Sushdmehta, Geenie

I received the following clarification from HO Migration Policy (Sheffield):

"the requirement for an applicant switching from Tier 4 to Tier 2 to have current valid leave overrides the general rule relating to the 28 day period. A switching application would be refused if they did not have current leave."

However, I still think that the addition of sub-clause (p) introduced an ambiguity into 245HD and if a judge also thinks so he/she is likely to rule in the migrant's favour on appeal.

There is further confirmation that 245HD(p) does not apply to migrants switching from T4 to T2G:

Sushdmehta, Greenie

What I reckoned was an ambiguity/conflict between the present 245HD(b)(ii) and 245HD(p) has been recognised/resolved in the Statement of Changes laid before Parliament today, coming into effect on 6 April:

53. In paragraph 245HD(b)(ii), delete “have current entry clearance, leave to enter or leave to remain which has not expired, as:” and substitute “have, or have last been granted, entry clearance, leave to enter or leave to remain as:”.

So 245HD(p) prevailed!

My visa has been refused from T4 to T2 G coz I applied my visa 15 days after my T4 leave expires. I gain all the 70 points but my refusal letter said your visa has been refused on "Non Point Reason of refusal" (245HD(b)).

UKBA keep my documents including passport , what is the best suggestion in this situation.

After reading this topic I am confused if i am able to switch from tier 4 to tier 2 within 28 days of getting refusal. I have a right to appeal I am thinking of appealing just to try my luck because it was my sponsors mistake. My solicitor told me that we have a chance to make ukba re consider my application if judge agrees with that.

You do not Satisfy the requirements of the immigration rules for this category and it has been decided to refuse your applicaion for leave to remain as a Tier-2(General) Migrant under paragraph 245HD of immigration rules as you do not meet the requirement at paragraph 245HD(b)

I scanned refusal letter but i couldn't find any option to attach that letter; it is like 3 a4 size pages.

Is it possible I ask my company to give me restricted CoS to apply from my home country(Pakistan); What will be the salary criteria in that case and how long will it take to get visa from Pakistan??? thanks
