@ Zaidii,
''Now the situation is I will complete my 10 years November 2014
If I don't get permission to go to UT what options do I have in order to keep my long term residency chain valid till November ?''
My advice is as follows on the condition that your business is presently trading;
(1) If you don't get permission to apply to UT from FTT, then submit an application to the UT for permission to appeal to the UT by completing form IAUT -1 and lodged with the UT no later than seven working days after the date on which the FTT refusal of permission was sent to you. This might take another 4-6weeks and If this permission is then refused then proceed to;
(2) Appeal directly to the UT and if UT also dismiss your appeal, then
(3) Apply direct to the Court of Appeal for permission to appeal
An application can only be made direct to the appropriate appellate court after first being refused or granted permission to appeal by the Upper Tribunal.
Court of Appeal
An application to the Court of Appeal must be made using form N161, and must be made within 28 days of service of the decision of the Upper Tribunal refusing or granting permission to appeal.
If you follow the above advice, you will end up completing your 10yrs long residency before the third stage at the court of appeal and you can then add your 10yrs long residency as another ground of your appeal and the judge will have no choice than to allow your appeal at this stage.
I will advice you to consult professional lawyers with this plan and hear their opinion on the possibility.
The key to success is knowledge and hardwork, and to have faith.
