Any good news today?

[PAK321]

Tangie, WTF!?

Are you trying to demonstrate that HO is quick? I have very easy, absolutely straitforward application and waiting for 5 months already!

There are people who wait for for much longer!

I know a person, who had to prove his identity to HO for many years because of THEIR mistake!

I'm afraid some people may even find your post quite insulting...

Chill out,
Just because you haven't got your approval within weeks it doesnt mean you need to swear at others who have.
He was lucky to have his approval quick. Believe me there are people like him. Its not his fault. Still have no right to swear otherwise you are going to be reported as I find it insulting!
Go and enjoy Easter and be with your family and trying to relax and forget about your naturalisation otherwise you will be crazy and will be banned from this site by the time you get it!

i dont see any reason to make these comments here, things were settle down and all party has done apologized each other.

Application from June 2014 being refused now. Can someone please suggest any good solicitor without asking any personal question (like reasons for refusal) who can apply for my reconsideration.

Sorry to hear but no one will do any reconsideration without knowing what caused your refusal.
If you do not want anyone to know you need to do it by yourself, I am afraid[/q

If you have been here for 5 years you should have these. I don't think its a sample letter. Its specified for you so I do not think anyone got exactly the same. There must be a reason why they ask it.
Send it back as soon as you could as post office works only tomorrow to get there by 7 April

Hi Jaweb,
You aren't the only person who got this letter. I know someone on this forum got it few weeks back. It's nothing to worry about. Just send as much documents from the last 5 years as possible and am sure you will have your approval soon.

5 years doesn't mean you have to cover every single month. Just collect n send as much as possible. Good luck n please update.

Thanks but it was not me who asked it

Sorry I guess my message was not clear. Of coz I will be telling the solicitor everything. What I meant was if some in this forum can suggest any solicitor without asking me the reasons of refusal in this forum. Hope it is clear now.

sorry to hear that and best of luck for ur reconsideration.

Oh, OK. Its your right not to tell
As far as I know everyone did it for themselves. The most recent one was Julian who got refusal too and he's done it for himself.
Good luck! Please let us know if the decision was turned around!

I believe this is a spin-off of another thread in which OP stated that the refusal letter mentioned she had "used deception in an application for a student visa"...
