Hello friends and everyone, elainyorke , yasir, ana


Friends those who don't know about my case please follow the previous posts.
With the bless of Allah (s W t) I have got my visa.
after first tribunal the judge cleared everything in determinations, the Home office straight away contacted my solicitor and asked for details, today i have recieved my biometric card and i am over the moon.
Judge also said in written that i have a high level of english proficiency and my educational background was impressive.

my watch is over, as they say in Game of thrones,,,,,, the night watch. so wish you all a very best of luck inshallah have faith in Allah and for sure He will help you.

I suppose this is good bye here thanks again to every one on this forum, you guys have been a great help and support for me in hard days, all I want to say is, just never give up.

Hi all,
I m a victim of toeic I was tier 4 student applied for extension in 2015 where I have used my toeic. Home office refused my application & said I have used proxy test taker.
But I have given right of appeal in ftt in nov 2016 the judge allowed my appeal as I have previous qualification in English & when home office before refusing my application sent me a attested copy of my passport & told me to take any other English test to support my application, then I did IElTS with 6 over all score. The judge said I m a credible enough to take test myself. After 8 days I received a letter they went to upper tribunal & they got permission afterwards.
In upper tribunal home office said the ftt judge had made a error in law & asked for re hearing with another judge.
Upper tribunal sent my case back for another hearing in ftt I got my hearing date after 8 months. Already this whole process took almost 2 years.
I had another hearing on 9 may 2018 & again ftt judge found I m credible enough to speak fluent English as In ftt on my hearing I have answered all the questions the home office asked me, he tried to mislead me but I got properly engaged with him with my answers.
Judge mentions that in his judgement & allowed my appeal. Now I received a letter again saying they asking for appeal right against the ftt decision again in upper tribunal.

Please advise if any one else have been in same situation.

Hello,
I passed toeic in june 2013 genuinely but home office curtailed my leave in December 2014 with the accusation that i have procured toeic by cheat.
I went to one of the solicitor to consult how to remove this allegation from my name.
Solictor advised me to submit FLR FP application within 28 days time and i submitted FLRFP in january 2015 within time limit.
Application got refused in august 2015 stating human rights clearly unfounded and certify and no in country right if appeal again.
I lodged JR and upper tribunal refused by giving reason home office gave the right remedy of outside the country appeal right. 
I went to court of appeal but got refused subsequesntly from there as well and couldn't get lucky enough to get appeal right. 
I have been in UK for 11 years and i have also passed ielts with overall bands 6.5 in speaking 8 itself in 2014 when i found out about toeic saga.
In home office book i have become an over stayer after flrfp refusal which was made in august 2015.
I am not married i have no kids so is there any way left for me to get this sorted?
I want to clear my name from this allegation.
Please advise

Hi all
After 6 month UTT grant permission to home office for appeal against FTT judge decision.
But grant of appeal was not given on toiec base thats starnge as they grant permission if appealent goes back home country so its against article 8 .But we never argue or asked for visa in article 8 .
Very strange and totally wrong let see what happnd in july .

You should post ILR queries in the ILR sub forum and not in this topic.

Certain routes for ILR do not get appeal rights so it depends on what basis you have applied which is why you should not post these question in this specific ETS topic.

Hi,

I have a similar issue my wife is British national, my extension for ilr was refused due to toiec deception in Nov 2016 , got a date in May 2018 in FTT after a long wait. My appeal was dismissed by FTT based on Toiec however it was allowed on human grounds. Article 8.

Received a letter last week that home office seeking permission to FTT for an appeal to UTT.

I don't understand on what grounds ? As my appeal is already dismissed based on toiec by FTT it's been allowed only on human grounds.

Thanks
