Thx

[Basra]

@zee Ali.
Thanks....it's really helpful for me...

[Zee ali]

@zee Ali.
But in my SAR they mention my application was in time.....if my application was out of time then I was overstay that period until my visa issued date? Home office will consider break continuety my 10 years years? What is your advice on it?
Regards

should be out of time. cant say anything more unless see the document myself. I had one out of time application in 2007. 9 days out of time and clearly mentioned in GCID that application is out of time.

If an application is out of time but within 28 days of expiry of the visa or 3c. Even let say it take 1 year to decide and visa granted at the end than your continuity does not break and all that time counts legal.

Hope this help.

Did u request SAR (immigration history)?

I think they should consider your JR period continuing as they wrongly refused and grant u visa at the end.

Hi,

I have a question to clarify whether the following will be considered as a break in continous residence.

All my visa extensions or visa applications were done in the UK, except one. My visa expiry date was 31 January 2010. I went back Sri Lanka on 09th January and made an application for visa renewal. I submitted all the documents for visa renewal on 21st of January (before expiry date 31/01/2010). Visa was issued on 09 February and I got the passport around 20th of February and travelled back to the UK on 25th Feb.
My question is, the gap between 31st January and 09th February (or 31st Jan to 25th Feb) - will it be considered as a break in continuous residence in the UK?

Regards,
SJ

Guys, Mine is sad news I'm afraid but I had to share it anyway. I have updated the google timeline as well. My ILR application was refused because of a break in the 10 year residence. I have the right to appeal but I am considering going back home.

The decision is based on the following:
0n 29 December you applied for leave to remain under tier 1 post study, on 22 January 2010 your application was refused. You lodged an appeal on 15 February 2010, which was heard on 06 April and dismissed on 9 April, 2010. On 22 April 2010 permission to appeal to the first tier was sought, but refused on 14 May, 2010. On 26 may 2010 you became appeal rights exhausted
On 27 May you became an overtayer in the UK
On 28 May 2010 you submitted an out of time application, but within 28 days, for leave to remain as tier 4 student, on 05 July 2010 your application was refused without a right of appeal.
On 27 august 2010 you submitted an out of time application for leave to remain as a tier 4 student , On 14 October 2010 your application was refused without right of appeal. On 24 January your application was considered and the decision was maintained. on 17 January 2012 you were granted leave to remain until 01 November 2013

However, one thing they fail to mention is that on 17 Jan 12 when the granted me the visa it was after their withdrawal from the Judicial review process that I had lodged and I was refunded all the cost. If anyone been through this kind of situation pls let me know?

@SEL7 Sorry to hear that man. U never mentioned this before that u were refused 2 to 3 times in a row. Its a clear break in your continuity.

First out of time application 28 may 2010 refused 5th july 2010. (within 28 days from section 3c ends). 39 days gap.


than u applied again out of time on 27 august 2010 (53 gaps from 1st out of time refusal)

If u argue in court that when u applied 2nd out of time (27 augutst 2010) u got the visa eventually on 17 january 2012 through judicial review process.

But how u defend previous gaps 39 days and 53 days?

Yes it is quite messy. After refusal for permission to appeal to the first tier I took it for judicial review but what I don't understand is why they kept considering my other application while the appeal process was ongoing. From my understanding I thought all the gaps were covered as legal.

Got through to them. Woman told me no record of her application. Which means her mom didn't send it (mom was the one who paid for it but obviously didn't do it, lied to us and told us she did). So there's that. Thanks for all your help anyway.

hmm, made a post but it's not showing up

Anyway. Tried calling. Automated voice service said it basically can't help me. Tried email them using appointmentenquiries@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk

Is this the right email? So sick of this and ready to give up. Seems like they don't want to help you, they're really hard to get hold of.

I sent an email inquiring with all my wife's details since we don't have case ID - such as name, DoB, address etc. and told them if it's a case of being lost in the post, please resend to new correspondence address - also done an online form submitting new address. Just nervous to see what's happened and ready to give up a bit.

Hope this works, too. What if they don't reply? Does anyone know how long they normally take to get back to you via email? And is that definitely the right email address?

Violetta have told you if you really want to know what is happening asked your MP for help. They are really making contacting them difficult, if they manage to pick your call they won't tell you anything, instead they will tell you someone will call you back. The email you use is about appointment, i doubt if they will reply. Am telling you this because have had to use my MP when i couldn't get any information from the call centre and in less than a week i heard back from HO.

Hello all,

would really appropriate it if someone could help me with the follow questions regarding to the application form:
The long residence application form asking for doctor's letter showing registration for each year of your stay....? I've only be registered with three and sometimes move around cities makes it difficult to register every year , I am guessing if I try to obtain letters from previous GPs, it would not be high on their priority, which would take long time.

Also withr egards to council tax and utility bills, it is the same thing, especially, when i lived in a shared household, sometimes the rent is all bills inclusive....

Could anyone let me know how important is it for me to provide all the documentations required in the application form:
- everyyear council tax bill
- every year gas, electricity, gas
- every year doctor regisration letter
- Employer's letter confirming the dates during which you have been employed,
- Full birth certificates shown parents names (not even sure if i have one as they didn't issue these back in the days..)
- letter from department for work and pensions

Hi ...
U dont need to provide all these documents for long residence application.
If you read the form carefully then you will realize that u only need these documents to prove that you are living in UK for last 10 years if u dont have all of ur passports during 10 years.
Regards
Khan

Dear all,

My PEO appointment is on 14th August. I have couple of questions to clarify before I go for my appointment. Please help me.

1) My appointment is exactly 28 days before I complete 10 years (my arrival date 10//09/2005). Counting backwards from 10th September 2015 (including that date), my appointment date 14th August is exactly 28 days. Would this be a problem? should I be within 28 days?

2) My second question is regarding a visa renewal which I did in 2010. All my visa extensions or visa applications were done in the UK, except this one. My visa expiry date was 31 January 2010. I went back Sri Lanka on 09th January and made an application for visa renewal. My appointment was before 31st Jaunary 2010, where I submitted all my documents. Visa was issued on 09 February and I got the passport around 20th of February and travelled back to the UK on 25th Feb.
My question is, the gap between 31st January and 09th February - will it be considered as a break in continuous residence in the UK?

This makes me nervous and if this will be considered as break, then I won't be able to apply for SET(LR). Dear senior members and gurus your help would be highly appreciated.
