Section 3C

Post by Hassan Rasheed » Mon Nov 06, 2017 11:21 pm

Hi Zimba,
I applied my visa extension in June 2016 which refused in Feb2017.
I applied A.R within 14 days, AR refused.
Than I applied extension fresh application within 14 days after AR refused.My Application approved on 01/11/17 valid till 01/11/2019.

My question about Section 3C Leave, Does my Continuity break OR not ?

ILR Applicant can apply after 5 years from Date of issue visa date OR after 5 years from date of arrival in UK ?

I believe you're fine to apply for ILR anytime after June 2018 :) :)

You have overstayed but the period will be ignored for ILR

Because the rules allow them to discard that period of overstaying :!:

Hi Hassan and Rochelle
Please would you like to share your immigration history.
And after rejection which visa did you switch in to save 3c ? I am in quite a similar situation and extremely worried. I will really appreciate if you can share any information.
Thank you.

Hi Hassan Rasheedh,

On the ILR guidance for case workers, there is a paragraph explaining what BREAKS are allowed. Since you made the fresh application within 14 days, your overstay will be disregarded (as Zimba rightly pointed out).

However, the ILR requirements also needs "being economically active", so I wonder if you were considered economically active after your Section 3C ended.

It will be great if the moderators can shed some light on to this.

My case is identical to Rasheedhs.
