Big chemist, is it possible to keep two appointment at two different PEO for different dates? can you please tell us Thanks rneeta Hi, The two appointments i had were : one booked on the phone (which now seems to me that it was a cancellation, considering it was available relatively late after date...

Congrats ! I am in the similar situation, just wondering did you mention the "overstay" in your cover letter/application for Glasgow PEO ? And would you kindly provide your prepared explanation if you had been asked about this ? Thanks a lots for your help and looking forward to your reply. I did n...

Congrats to you. Why you need to submit police registration. Are you from which country? Brij Back in 2002 (I am not sure if this is still the practice now) certain people from certain countries needed to register with the police by first going to an office in London - Borough and then this purple ...

Hi all, Want to share with you my experience in getting ILR. The case is not trivial, therefore, may be of interest. I seek for help with solicitors. The documents I took to Glasgow: 1. Cover letter from solicitor So, fellas overstayers, don’t lose your hearts, there is a chance Well done and congr...

Hi Mamaz Best of luck, My visit to the immigration specialists in Birmingham yesterday taught me that applciations like ours are indeed 'almost' straight forward and its really down to luck as to the person picking your case up is willing to understand.. if they bounce you, then a second try might y...

To be honest, there is nothing much to share... Which was very disspointing after having done a 4hr journey from the middlands to Liverpool.. Basically i was called to the window 15min after arrival and the CW started to look at the screen, and she started to mutter something to what seemed to be he...

I need to say that my application with similar guidelines as what has been mentioned here was not accepted in person today . HSMP 24/8/07 - 24/8/09 Tier 1 General applied for 20/8/09 - bounced back as invalid (due to missing Police Reg Form) Invalid letter: 14th Sep 2009 Re-applied after consulting ...

Sat on the last bench in the waiting room at Liverpool PEO after being refused to progress my application in person. Heres the background HSMP 24 Aug 2007 - 24/8/2009 TIER 1 Application sent 20th Aug 2009, Invalid letter with return application 14th sep 2009 (forgot to send police registration) Resu...

I called the HO today and I was advised to send a fresh application. The time-critical document like the bank statement showing funds will need to be reobtaibned with a newer date on it. Now that my residency has expired, I am not covered by the Section 3C of tyhe immigration law and will be conside...

No I never got any such letter. I went to Borough in London in 2002 when I first evtered to the UK oon a s student Visa.. I was required to register with the police then and every time I made an extension (2003, 2007) I had to pass it through them to get it stamped. . so yeah .. you probably are pa...

Well, its the purple paper that you got the first time you entered the country.. if you were asked to obtain one.. it seems that from the wording on page 68...

@bigchemist - Were you able to speak to HO? Hi, I managed to get through the phone after long long waiting on hold.. The lady said that she could not tell me why my application was invalid, and she gave me the Royal Mail tracking number and told me to go and look for my pack and see for myself.. Sh...

(was working away from office, Managed to pick up post today) Reason of invalid Application: No police registration certificate included. I have to admit that although I have been pr...

I will check on that.. not sure of the dimensions..

But wouldn't the reason of refund be something other than Miscellaneous?

If i do get my application back, and now that my current leave has expired.. what should i do?

Thank you for your input .. Actually No, there is nothing mentioned about the return of my application. I am very bafflled with the slim letter they sent, bear minimum information! what is Miscellaneous?! ( i guess that the only useful peice of information on my refund letter is thier Reference numb...

Its worth adding that the letter about the refund was dated 17th Sep and the monies were back on my Mastercard Credit Card on the 18th.

A refund is being issued for ...
