hi everyone,
my husband is completing his 10 years in Feb 2016.
he came to UK with one year visa. but the collage was closed. so he continue to stay an applied to a different university before his visa expires. he got 3 years extension. due to money matters he couldnt carry on his studies so he had to leave the university and did not study for one and half years. after that he started a new course and completed it in 2011. now he is under my dependent visa.

we planning to go to premium service in January 2016.

he does not have any gaps but my question is would that be a issue the period he stayed without any studies?

much appreciated your help.

thanks

Hi,

came in UK in 05 october 2005. My all applications were on time and granted. Currently on Tier 1 Entrepreneur valid until March 2017. they have given me appeal rights.

On 22 February 2008 submitted in time application which was returned on 19 march 2008 asking for further documents that are following
1. Bank statement of my sponsor for last 3 months
2. Letter from my sponsor that he is supporting me in UK
3. Evidence that they have given me money
Home office letter state that “you must return the application using the enclosed return address label. If you do not return your application within 28 days in a manner that complies with all the above mentioned requirements, the application will be invalidated and the fees will be refunded”
Then I sent this application back to Home Office on 14 April 2008 with the application form valid on that date
Then on 9 may 2008 the Home office rejected the application again which was submitted on 14 April 2008 saying that the application must be made using the correct specified form. Keeping in mind the new application form was published on 28 April 2008 but the application was sent on 14 April 2008.

On 29 may 2008 I have sent the application with new application form that was valid for the applications made on or after 28 April 2008 as mentioned in the form but as the application was made on 14 April 2008 which is 14 days before they changed the application form. the application was approved on 24 august 2008

can anyone tell me what should i do? Should I appeal

thanks

@svatuk - You need professional advice but from what I believe you should be fine as long as you had valid leave when HSMP was refused because back in the days I remember people used to file for HSMP with valid leave by submitting docs first. Now if you were not granted HSMP and all other subsequent LTR were processed normally then there is no case of deception and moreover you have established private life in UK --you can argue that way in court if it comes down to it.Try to find a solicitor who deals with complex cases of ILR and discuss first all the costs involved including JR otherwise you ll be facing a huge bill plus VAT ( Govt wants it cut :mrgreen: ) like my friend .
Hi Survivor
Many thanks for the reply.
You are correct, I was having the valid visa when my HSMP rejected. Except this deception allegation all my record is clean. I have established my private life. Having family with two kids and all. Bought a house and doing a business and my wife is a IT professional. Do you know anyone who can deal these kind of cases most effectively.
Anyway what happened to your friend, you did mentioned at the end of your post.

Survivor 07
That is right once you withdrew an appeal, you will be making the new application as an over-stayer. That is why i stressed that the person should be certain about their immigration history.

In addition to this, if you decided to add your 10 years as additional ground, just have it in your mind that is 50/50. That means some judge will allowed it, while some will say you completed the 10 years after the application that was refused and they won't allow your appeal.

This decision is about taking a calculated risk. You should know the one that suit you.

So basically once the appeal is withdrawn and until the decision is reached on ILR app you mean to say the applicant is overstayer and at the mercy of UKBA.Please correct me if Im wrong.

@Mamuj -Date of entry to UK is your start date and you can apply 28 days before completion .

@Svatuk- What kind of deception are we talking about :)

Thanks for the reply

I have received my SAR few days ago with bunch of around 180 papers. One of them dated as back in November 2008 saying, I have used false bank statement in the application of hsmp entry clearance hence further visa applications will be refused until September 2018. I have submitted my uncles bank statement who was my sponsor. Actually I have withdrawn my HSMP entry clearance application voluntarily in September 2008 but the visa refusal letter saying November 2008. How can it be possible. HO processed my application after my withdrawal and returned documents?

I am worrying now to apply for my ILR LR. Any suggestions please..
