nationality Ceremony money refund

[ghado1987]

Hi Guys

today is the second time i receive refusal letter for my Nationality application based on good char tarter.

my overstaying was in June 2010 for 5 months and they said that i have to apply in 2021 where i will be meeting the good character criteria .

i am not bothered because they refused me as i submitted very strong documents that it was beyond my control and i was working so hard to legalize my situation and i was granted 2 years student visa after the overstaying as i did MA degree
i am bothered because i know 3 of my friends who had gaps SAME AS ME and they were granted nationality , so HO should treat all the same .
i am going to do reconsideration and will include 2 ppl cases who had gap and they were granted nationality so we have matching cases . my question guys when is there any dead line for reconsideration's i heard that i have to do it within one month of refusal .

can any body advise me please as i am so stressed from this alot
thanks

Hello
I think you must apply for reconsideration as many people get on it&it is very good if you give reference of those 2 successful cases similar to yours .If overstaying is the only issue then there is clear guidance of HO to apply discretion which they do if explained properly .You should give reference from HO website as well.I think you will be successful if you explain properly and ask for discretion.Dont leave everything on lawyer as they always make mistakes.Good charater test is a trap for many people mainly refugees.Just miss use of power.

hi

yes you are right , home office guidance clearly say that and this was mentioned in the cover letter i sent but i am sure he did not even bother to open all documents , however i will send my reconsideration and let us see what will happen

Hello Guys

i sent my nationality reconsideration to the Home Office but i made a mistake so instead i put department 73, i put department 72 in their address , i am really panic about this as this might cause delay and i am already late in sending my reconsideration as now been 2 months since i received the refusal

any advise

Declined or Refused? In my knowledge if declined HO will refund you application amount after deduction of some service charges and if refused then they will only refund you 80pounds ceremony fee. First please clear your point. Declined or Refused?

Maybe I am wrong the Respected seniors will give you correct answer.

Thanks
