Pre-action letter for Tier 1 Extn Delay - 9 months

I have seen if one other thread, an OP has sent a PRE-Action letter to HO and got a decision immediately after.

since I hv an urgent need too (waiting for the application for last 9 months), I am also thinking about that..
But, it looks like PRE-Action is taken only during JR and it a way of "threatening" HO with legal actions for delays..

is there any problems taking this action for PBS based Tier 1 Ent. Extn. applications? Is it even applicable ?

if so, is it something that should be only done via a solicitor ? any1 with any more info on this please ?

thanks

Dear n8net, as you previous topic has been locked (for unknown reason)
I write here
Yes,it was made from Sheffield 3 days after I had emailed to MP (After more than 5 month delay)

cheers @riverthames

Dont wait for JR- I have send Pre action letter after 10 months of my application. I have got my Tier 1 extension visa in next 3 days.

Hi Arvind,

could you please shed more light on "Pre-Action" letter.

a) Is it something only legal profesiional can send ?

b) If, nor mal individuals can send it, could you share the format ?

c) Is there any implications to applicants case, by sending such a letter ?

Thanks

is not a letter which you can send only after once your AR has been refused. ??

Please clarify ?

thanks Casa.

but in this instance OP claims to have used it before JR stage and in fact for an application that is pending..

is this allowed and if so what are the implications for the case?

thanks
