Maybe FLR(FP) maybe the best option.

Members are advised that i opened this thread to deal with the wholesale abuse of the Home Office dealing in relation to ETS cases. People cannot use this thread to discuss issues like EEA application or other matters unrelated to pending ETS litigation.

If this persist I will simply lock the thread.

Well there is hope. The fact that these cases are progressing through the Court of appeal, indicates there is hope.

you still have time if you try to find a better job for your wife to increase her earnings to £18600 then you are OK you will get your visa easily.

I guess thats the only possibility , but if he consider a second job like a night shift, and increases his total income, etc.

Hii all..i came uk on spouse visa in 20l4.i have submitted my application for my extension as flrm in april 2017.the decision came as refused because of toeic test.i never used any toeic test in my visa application and neither i took any toeic test in my life. But they still refused my application.we did appeal in October nd they give us hearing date 4th may. I am so stressed.i dont know y home office refused me on the basis of toeic.i used esol level a1 exam for my spouse visa nd esol a2 for extension..anybody had same experience or any idea plz reply.
Hi Harpsk,
My husband’s case is exactly the same as yours. His extension has been refused on the basis of a toeic exam he has no knowledge of and never took it. Your hearing is approaching so I’d be very keen to hear the outcome and anything you could share about the whole process.
Thanks

Hi Scott

That’s good news. Fingers crossed for you. Keep us posted on how it all goes. I can’t get over how long these cases take but I guess process is process.

Good luck!

Yeah you are right process is process but this toeic process is more of annoying one, Like when a candidate can speak english why would he cheat? a basic question. but its english govt, History tells how brutal they were; are
they don't care people r waiting for visa to get started with their lives but hey they get paid and they don't care i hate when they show on tele dogs and cats and donkeys etc to sponsor and save them when they don't even care about Human.
we all have families and its not just an individual stress its stress for the whole family,
anyways no offence guys Gook luck to every one here. please keep posted.
Respect

Hi Elaine

Exactly a week left from today, your case is winnable there is no doubt about it. I wish you all the best. After waitingindefinently and scott you will be the next who we will be missed in this forum. Of course after getting visa who is going to be here and read the stress full stories :(

Hello RaBilal

As per my understanding, Islam and Hossain cases are Tier 2 and will impact on pending tier 2 cases. As mine one is tier 2 refusal because of Toeic and I have received a letter from COA to wait until their case heard.

If your is Tier4 then it should decide in the light of Ahsan case. What is your solicitor's opinion?

Hey Elaine

I have no idea wat happens in UT. But I read a lot of decisions. Judges they respect each other’s decisions. If a judge is honest he will Past the same decision in UT And will dismiss HO appeal. just pray u get a good judge. Told by a very senior barrister.

@waitingindefinitely and other friends who were fighting for ETS long time

Nice to see we all are doing well even its taking long time. Its being a while i haven't post my update. I thought it would be nice to share my updated story with you as we started our ETS fight at the same time. my up to date time line is

I applied for face to face visa application on july 2017. got refused for ETS
Appealed against the decision on July 2017
Had hearing during October 2017 and won the appeal november 2017.
HO appealed against the decision November and got refused too from FTT
Then they asked for permission to UT on feburay 2018 but got refused that too.
They directly appealed UT on march 2018
In april 2018 I had a letter from UT saying HO has no right to go further , and after checking my papers they took decision without oral hearing and decision came on my favour.
NOW JUST WAITING GAME.. Don't know what will be next. So please don't loose your faith , keep fighting.
