can you apply 3months in advance on ban

[titi]

Hie. My ban ends 28th dec (overstay). I have job offer with A rated employer to start 7th jan. Once CoS is out can I apply 2 or 3 months before 7th jan? Thanks

The rules say the mandatory refusal period will be 12 months (or 2 or 5 or 10 years) from the date you leave the UK. No exceptions to these fixed periods that I am aware of.

However, your chance of a discretionary refusal under 320 (11) is extremely likely and this has no time limit. Reading your other thread, your ill-advised attempt at claiming asylum (and refusal of this) will look very much a vexatious or frivolous application. Good luck!

I opted to claim asylum which was refused.

so I guess I have been given wrong advice by a solicitor. He said once ban is over they will be taking new application and looking if I meet all requirements. I guess I just have to forget about uk!

Your solicitor was correct but I fear that the looking to see if you meet the requirements aspect may allow the ECO to introduce discretionary refusals that are not covered by the fact that the original ban period is now spent.

you really need to stick to one topic
