hi marcnath ,
First of all thanks for your reply on my post ,
What evidence did you have of the biometric submission ?
1- Appointment confirmation letter which download online when I booked my biometric date
Mr xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
UAN: xxxxxxxxxx
2- UK VIASA AND IMMIGRATION DOCUMENTAION referral form
when I visit the biometric SOPRA AND STERIA centre, they gave me this form given to us to fitful our details ,, my passports were already in home office I showed my drive licence as proof identification. this form is also hold details of lady who serve us on SOPRA AND STERIA centre . this is proof I have , attend the centre and successful submit my biometric . that lady told me your biometric successful taken and upload in their system .
Did they provide you the option of AR ?
NO they did not give option for AR . on 18 February when I have received email form home office for invalidation application . my solicitor wrote to home office and posted them biometric appointment confirmation letter and request for reinstate the application
home office replied back on 2 of march 2020 and telling us they are not taking any crosspondance by post any more . they provide us email address to email on that address but refused us 12 march 2020 . inshort they also refused on AR 30 MARCH 2020 ..
Did you submit the evidence proof with your AR ?
Solictor adviser did not attached ( UK VIASA AND IMMIGRATION DOCUMENTAION referral form ) which received from biometric centre . I am surprised as well because he was saying Generally biometric centre did not give any thing to customer .. I think that he did not mentioned in admin review .
Pleasse hep me what should I do next ?????
You seem to have a document that you filled in prior to giving the biometric - how are you still having that document ? I am not familiar with the new system, but I expect that you would have had to hand that form over to the person taking the biometric for them to retain it. Did they give it back to you ? That form does not prove that you "
successful submit my biometric "
I would have also expected some document confirming the completion of the process, rather than just the words of "the lady".
On 18th Feb when your application was rejected as invalid, you did not challenge that. Instead you (your solicitor on your behalf) just requested that the application be reinstated.
You were not given the option of an AR, so clearly you could not have submitted an AR and they could not have refused the AR as there was no provision for an AR in the first place. What you/your solicitor submitted was just a request.
Honestly, there are too many questions here in terms of the timeline and the process. I can't see where HO would have made a mistake. For all I know, you went to biometric centre, collected the form and walked out (not saying you did that) without submitting the biometrics - there is no evidence that you actually did other than your word that the lady told you so. And the fact that it was not even raised in your first reply to HO reinforces the impression that it is what happened.
So I can't see what the options are. Your lawyer can ask the centre to provide evidence of your biometric submission - there must be some records about that. Once you get that, you can of course always go to court.
My comments are in no way meant to be advisory. I have no professional knowledge of immigration. These are based on my own experience, convictions and personal interpretation of publicly available information.
