The reason is that - I had an application on 22nd January 2007 for SEGS and they could not take money from the credit card. They refused the application on 24 january and gave 28 days to re-apply. Unfortunately, i did not receive the latter with my document. at the beginning of March 2007 i have called HO that I did not here anything and they replied they have sent the application long ago and could not gave any ref how can i get.. asked me to contact royal main..I contact and collect..I called HO again that 28 days is already over they say just fill the payment page and send the document..I got visa..
I applied SAR…and it says that in the summary there is no overstay for more than 28 days..but the application acceptance and rejection was mentioned on the time line..
I have been here 9 years as student 1 year SEGS and did MSc with Distinction and just completed PhD…
Any advice, help or how to appeal..or anyone been through such situation…please please…christmas holiday is approaching.
Hello guys,
Following my above post. My appeal was allowed by the judge on 20 March 2014..So far I have not hard anything form HO..I called them this morning and the lady said the application is not with the case worker yet..I called my lawyer, he said he will write a letter to HO regarding this matter.
During my conversation with HO, I told them the time line for the court determination to got to case worker is 4 weeks and she said "There is no time-line!".
This really important to the visa ASAP..it's been 8 month since the application..can't wait anymore..need to get a job..get my life back!
Hello super ,
Can we know your timeline please ?
I also had a invalid application due to the payment long time back in 2007 for which i don't have any HO letters with me at the moment , probably i have thrown them away during house moved ....bit worrying about it though ...
thanks
My timeline is -
ILR application: 05/08/2013
Bio done 14/08/2013
ILR refused: 17/12/2013
Court Hearing: 12/03/2014

Hi Khanzada khan,
As Amber rightly answered you that any one applying for their dependants after 06th April 2014 will be under the new rules, hence a 2.5 years visa after the FLR(M) which could be extended to a total of 5 years, so that they could spend that as their qualifying period for their SET(M) for indefinite leave to remain.
In your case your Mrs is pre July 2012, and though rules are quite clear but you know, with the quality of case workers that you get at the Home Office, just yesterday two members who applied for their dependants, who were pre July 2012, and pre 06th April 2014 got completely different visas, one got a 2 year under old rules, and another got a 2.5 years under new rules. I mean to say you never know if you get lucky and get a 2 years one. Please keep following the cases on this forum and that will give you a clear idea of what is happening.
All the best.
Kind regards
Shahjee
