gurus, thanks very much for sharing your opinions here regarding my matter but I would yet urge not to put the last nail on this topic before I say my say and you also make some final comments. First of all what I think that, we are mixing up variation( varying the grounds of an undecided applicatio...

So gurus can I vary or not?

yes it does

First trick should be deferring the hearing date. I think normally court of appeal takes longer than upper tribunal to hear the case, nevertheless u should be prepared to be called in next 3 months. So defer it let's say by causing a minor injury.

Dear Sri0805, Your whole case is so heartbreaking and confusing to me. My questions to u 1) did u make the first tier 1 application before the FLR was decided or after? 2) if u applied for tier 1 after the FLR was refused did u get the appeal right straightway or went for judicial review for appeal ...

Hi One of my friend is having a question regarding the long residency. He came to the UK in 2009 on student visa got PSW till Feb 2013 applied for entrepreneur in Jan 2013 Refusal and appeal dismissal process lasted till Nov 2013 Fresh application in Nov 2013 (within 28 days of the refusal) got Ent...

Let me give u a clear idea about long residency: 1) during the appeal u touched 10 years, long residency is intact 2) you lost appeal or got refused and within 28 days you applied for another visa and got approved, long residency is intact 3) made a judicial review claim after the refusal or appeal...

Please guys update here if you have been withdrawn your refusal decisions and still waiting or given a new decision. Please also mention the time u have been waiting since withdrawal or have waited until another decision. Thanks

U have the appeal right. So don't waste your time and lodge the appeal by a solicitor coz u don't have any knowledge about appealing

If u applied on time which I can see u did then there must be appeal right whether they gave u that or not. Whether the case worker included any appeal form or not that doesn't matter. Check the refusal letter whether it says u can appeal or not.

@ sajnan, since you will qualify for ILR by mid November, i will advice that you stick with your existing application because submitting a student application in my opinion is a waste of money if the qualification is not that important to you. Your existing application will not have an appeal if re...

Thx amber

Thx amber. But my query is will that time after the 2nd application be counted towards long residency if a decision isn't made provided it was within 28 days?

Please gurus specially vinny and amber comment

I have a situation here which is unique for me. after submitting my 2nd application which is out of time but made within 28 days overstaying i am coming to fill my 10 years. my question is if i touch that line while the decision is still pending will that be counted as continuous residency if I vary...

As per my understanding those who want to apply from PSW to tier1 must form a company or be registered with inland revenue by tonight( 10 july 2014). secondly tier 4 students can apply only through seed funding and government grant.

If you are capable of doing it yourself then you can otherwise do it through solicitor. But it's quite complex

yes it is

thx amber

Please gurus answer my query. Is it possible to vary an application to another category, if the application is made out of time but no more than 28 days before home office gives a decision?

No they have not

same happened in my case. dont worry yr appeal is withdrawn. its because the bundle is prepared by case working unit not by presenting officer. so by the time u got the bundle from the case working unit appeal was withdrawn. now home office will make a new decision on your case.

moral of the story "never trust home office". congrats
