First of all, i'm not Nigerian and even if i was why the nigerian embassy???Casa wrote: ↑Sat Jan 26, 2019 6:55 pmWhy the Nigerian Embassy comment? Member mrssam has been granted leave by the Home Office.
I have been in that situation where i was facing deportation, my passport had expired and HO tried to get an ETD for me but the embassy had to seek my permission first, i refused to have my ETD processed as a result the HO never pursued the matter and all they did was frustrate me just by not allowed to work etc, but if you're the detainee do not give your embassy the permission they won't be able to deport you at all, even if they put you in detention you can actually file a lawsuit against them because they can only detain someone with the intention to depot.. check this articleAmber_aziz wrote: ↑Sun Jan 27, 2019 5:20 pmCR001CR001 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 25, 2019 7:00 amThe WhatsApp message is false and not true.

Nothing "weird" about being asked to enrol biometrics and it doesn't mean anything other than why it is, to enrol biometrics. All applicants for any visa etc have to enrol biometrics before HO even start looking at and processing their application.
Perhaps you missed the recent news article about WhatsApp putting in restrictions on users sending multiple recipients bad quality messages.
I have question for you.
When HO while they 're in processing to deport someone to their home country.
How HO get their emergencey travel document from their embaseey without detaninee permission and their concent ?????
Just asking for my knowledge ??

Thank you london22, I contacted home office via Phone again today this morning. they took my details and told me that they will get back to me via email in 5 working days with the progress update, however, they replied just now with this.London22 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 15, 2019 2:21 pmHi Matewaitinglad wrote: ↑Tue Jan 15, 2019 1:30 pmLondon22 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 5:34 pmIf you tell me which country are you from and have you committed any serious crime and have you obtained passport of your country of origin and travelled on it to your country or any other ,it will come out why are they taking so long.waitinglad wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 9:38 amDear fellow member,
I just wanted to share some information.
I reached out to my local MP, regarding my ILR application that was made on 22nd June 2018. as you can tell it has now been over 6 months. I Wrote to my MP in the beginning of december 2018 and they enquired on my behalf and HO came back with this response. can the expert please shed some light on it.
(Dear xxxxx,
Further to previous correspondence, please see below the response MP has received from UK Visas and Immigration concerning your case:
"Dear Ms xxx,
Thank you for your email correspondence of 6 December on behalf of Mr xxxx of xxxx, about his application for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR).
As you are aware, Mr xxxx submitted an application for ILR on 25 June. This application remains outstanding. Although our service standard for deciding ILR applications is 6 months, this is sometimes not possible. I can confirm that this is the case with Mr xxxx's application.
It may be helpful to explain that applications can often be deemed as complex in nature for a number of reasons. Delays in deciding applications are often due to issues relating to the European Convention on Human Rights which are complex in nature. Additionally, in order to conclude an application, a number of additional checks with external government departments must be completed which can also result in us being unable to complete an application for ILR within our 6 month service standard.
I can confirm that when an application is made in-time, before the expiry of existing leave, an applicant remains in the UK on the terms and conditions of their previous leave until a decision is made on the new application, even if the decision is not made until their previous leave has expired. This is because they are covered by Section 3C of the Immigration Act 1971, which preserves the applicant's existing conditions of leave, including any conditions permitting them to take employment, until their application is decided (or they withdraw their application or leave the UK). Because Mr xxxx's application for ILR was made before his previous Leave expired, he is covered by 3C. I can confirm that Mr xxxx's employer, xxxxxxxxxxxxx, used the Employer Checking Service in July, which confirmed his right to work in the UK whilst his application is outstanding.
Please assure Mr xxxx that we will contact him as soon as a decision has been made on his application." )
I would be thankful to you guys with some feedback on this. Thanks in advance.
I think they cant refuse you as if that was the case they would have done it until now .It will be interesting to share the info I requested.I am going to apply for my ILR next month so it will be interesting and informative to know .
Dear London22,
Thank you for your reply. I can confirm that, I have not commited any crime, I have not obtained passport/ID of my country, I am from Pakistan and I have not travelled to my country or any other country for that matter. I Have been working in heath sector for the past 4 years and before that in the university.
However, I had CCJ for no payment of rent which was issued in 2014. for which i have declared on the application.
hope this helps?
regards, Waitinglad
Dont worry ccj cant stop you getting ILR as it is a civil matter and yes it can have impact on nationality application with limited threshold that only a stubborn caseworker can do that.Your case is stronger if your reasons for asylum still stand the same as of the time of grant and also there is no protection in your country because of your specific circumstances that made you to seek international protection.If they refuse you Im sure you will win it on appeal .Just hope for better .The way the grant of asylum is hard the more hard is to cease it on the other hand too.Goodluck.

Don't worry you will be fine you haven't vomit any serious crime.
These are minor offence.
You will be alright as long as you let them know.
FPN don't go to your criminal record.
These are like civil offence.
.
Could you please let as know when you get you ILR.
1 more thing do you know if HO contatct Pakistani embassy if s9meone renew the passport ??????
Has this happened to anybody else, that no priority option was given at the end of the application???saamna wrote: ↑Fri Feb 01, 2019 10:39 pmHello members! I submitted my ILR application today, in the end it didn't give me the option for any of the priority services, but as soon as I submitted received an email , asking for the documents to be sent via post to the address at the end of the check list, which again needed to be marked and signed along with the required/supporting documents. At the end page was the biometric document to be downloaded and taken to the nearby postoffice , I did that today aswell.. as working weekend and then the whole of next week.

There is no priority Service for ILR Set P, when i applied for my mum i wasn't given any priority service option..so its just normal ...and i guess you selected the existing service that is why you have to post the documents to Home office right ?
No there is not.

I have applied today and booked new service that is too busy and they have taken £60 for service and gave me a date after 2 weeks for biometrics and other supporting documents to send to ukvi.
I think there is no particular difference between the two .As I have obtained passport of my home country so after contemplation I decided to let them know .In supporting documents I will mention compelling reasons in returning back home and hope ukvi will understand.I have been thinking too much whether to tell them or not so final decision made.With the will of Allah ,I will be fine.
Goodluck to everyone.
BTW London22; what's the benefit of the new service, is it that decision will be made quicker for you? Cz looks like my paper work and biometrics were quicker than urs, though I chose the existing service.saamna wrote: ↑Sat Feb 02, 2019 7:44 pmAll shall be fine InshAllah...

Good luck I will pray for you.
Please let me know when you hear any update from HO
I have a letter from the home office that kind of says that despite entering illegally, if you were granted refugee status without the need of appeals, you would still count as "abiding by the good character law".sevntythree2 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 03, 2019 4:58 pmHello everyone,
I will soon apply for refugee permanent residence (settlement protection) , and I have a question about the criminal record part of the application. I have a criminal record, as I arrived at the UK without a valid travel document to apply for asylum but I was stopped by the immigration officer and transferred to the court. I pled guilty at the court and I was in prison for three months. I was granted refugee status while in prison. My conviction was entering the UK without a valid travel document. I would like to know the following:
1. Will this record affect my ability to get permanent residence?
2- if my my refugee leave to remain expires at the end of January when is the deadline to submit my application for indefinite leave to remain ? and is it only online or can be done by post office too ?
and also how long does it take to get an answer ?
3. As I was in prison before I was granted refugee status, do I still need to say 'yes' on the application form to the question that asks if you have any criminal convictions?
4. Is there any way to clear this record?
5. If it can be cleared, how long does it take to clear this criminal record, and with who?
6. Will this affect applying for U.K. citizenship?
7. Does anybody have a similar case? Please, I need help urgently.
Please note, I am due to apply at the end of December as my 5 years' refugee visa is expiring at the end of January.
Thank you very very much in advance..
Happy new year all
thank you again
Hello.hassan21uk wrote: ↑Thu Feb 07, 2019 9:39 pmHere is my current application case:
Leave to Remain ends: 28 April 2019
I am supposed to apply: 28 March 2019
I applied online: 21 January 2019
HO ack letter: 22 January 2019
Biometrics taken: 31 January 2019
I am currently waiting for news. Also, as you can see, I applied 2 months before the date I am supposed to apply on, but I provided reasons as to why they should allow it (I have friends who did exactly the same and still got their ILR approved before their Leave to Remain even expired, that's the dream haha).
Some extra information: I am Lebanese, and so were my friends who applied early. from the hundreds of pages on here I saw people mention that different nationalities are treated differently due to the relations between the nations, the current events happening, and maybe even the embassy's speed of cooperation (if that's a thing).
So I'll keep you posted to see if nationality does in fact play a role or not.
Hi,
