I am trying to book an appt with a lawyer. Being so far out of London does not help. But I have faxed it over and they think they can "fight" it on my behalf. The fees are going to be exorbitant but I have no choice. If anybody here lives in Edinburgh or Glasgow and they know a good solicitor that ...

ryan I left the UK with valid leave and came back with valid leave even if it was a fresh grant. The examples you are giving just confirm what I think are my circumstances. I maybe getting this the wrong way but based on the 2nd example I think the decision is wrong. hmmm sorry i was wrong in that ...

Quantum the Refusal goes like this: The first few paras state all the in time applications and extensions i made since 2002 when I came in the UK then below it starts to get tasty: You applied in time as a student on 24th Feb2004 but were refused on 05 April 2004 You lodged an appeal on 16th April ...

Jon336, very sorry to hear about the refusal. It must be extremely disheartening and stressful, especially after the long wait. I am no expert so perhaps someone with suitable credentials will reply to your post, however, I assumed that in relation to period of less than six months outside the UK a...

Hi Guys, My passport is atlast back after five months BUT with a refusal! I didn't expect it but reading through the reason why I was denied it seems to me that this was an error correct me if I am wrong. The decision goes like this: You left the United Kingdom on 18 June 2005(with valid leave) and...

you mean HO replies to MP after 3 week ?[/quote]

Yes , MP PA replied me that they would not expect to have a response for three weeks.[/quote]

If we make it simple if MP contact UKBA then UKBA will take 3 weeks to reply to MP right ????

it can't be.. because they check criminal record before decision. They can't check after decision. does n;t make sense to me

to let you guys my application of ILR has been approved, jusr rcvd the royal mail envelope which is confirming my ILR. but as it been decided now my next step is to ask refund of difference between postal and premium application from UKBA. that's what i ask misslight as well that let us know whats ...

And just to further clarify to you all: I had 245 days total, however I had 120 days of annual leave entitlement so my total days absent fall below the 180 days rule. For some reason this wasn't considered. Over the phone, the lady said I had been given the wrong advice and that annual leave entitl...

well you have couple of months you can prepare accordingly. as advised by ITGraduate you should have many documents for that absence. if you are not in a rush and patient then apply by post wait for 6 months and relax. if you want to travel or you can't wait then apply in PEO. Please do not go to so...

Just ask them to Provide a letter confirming your family address, registration details with the GP including date of registration.

It will be quick if you give them a template to revise and sign.

Charge is around £25

it should be free why GP charge £25 even earn thousands on one patient

I know but there nothing you can do really...when i ask how long it will take for me to recieve the file back and will it effect the decision, then she said NO the decision remains the same but they cant handover the file without system check. I feel like cheated there and very very angry... she sa...

after checking and deciding your case.....then they check Identity ...
its funny for me

hi There, I think i am also in the same boat. I applied for ILR on 29th June 2012 13:00pm. document collected at 5pm and then i was told that due to IT issue they cannot check my documents and i've been issued a letter for Further enquiry. Since then no reply.... eagerly waiting for outcome.. does ...

hm quite good information. i was reading some days before that when the applicant gives boi-metric in croydon it was matching with crime some thing so decision was not given on the same day. but you said it will upload the data and decision is not on same day. usually they grant you ILR letter and a...

congrats to your wife. how you know that they are interested in more than 90 days absence ???

yesterday some one got ILR on 360 days .

I don't understand why they are so serious about 90 days absence

I can see it here...


"Please confirm whether you have been outside of the UK for any single absence over 3 months or one or more absences which amount to more than 6 month"

strange new invention.
If they have remove 90 days thing from guidance notes as well then it means there is no more 90 day rule. but i don't think so..

members please comment
