In my humble, only pay the lawyer for 'advice' Please DO NOT give him authority to deal with your application directly. Just do the paperwork yourself. When you require technical advice. Pay otherwise they don't bother with them. Also try to be proactive when it comes to securing technical advice. T...
A friends who works for the CAB told me about this case without mentioning any names. He is a volunteer there. I believe the DNA test was done here in the UK because everything happened here not abroad.
Hi, I have seen a case where HO refused to accept the official DNA results of a man who claimed that he is the father of a girl who was born here. In the court, the proof was deemed as authentic and the man won the case. My question is, in the current hostile environment, what is the most acceptable...
I know one case where the visa was refused due to a name issue. If you have proper documentation of the name change along with the a document which states that you legally adopted this child then I believe you will have a case to present.
By the way, Bushy, the UKVI may give you only 7 working days instead of 14 so if you are thinking that your application will be refused, make your plans in advance. I do not understand the logic behind the two durations though. Why can't we have either 14 or 7 working days as standard duration in ca...
To me the above means they are considering your application and they will make a decision on it on 5th July. B/F indeed means brought forward. This means your application will be on the caseworker's desk and he or she will make a decision on your application there and then. Nevertheless, please doub...
However, please double check this with a senior member here. I heard some members here work directly or indirectly for the UKVI so their advice would definitely have credence.
Hi Zimba, I struggled to log in so couldn't reply earlier. I cannot afford to pay the fees again. The fees of FLR (FP) and FLR (HRO) are exactly the same. I am assuming the NHS surcharge is also the same i.e. £500. Is the above acceptable? I am planning to send the new application to their official ...
If I do choose to vary, the FLR (HRO) application will go to their Durham office. I do not have to pay any fees because I paid the same amount of £1033 on my FLR (FP) application. The NHS surcharge of £500 should also be the same, I presume. So all I need to do is to pay for the postage and that is ...
Thank you, @zimba. Sorry, I just read your reply. However, I read in the conclusion section of some court case, where the judge was talking about the 'abuse' of the variation option as people can just vary from one application to another several times to reach the 10 year mark. So I am afraid of tak...
hello, i moved to this country in 2008 and there is only one month left in me applying for my ilr. i was previously advised to apply for the most popular route to kill the gap of 2 months which is flr fp but to be honest, my current case involves exceptional circumstances based on some thing has hap...
