We need to take action against it

My bank blocked one of my transaction and then they wanted to see my legal right to stay in this country. I explained them that i have not received anything from HO for last 7 months and only have this letter from HO explaining my application is with them and not decided yet. But they insisted to show my resident permit to prove I am legal. Unfortunately, i cannot use my business bank account. THIS IDOT HO expect us to do normal business activities having no IDs with us.

Very sorry to hear about this.
Was your business bank account frozen? The company is a separate legal entity, so how can they just freeze accounts based on your permit?

The news is about current accounts.
If they will freeze business account,it will create a whole mess and what will we do.
Do they want us to be penniless and survive on grass :D

I need to buy property and banks ask for 2 years valid visa.

Yeah, I know that checks are being conducted against bank accounts.

However, what I meant was that in the case of a business bank account of a company, the company is a separate legal entity, so the residence permit of the director not being valid leading to the account being frozen is strange.
In the case of a personal account or a sole trader's account it's different, as in the case of self employment, the business and the individual are treated as one and the same under law.

1- I have filed detailed complaint against it and have made it very clear that it is a genuine issue and should not affect my application.

2- I have family issue back home which I need to address urgently. This has caused me going though mental stress and has affected my working life. I have doctor certificate now to prove this and HO is responsible for all this.

3- Cannot do longer term contracts - as there is uncertainty - Practically, you cant do business with confidence when you are not certain what is going to happen with your stay.

4- This IDOT HO, thinking us as criminals - We are well educated , degree holders people having real family issues/lives. They are treating us like ASYLUM seekers.

5- I have also contacted Human rights agencies in the UK and have explained this CRIMINAL ACT OF HO to them.

6- I have contacted different NEWS PAPERS and sent emails to News channels to highlight this issue for us. They are killing people mentally,

DONT be afraid and be bold - THEY are just doing delay tactics and doing on purpose. LETS EXPLOSE THEIR DIRTY FACE TO THE WORLD.
I'm with you too, please share more details how can I be a signee on your complaint or face to protest against HO. There have been over 7 months no contact by them at all, they have refunded partial IHS 2 months ago but still application is not decided :(
Please share the contact or more details, how we can be a part of this compalint or media protest face against HO. I remember few of International students did the same in year 2012 and BBC highlighted the frustration of the delaying process of UKBA. We all together can quote the same and take this the crime against the Human rights. Thanks

Frankly, I have reached a point where I am not concerned about the result, just want a result.

I am seeing my GP today to register my depression and suicidal thoughts due to Home office negligence, also sending an email to home office if something happens to me, I or my family will hold them responsible.

I have paid them £5000 is fee and NHS surcharge, I deserve respect and update, I am not a criminal or have done something wrong.

If they did not wanted me here, they should not have given me visa at the 1st place.

There is nothing you and I can do except wait. I think only option is come out on the street and protest against this unfair system, trust me we are not only who are waiting since last many but home office is delaying other catogaries applications as well.
Before protest Everyone should write about this unfair to opposition leader and mayor of your city. They are the only person who can expedite the process.
I can share their emails if you are interested but everyone has to contact.
100 emails can make a difference.

The problem is that even courts are at their side. I suggest you guyz read xxxxxx columns as he gives inside information. According to his recent column this government place many their obedient lawyers as judges, who are giving decision in their favours. The judge is vehemently lamented if he gives decision against HO. Recent example is xxxxxxxxxx. Toeic students example is in front of us. Over 50,000 students seeking justice more than 4 years despite the verdict went against HO. The link is given below. I am afraid so the column is in Urdu so perhaps some of readers find it impossible to read it but I have already stated bullet point at here
Hence most of the Victims are Pakistani oriented so they shouldn't have problem to read it.

I think we should highlight that issues to BBC and other news agencies. Remember if we don't do anything. Nothing will happen out of the blue.

I strongly suggest you read the forum rules on what you can and cannot post in public.

As I pointed out in this thread, you cannot realistically bring a LEGAL case against HO for delaying your case. I also suggested and encouraged you to file a complaint with HO regarding your case or even contact MPs. These are all now outside the limited scope of this immigration subforum which is generally dedicated to discuss Tier 1E rules and requirements rather than providing a platform for resolving case-by-case grievances, ill treatments or complaints as this is not HO's forum and we do not work for HO.

I do understand the concerns and frustrations of individuals regarding lack of communication from HO as reported here.
Most Tier 1E cases are being approved in generally a timely manner and you can see the evidence of this in the timeline post. HO certainly has shortage of manpower to deal with ALL the applicants in a timely manner, however this is not the place to discuss all this. Some cases are indeed complex or raise red flags that need further investigations and HO has the right to pursue that as that is their job. This is all across the immigration routes and not unique to Tier 1E cases.
Advice is given based on my personal research and experience only. Do NOT contact me via private message for immigration advice
