Hi,

#Survivor07

I am sorry that kind of unfortunate happened.

Would you like to share that case and applicant immigration history?

I know most of them happened and might be still happening because of TOEIC issue.

Thanks

Survivor that person might just be unfortunate, or probably tell them to tell you full story, i mean immigration history.
With the solicitors telling you to wait till appeal date, have they told you what will happen if your appeal is not allowed. The story is you are back to being an overstayer then you will make your ilr as an overstayer.

if your appeal is allowed, then you wait for HO to decide if is going to appeal against it or not. if they decided not to appeal then you wait for about 6 months for them to issue you the visa.

if you are satisfy with your immigration history withdraw the appeal, request for the withdrawal using tribunal email, that will be faster. if your employer is around your neck use premium that way you can get it around 2 weeks. if not use the postal, but my advise if you have money go to that premium, you will spent less going through the appeal process.

Hi all,
i am going to apply for ILR 10 years based next year in march. currently i am holding entrepreneur visa which will be finished april 2016. now my question is :-

1. shall i need to show any business document with my ILR application ?

[janazaif]

So what is the safe option
Apply same day when withdrawal confirmation arrive?
Apply same day when you fax for withdrawal of appeal?
Apply by post within 28 days?
Apply by premium service within 28 days?

[Survivor07]

-----Heads Up-------------

I know of a confirmed case in Aug'15 wherein the applicant applied for FLR FP and was immediately refused however given the right of appeal. But before the applicant could lodge and get confirmation of appeal the UKBA enforcement team rammed through his front door and locked him up in detention centre. The applicant was in there for sometime and was released after his lawyer filed for Judical Review.

The time period between refusal and application for appeal and withdrawal of appeal and fresh application makes the applicant very vulnerable and contingency plans should be in place to deal with any eventuality.

[Makbrumiz]

Hi,

I totally agree with you to choose the safest way but you have option to do that.

Well I'm just sharing my views & Inshallah as soon as I receive decision I'll definitely share with you guys.

Today story: I went to solicitor with my friend. He's is same scenario to withdraw appeal & submit SET (LR). He was saying, if you withdraw your appeal "might be case worker consider you are overstayed when your visa got refused" believe or not I was literally argue with him. How can you say that? 3C & 3D cover his time period while he's in appeal & his 3C will ends when he withdraw his appeal. I told him to check long residency guidance & also 3C & 3D rules as well.

Now he is going to withdraw his appeal tomorrow & submitting his SET(LR) application tomorrow.

Please take legal advice before taking any step. Every person & individual case has different circumstances.

Thanks

Hi,

I withdrawn my appeal and submitted my "ILR" application after confirming from court about my appeal withdrawn. (Still Waiting my Decision)

BUT my friend has in same scenario because his solicitor saying wait till appeal hearing but unfortunately his appeal hearing has not come yet.

I do not know, why are solicitors making kind of this confusion? you can read 3C and 3D rules where you can read, withdraw your application and confirm from court and submit your application on same day but on "ILR" guidance say that you can add "Priority" letter with your appeal hearing bundle to court.

Even I seen a lot of guys withdrawn an appeal and submitted "IRL" application and got visas on this forum and Google timeline.

Please Obie, Amber, Vinny and any other senior moderator put some light on it.

Thanks

Thank you makbrumiz for the reply. I will be waiting for the updates from your application. I am sometimes thinking that the solicitor is trying to he safe here and sometimes think that they want to delay the process so that they generate more revenues out of us. Don't really understand what they want.

Anyways when did you submit your ILR applucation? As in how long has it been? Have you given the biometrics?

Thanks again

One of my friend withdrawn his appeal and got approval in 12 weeks.
What solicitor talking also right .
But now you can go for same day service .. Within 28 days of withdrawal your application .
So you can get visa on same day, sometimes they tell that they doesn't have your passport and may take 2-3 weeks.

If you wait judge to redirect the case to home office it may take upto one year as your hearing date still after 3 month.

I am not a legal advisor just sharing some experiences .

If you have no gap or issues in your last 10 years


Then better withdraw appeal and book peo same day at Sheffield


But only if you are confident that there is no gap in last 10 years or overstaying

Hi all, my tier 4 application was rejected with a right of appeal. I appealed HO's with the help of a solicitor and got a hearing date in January 2016. But I have already qualified for the 10 years long residence on the 2nd of september this year. As far as I know, now I can withdraw the appeal and apply for 10 years long residence as my stay is legal.

Now the problem is my solicitor is saying that It is better to wait till the appeal date and tell the judge to direct the HO to consider my 10 year application on the day of hearing. And he is telling me that there is a risk of application being refused if I withdraw the appeal and put the 10 year application as he is saying that there is changes in rules for the cases of my type.

I am really confused here about whether to wait till january 2016 or apply now and also the genuineness of risk which my solicitor is talking about as I have never heard about it.

I need some good suggestions please.

Thanks in advance

Thank you smir for the quick reply. Yes i don't have any gap in my continuous residence. It is now hopefully clear that that I can withdraw my appeal anytime now and can apply for the 10 years long residence. But I don't want to go for a premium service and want to post my application. Will there be any issues?

Thanks again

Arsal385,
Many thanks for the feedback and Advice. It makes good sense. I have requested the SAR, do you know how long normally it takes to get SAR info? Would you think if SAR says "no valid visa for "x" period of time (during which my appeal was under consideration) then ILR application has more chances of refusal and if SAR doesn't say such thing or appeal under consideration then it there are good chances with ILR application?

many thanks again for the feedback.

Kind Regards,

SAR usually takes 40 calendar days to arrive. SAR contains huge amount of detailed information. Including case worker remarks on your previous applications, court decision on your appeal etc. There is one summary table which contains information like when was your visa expired and when did you apply for your extension and if there is any gap between two visas, it usually states the reason. Its too early to say anything at the moment, you will need to have a thorough look at your record and decide whether you are OK to apply for ILR without any problem or not.

Many thanks for the information.
