Help re ILR refusal and appeal please
Posted: Sun Nov 10, 2013 5:11 pm
Dear All,
Pls advice me I applied through a solicitor for my 10 year ILR but as the HO file on me wasn't requested before applying it got refused due to illegal stay in UK
This was something i was unaware of as it was due to domestic violence i have fled the matrimonial home and my X has written to them to advice there is no dependency!
Now I have been given a court date to appear in person but i am not sure what information is required my solicitor has not advised me of anything yet and i feel left on the lurch
pls advice me
1. why would they want a court hearing when sufficient info was sent through with an appeal letter i.e info of domestic abuse , police reports , medical records, etc. ? Does this mean there might be other evidence neither me nor my solicitor is aware of and the HO hasn't informed us or is it normal procedure ?
2. my solicitor advised i need reference letters and will call my friends to as witness - is this normal
3 what happens if this gets refused ?
4. how long do i have to re-appeal
Thank you
