Dear Members, Need some advice on behalf of a family friend who lives and are Cyprus nationals. There Grandmother used to work for the United Nations and British army in London and was granted british nationality but then she left and resided in Cyprus and the kids never got a chance to claim it. An...

Hi Ginu, I totally agree with Kent1234 on the above to involve your local media, get as such attention and make as much noise as possible. You have nothing to lose in that, you should complain to the parliament ombudsman and get your employer involved also. They have violated your human rights, this...

Hi Guys, I strongly recommend all those people waiting over a year to ask your employers to write to the HO and get visa status updates. We should create as much pressure as possible on the HO, when employers start writing it would show that British businesses are struggling and suffering because of...

Hi I think its works fine as i check it daily and it says awaiting decison, last updated on the 13 JUNE. When it got updated on the 13th June, I got a questionnaire regarding my income and then got an another letter on the 23 AUGUST asking for my SA302's. Since then no correspondence from the HO. Ma...

Hi Donny,

Strongly recommend to get an MP involved if you haven't till now, the HO is not above law and how do they expect us to function without having a visa.

Write a letter to the complains department as well, knock on every door. don't leave them at all were paying for a service.

Hi Guys, I posted my self-employment questionnaire on the 13 July and yesterday I got another letter from the HO saying as per there records i have amended my tax records and should send them the SA302's before and after amendment of tax. I have already mentioned twice in my application and in the q...

My wife and daughter's ( born in the UK) visa expires with me on the 28th October 2017, they are the on Tier 1 General Dependent Visa. If I don't get a decision by the 28th October what shou...

Hi
As far as I'm aware HMRC do not update SA302's for any years other the previous tax year.

Ho do not take amendments lightly and expect a bumpy ride.

best of luck

Hi Donny,

They are taking a lot of time specially for the Tier 1 General applications, would strongly recommend to get a MP involved and also keep sending them reminders/ letters to inquire about the case.

Did you supply them with the SA302's??

Many Thanks
Sal

Hi

HO can now take 12 weeks from the date of application for the biometrics letter to be sent, acknowledgment letter is now attached with the biometrics.
as long as your monies have left nothing to worry about as application process has started.

Hi

It does work with the royal mail tracking number, awaiting decision.

lets hope for the best

Hi Itexpert, What i don't seem to understand that if it was an exceptional circumstance which according to you even the home office recognize then why did you do a tax amendment? and if you had to do then it should be unchallenged in court. I don't see any issues with your JR, get a good lawyer who ...

Hi Simz82,

Nothing at all, dead as a doornail lol

Haven't even received an acknowledgment email. its been over 5 weeks now but they were quick in taking the funds which was deducted on the 7th April.

Consider yourself lucky as me and many other people are still waiting for an acknowledgement email or biometrics letter, I submitted the application and payment was deducted over a month ago.
things just keep getting worse with UKBA.

home office don't send acknowledgement letters any more (as per the customer service), biometrics letter can take up to 12 weeks from the date of application. As long as the payment is deducted i guess its the waiting game, shocking service but nothing else we can do.

Good idea i think we should all sign both the petitions, its imperative to have the passport while the application in under review so that one can travel in case of emergency. best of luck guys

Hi

Of course no one can predict post application events but as long as those losses can be quantified legitimately it shouldn't really be an issue.

Get legal advice and also ask the accountant to explain appropriately.

Best of luck

Hi If deception isn't the case then why did you get an amendment, as far as I'm aware losses can be off set against profits if all the corporation rules are met. so why get an amendment?? The home office takes any amendment as deceiving whether its genuine or not? i suggest get legal advice and if y...

Hi Simz82,

I haven't received any letter from the home office and its been 3 weeks now, I called them yesterday and was told that the first letter ( biometrics one) could take up to 12 weeks from the date of application.
fingers cross lets hope the best,will keep you updated. thanks

Hi

I know its early but previously they use to send case reference letters the day payment was taken.

Thanks
Sal

Hi MAX444, Sorry to hear about your refusal but i think i can suggest a few things to you as i have been in the same situation when i applied for my tier 1 visa extension. my visa was rejected on the basis of paragraph 245 and the self employed income was deemed as non genuine. I took the following ...
