Very strange situation. Appears to be some technical fault in their system.
Send a letter to:

"Case Resolution Directorate CSU,ST ANNE House,20-26 Wellesley Road,Croydon,CR0 9XB"

narating the situation. A week after that book new appointment at any PEO and try your luck

passport-uk, Your summery of Absences = 1072 days in five years & 357 days in last year. Whereas on page 7-8 of UKBA naturalization guide http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/nationality/guide_an.pdf it is detailed that how discretion would be exercised. Maximum 900 days ab...

gagsingh,

your call to PEO to verify may lead to change of their practice.
In view of dozens of experience posted in this board any such calls are counter productive

I hope your family had purchased return ticket from UK and they are having photocopy of bio-data and visa page of the lost passport. If so than talk to your airline and get new passport from Pakistan. There was post on this board where in an identical situation the member was allowed to travel witho...

staffordjafar, Currently you are self employed sole trader and your earnings are business income. It appears that you are under Tier 1 (General) not covered by HSMP JR and hence required to show points for NET previous earnings for ILR. There are prescribed evidence of that under Annex.A of Chapter ...

somu had reported his case on 26 May 2011 and has not updated this board about latest position. But since than it appears that UKBA has re-issued instructions on absences to case workers and currently there are liberal decisions. Moreover I had asked UKBA about their policy about upper tribunal ruli...

Narrate your inter action and discussion with case worker on that day

staffordjafar,
Though answer is yes to all of your questions yet this discussion board is the best medium for any immigration advice as one gets more than one opinion and that too free of charge. This board is a collective wisdom.

1.Job related absences are to be disregarded and there is no upper limit in this regard. Blew is an extract from UKBA reply: "No formal time limit has been put on these type of cases in the guidance and each is decided on a case by case basis. I would expect that many of the situations you describe ...

Another member has also reported similar story. His appointment was at Croydon PEO at 9.30 AM on the same day - 16 Aug I think this may be due to some administrative reasons and nothing to do with further checks on your application. They have merely used template letters to inform you. Hopefully you...

http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/howtoapply/infs/settlementguide "If you and your husband, wife or civil partner have been living together outside the UK for four years or more, and you meet all the necessary requirements to stay permanently in the UK, you may be granted indefinite leave to enter. These...

Chances of getting ILR on that profile are very slim. In case you intend to take a chance than gather evidence of living together in UK as well as abroad. For applying ILR go to PEO Solihull/Glasgow/Belfast ( they do not take UKBA fee before considering the case). If the case worker is not convinced...

If you have to claim points of earnings you can claim these for 12 months out of last 15 months. So for earning period from July 2010 to June 2011 your bank statement ending on 12 July 2011 is OK. I see no problem on that account.Relax and congratulation in advance. There was a similar case on this ...

It is immaterial that what changes have been made in form.
Law is law. To be valid application should be on current version of form subject to exception mentioned at page 10 of UKBA guidance mentioned above.

Ask your solicitor whether application dated 8th August 2011 on a previous form is valid?
Read page 10 of UKBA guidance:

It is not difficult for sole traders to justify absences with evidence. Here is one such example ( though emarketeruk has deleted his post of 15 July 2011 yet it stand reproduced by another member in the same topic) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- emarketeruk w...

dramit My understanding is that apart from job/business related absences and annual paid leaves consistant with terms of employment the other absences (over & above foregoing) should ordinarily not exceed 3 months at a time and 6 months over all in a period of 5 years. All of your absences were paid...

For Tier 1 applicants there are 2 different requirement for bank statement in the context of SET(O): 1. Section 10A - Your finances -- bank statement of LAST 3 months 2.Section 9 (8A) - Previous earnings claimed - bank statement of the period of earnings ( 12months out of 15 previous months) So it i...

Put figure of latest month or average of 12 moths - the period for which points are being claimed - either way including overtime. It is non issue in your case - Hence do that in which you feel comfortable. Case worker is most likely not to look into this page of SET(O). There are hundreds of posts ...

Faxed copy may not be entertained and may delay the case as you are claiming points of earnings.
May be you get on 8th Aug the statement posted to you.
Otherwise get it stamped and signed by any branch of your bank.

It appears your query is with reference to Question 5.3 of SET(O).
For that give figure of latest month by including overtime.
Object of this question to see the possibility of recourse to public funds and it is not in the context points of earnings.

kite7, 1. Employer letter is best evidence of paid leave along with salary slip of the relevant period indicating same salary when leave was not taken. 2. Weekend can not be excluded from absences calculation or from paid leaves. All the absences are to listed even of one/two day weekends. All weeke...

Your preparations are perfect.

Take print out of your blew email to UKBA regarding paid leave absences and their reply under the Freedom of Information Act. Just as a back up reference.

It was not an appeal against deportation order wherein UKBA could grant FLR in pursuance of favorable order. Rather it was appeal against rejection of ILR. Hence there appears to be either an error or discretionary FLR has been given independent of appeal order . Lets wait.
