ILR application through long residency refused

If you make an application to the Home Office and then leave the UK, your application will be considered withdrawn.

I am afraid this is not about the fairness but the lawfulness of a decision. Many unfair decisions are perfectly lawful and cannot be simply overturned. You can try to apply under the EU settlement scheme and leave the UK and visit your family in the meantime. They are not related to your current status under Tier 2.
Please post your EEA related application query in the EEA forum instead: eea-route-applications/

The EU settlement scheme applications will not be subjected to this as they are not under the immigration act ?!

Aware of that. Was commenting on a UK Immigration route application.

Thanks for clarifying. Wanted to make sure the OP is not confused

Thank you all so much for the advice.

So basically I can apply to the EU Settlement Scheme regardless of my decision to go ahead with the appeal or submit a fresh application as it’s not under the immigration act.

If I want to leave the country I should go for priority service again because the decision needs to be made before I reach 180 days away.

EU settlement scheme has no priority service. The process and procedure is separate and different

Yes aware of that. I was referring to submitting a fresh application through Tier 2 if I do not appeal.

Is it possible at all to appeal without a legal representative? I don’t have one and I don’t think I’ll get one until Monday. I drafted a letter to support my appeal, gathered some documents and filled in the form so I was going to send it all and do everything on my own

Yes you can however court procedures are convoluted and technical. It is worth seeking legal advice rather than bootstrapping it
