Thank you. Yes it is such a big relief.

Thank you seagul and vinny.

I am so glad that I did not give up challenging their initial decision.

Just to update you... I got a decision from the Home Office. Despite the email was full of errors (mentioning Tier2 application and returning my passport, which were not applicable for my case), there was a clear statement : Your application for indefinite leave to remain in the United Kingdom has b...

Yes, sent all the information yesterday night, including my solicitor’s.

My admin review, which was for ILR refusal, took 29 days. I got a successful outcome on 12th October.

Thanks for the clarification seagul. I should stop overthinking about the every email I get from the HO.

I hope I can update you with some good news, soon.

Thanks seagul for your comment.

I am so desperate that I am trying to get some messages between the lines. Is it normal that my application went to the Secretary of State for the Home Department?

Hi all, I have just received the below email from UKVI. Is this a standard email or would that mean anything in terms of the decision? I am working with a solicitor but he is doing it voluntarily. Would it help to include his details as my solicitor? Dear Sir/Madam Your Tier 2 (General) application ...

Thanks for the suggestion seagul. Taking your advice, I have contacted my MP again and they just asked the Home Office to get a decision within 28 days on my behalf. Hopefully, all will work out and I can get a positive decision very soon.

*within a certain time point.

Thanks vinny, seagul, AmozonianX for your comments. Is there any timescale for their decision? If not can I request to hear them within time period? This visa process is going on more than a year and I have a very good job offer in one of the best universities in the UK which needs to start by the e...

Thanks for your replies. I do want to be more optimistic. It would be great if I am granted.

But based on my experience with the HO, I can not stop just imagining the worst case scenarios.

Many thanks for sharing your opinions,

Hi. You are not missing anything. Admin review was for my ILR rejection. In the rejection letter original CW gave me 2 reasons. 1. I am not covered by Section 3C while my EUSS was pending therefore there is a gap between my Tier 2 expiry and ILR application. 2. Original CW asked me an explanation fo...

Hi again, I finally got my admin review decision today, which was successful. I am pasting the reply below. But I am still not sure whether this means my ILR can be rejected again. If it goes to the original case worker, who thinks I am not covered by Section 3C I might be rejected again. Would the ...

Hello. I am still waiting for an admin review decision (today is the 25th day). But we got an email from Home Office through our local MP. In the email they said that they are still considering my admin review, but also wrote this : "On 31 July 2019, Dr Deniz submitted an application under the Europ...

I also contacted relevant MPs to challenge the HO decision during my admin review. Is there anything else I could do to strengthen my chances?

Just to update you, I have submitted my documents for admin review last Friday. If they decide within 28 days, I should hear back from them before 12th October. I am now preparing myself for the next stages. If admin review comes back negative and they maintain their decision, I will apply to Global...

Hi saegul. Not ECS did not mention anything about Section 3C, but they stated that "this person has the right to work subject to the restrictions in Section 4." due to "an ongoing application for leave to remain in the UK". Since they considered my EUSS application as leave to remain application and...

Very helpful Vinny. I modified my letter slightly based on the tips I got from the link you sent. "This is a letter to challenge the decision dated 9th September 2020 to refuse my Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) application (UAN: REMOVED). Background: I first entered the UK on 13th June 2014 with m...

Can someone please comment and help in my situation?
@Obie, @CR001, @secret.simon can you please advise?

Thanks

Thanks.

How can I invite others to comment? Who should I invite? Sorry I havent used this board often.

Thanks vinny. If AR does maintain the decision this would not add extra complication for my GTV application (if I do it on the same day of the decision), right?

Secondly, do you think the explanation about Section 3C (mainly based on your suggestions) is reasonable to send as AR documents?

Thanks

Many thanks for your reply vinny. Should I wait for administrative review decision before applying the Global Talent Visa? Would it change anything if apply before the decision or just on the day of decision (in case the decision is maintained)? If it does not change anything I rather wait for admin...

Hi, Now after reading couple of more posts I feel like admin review is waste of time and the HO probably will not change their decision. In my refusal letter, one of the reasons was : “We contacted you via email on two occasions, on 01 July 2020 and again on 12 August 2020 to attempt to gain further...
