I applied for Tier 1 Post Study visa on 8th Oct 2009. My visa has been refuse from British Embassy in Bangkok on 16th Oct 2009. The reason of refusal was because I overstayed in UK. Its my second time.
You were refused Leave To Remain (LTR) in UK on 17/03/2009 with limited right of appeal as your application was made out of tie. However you failed to leave the UK and become subject to a removal order. You departed the UK on 20/06/2009. Your application has therefore been refused under paragraph 320(7b) for having previously breached the UK’s immigration laws by being an overstaying. Any future applications will also be automatically refused, for the same reason, under paragraph 320(7b) of immigration rules for the following (1) years since you departed the UK (17/03/2009). You therefore do not meet the requirements to be granted entry clearance under Tier 4 (General Student and I refuse your application under paragraph 245x of the immigration Rules
The first time I applied was in UK. My student visa was expired 31st December2008. I sent my application on 29th Dec 2008 to UK Border. A few days later, I got letter and all of my documents from Home Office saying that they couldn’t take a payment from my card. I needed to send a new payment method. I was sure that the card detail was correct.
I resend my visa application again on 12th Jan 2009, as it was during new year, I was away from home. I did not realise that it was count as refresh a new application. So, my visa was out of time.
On 17th March 2009, I got letter and my documents back from Home Office. They said my visa was refuse. Because I did not score for the maintenance funds and I submitted my application after my visa expired. However, they did not give my passports back. I was informed to contact Local Enforcement Office in Great Manchester. I did contact them straight away. Office said they did not receive my passport from UK Border in Sheffield. Officer asked me to call back again next week. I kept calling them every week. They still did not have my passports.
On 6 May 2009, I received the letter from UK Border Agency in Salford M50 2GF (IS15IA Letter) I called them, the officer said I need to book flight and then call them again to book appointment to come into UK Border Office to sign forms. I did as I was advised, so I got my passports at the check-in at the airport.
I need to send administrative review before 13th November 2009. I am not sure if I need to get Immigration Consultant or I can send it by myself. If I send it myself, any chance I will get visa? I dont really want to pay for the solicitor, its quite expensive
Anyone please help xxx
