous residence.

The question is are you allowed to make a fresh application after a refusal or do you have to go through an appeal?

Please advise.

If you have got right of appeal then you can use it with your solid medical evidences. Bear in mind it may take several months to decide the appeal cases. Also due to new changes I am not sure if you can add new evidences in your appeal that you haven’t included in your application in the first place. For latest update on changes you need to take advice from a good solicitor.

If you are confident that there will be no break in your continuous residence now then you can make a fresh application, as stated above please ask solicitor if you can make a fresh application straight after your rejection whilst your visa already ran out. However, your waiting period for the outcome of SET LR application is a legitimate stay in the UK.

[shahfurqan]

hi guys i need ur help on very serious issue... what i not seen or heared on this forum

i applied on 4 august 2014
biometric enrolled 15 sep 2014

never called home office before december 2014
but in month of december i called home office three times
12 december,19 december and 31st december.
just asked HO rep nicely and politely about my case progress.

today about 30min ago i recieved letter dated 5th of january 2015. this letter is from department 84,liverpool
it says
"Dear Mr ---
We aim to process all our application within 6 months from the date submitted. However, in certain circumstances this target is not possible. Following our assessment of your case,unfortunately it appears your application will not be processed within 6 months target.
We expect to make a decision on your application by 05 February 2015, but we will write to you again if this is not going to be possible.

your sincerley,
----------------
LIVSET7 Home Office"
this is complete text of letter.
i m bit worried.
have they wrote me letter because i called them three times in last month or what plz
or may be in reality my case is complex so they need more time. plz guide me guys

@suraj,mate really sorry to hear that as anyone of us in your place would be feeling same as you are and this is quite natural but let it be clear that your case is a kind of complex but the letter they have sent it to you is the standard format letter which is intimating you that do not get worry if you do not receive your decision by 5th of february so it may take a month or twice late but not necessarily.mate you could do nothing at this occasion besides waiting with a big heart and pray for yourself and for us all but at the end you will get your approval.

[peace84]

@tsl,if an application which has been resubmitted within twenty eight days does not break the lawful continuous residence and the time starts when the letter of invalidity deemed to have been received by applicant.
