Your questions are too broad and complex. This topic is about members who are challenging HO in court re ETS.

Please continue in the topic link I have posted.

hi guys,

can I request the spreadsheet from ETS lookup tool under SAR?

thanks
Kalex,
Did you manage to find out if you could get the spreadsheet? I would imagine this may not be shared as it contains many people’s information but if you did please let us know. I’ve asked Out solicitor about this too - pending response.
Well GeetL no i am still searching for an answer. I read so many appeal cases on upper tribunal website and in almost all the cases home office has provided the spreadsheet from lookup tool.

Based on the description provided in those cases
I believe the document is just about applicant test.

There are so many people who have already filed there appeals and some of them has attended the hearings as well. Guys could you please comment how the document look like and is it just about applicant?

Thanks
Hi Kalex

I have found out the spreadsheet is in fact a mark sheet that shows your name and test results broken down by speaking listening etc. Hope this helps.

Hi Everyone,

Thank you so much for your support on this forum
I wish all of you good luck in your cases
I have received the visa last month after two year struggle please see below.......

MY Tier 2 Extension was refused in October 2016, with no right of Appeal on the basis of Toeic, Test took in 2012, although I never used the test for any extension.

Came here on Tier 4:May 2011
Took Toeic Test July 2012 (Never used in any Extension)
Extension Tier 4: Aug 2012
Tier 2 Visa: Aug 2013
Interview about Toeic: July 2015
During Video Interview
She asked following few questions
• How did you find this Course
• How did you booked
• How you paid
• How long did it take
• How many other candidates
• How you did the Preparation

(At the end She apologized for inconvenience caused to me because I never used this test in any extension and she was satisfied from my answers)
After I travelled abroad they never stop me.

Refused Extension Tier 2: Oct 2016 (Because of Toeic)
Refused Admin Review : Nov 2016
Pre action Protocol Letter sent: Dec 2016
1st Response : Dec 2016 (HO asked for an Extension)
2nd Response : Jan 2017 (HO asked for 2nd Extension )
3rd Response : Feb 2017 (HO asked Final Extension)

After final Extension deadline no response, file the JR case because only have 3 month to file the case in court after refusal date

JR Submission in Court: Feb 2017

HO reply to Court : April 2017 (HO need an extension for submitting the Defence Summary)

Court refused permission of J: Sep 2017
Applied for Oral Hearing and got Permission for JR: Dec 2017
(My solicitor requested to HO copy of the interview about toeic took place in 2015 and presented in the court at the time of oral hearing)
Home office requested to withdraw the JR application they want to reconsider the case with in 3 month: March 2018

Documents Received: August 2018.

Thanks again

Regards
Anas
hello everyone I been fighting toeic case for 5 years. I am married to British citizen and recently I have won my appeal in ftt on human rights grounds and ho didn't appeal against it. 2 days ago I have received a letter from ho saying I have been granted leave to remain Alhamdulillah. any idea how long it will take to get the BRP card?

home office asked for my recent passport size photo and i have sent it straight way. I'm just wondering how long they take to issue the BRP card.
I have been going to reporting as well so I called them to find out if I still have to go for reporting and they said I don't need to go anymore they have cancelled my reporting.

I have been in the UK for 9years came as a tier 4 student. I have always made in time application untill HO accused me of toeic deception.
if I was granted visa on human rights ground does 10 years route apply to me? do I get my continuation back? and if I apply for visa detention will ho refuse again on toeic ground? if anyone know about this please let me know.

whoever fighting toeic case I wish everyone good luck. keep fighting and don't give up you will success at the end InshaAllah.

Hi Sandeep & Anabaat

I'm like you both still waiting to hear anything, as far as I understand and after consulting my barrister we should receive a letter from the court which will give us an option to choose from either apply for a fresh application based on human rights or carry on with our JR .
This has been going for over 4 months now ,I have called up the court for few times but don't receive any useful answer , they keep telling me still in queue :(

Hi Ali

My hearing is next month, when is yours? I haven't been asked any questions, but many people post the questions on this forum like Anas wrote in his post the following questions have been asked at the hearing

• How did you find this Course
• How did you booked
• How you paid
• How long did it take
• How many other candidates
• How you did the Preparation

I would add more based on others' experience, judge will ask why you paid in cash, why you did not paid through bank? Did you receive any receipt? Lot more questions about test they will ask. So you should well prepared about how the test was, test pattern etc

Thanks
Ana

Hello Ali

I'm sure I had paid £180 (£90 for each set). Both sets have the same fee. Please confirm with others.

I will definitely share my experience the day of hearing. I hope everything will go fine. Please remember me in your duas.

Hello guys
I been reading this from last one year. No idea what gonna happen to us. I applied for iLR after 3 years of marriage just after proceeding my divorce my partner left uk for her home country. HO refused my application that my divorce is not fainalised yet so I’m still a family member of EEA and I didn’t provide my partner original ID/Passport. So I appeal HO decision and hearing was 6september 2018. Just before 4 days of hearing HO served the tribunal with toeic bundle against me which I did in 2012. I adjourned the court as I wasn’t ready for this to be questioned. Now my hearing in March 2019.
Anyone out there have an idea could home office bring this toeic issue under the EU applications? Really confused about it.
Good luck everyone

Hi Peter
I never heard they directly call to the client if the matter is dealing via solicitor. please make sure they contact your solicitor and barrister. How they will remove the toeic allegation. Reconsideration means will they remove the deception?

My case is also related to Islam and hossain. But I have two allegation one toeic second vanacey is not genuine. I got the hearing in Ftt this month once I clear the toeic then they deal with the second point. GLD wrote to my solicitor today and toeic issue will be dealt in FTT.
