chorc123 what do you mean, you have not still received your documents if your old solicitor is holding your documents then that is illegal. I am sure you can complain not only to solicitors regulatory authority but also probably to the police. Also as you've received your 3 years DL, you can apply f...

Hi chorc123, Just wanted to ask if you have found the reason why you were given 3 years discretionary leave instead of ILR? Was it because your lawyer didn't send your Life in UK Test certificate? Plus here's an update on my situation, follow th link and go towards the end of the post. http://www.im...

Quick update, Depressed and shocked then great news at the end of the week. First immigration enforcement team raided my house with a search warrant to arrest me, luckily I wasn't home as was visiting family. I am guessing this was related to the fake stamp in my passport. I don't know why they too...

Sorry guys, I guess my assumption was wrong, I thought I had read somewhere that you must complete full 10 or 14 years when making applications under that rule. Thank-you for correcting me.

You cannot apply 28 days before and must complete the full 10 years before you can apply. Ifyou apply before you will lose the fee and get a rejection.
What's the hurry anyway? You waited so long and now can't wait another 28 days.

Hi Greenie, Thanks for your response. The last job I gained was at one of the national convenience stores chain in 2003 which was on part time basis till I left just before June 2009, when I made my application. I applied for the job, gave my bank account number and my NI number and that was that. T...

Hi Klesk, I think probility is that long wait might be coming to an end. You will probabily get ILR in next two three months or so. They ask for these documents as the ones they have are too old. I hope this is the case in your case. rajjaji Hi Klesk Did you ever find out what this was about? I have...

Just to update my situation, our new solicitor received SAR file. It was the previous solicitor fault, he didn't apply ILR under 14 years rule. Now we are fighting for refunds and my passport and documents to be returned. On the SAR, UKBA even acknowledged that we are quailified for ILR however the...

Very quite here. Just thought give you an update on my situation. Me and my mother are still waiting for a decision on our applications. It's now been 22 months since we sent the applications. On my application I have heard nothing since the acknowledgment letter confirming they received my applicat...

sorry to hear about your problem. I have no idea if you can get the moneyback or not but I dont understand how you sent wrong fee. Did you not check what the fee was. Did you use a solicitor to help you with application if so then ask for the money from him? Anyway goodluck in your application, I ho...

Hi joejo, Over the past 20 months my lawyer has written to them on numerous occasions requesting them to make a decision. Plus I haves asked my local MP to intervene on our behalf, so far his office has contacted home office on numerous occasions but they get a standard reply, that its still being p...

Congratulations chore123, Even though your lawyer seems fishy. It's great news that you have some type of status. I can confirm to you that legal aid is available if you qualify, you only have to pay home office application fees. I am still waiting for an answer, its now been 20 months since I appli...

By the way, if you paid tax throughout the years here. Then, you should provide some evident to UKBA. They will process it much quicker. ( I only heard about from somebody who got ILR through legacy case. I am not sure the details but he paid load of tax during the years. Then he was granted within...

xyz123, I can understand your strong views but I can assure you UKBA is not going soft indeed it is very difficult to gain ILR through our route. You point out about fake ILR and still getting ILR but I can assure you it wasn't that easy. My brother received his ILR without any problems as he never ...

Isn't there anyone who can give some input reagarding my problem? Would be greatful for any advice regarding my problem.

Me and my siblings were of ages 5, 8, 10, when we came to this country. We applied for ILR under 14 year r...
