Hi can someone help? Will i need English proficiency test for DLR family life or private life applicationsrec212 wrote:Hi guys, It's been a while since my last post... anyway, I am making a new FLR(o) application because the previous one was refused. I have a new solicitor cuz as some of you know, my previous solicitor had given me an immigration advice which was fundamentally wrong and I should not even have applied for a FLR(o), it even says clearly on the HO website that a visitor cannot switch or apply to a different visa!
Advice: Should you seek legal advice, please make research online as there are loads of scammers out there that are lurking to steal people's money!
If you already have a valid visa, there is no point in applying for FLR(o) as that was one of the main reasons why my application was refused and why I have not been given any right to appeal!
Those two advices will save your time and money, believe me!
Good luck everyone.

My counsel have sent a PAP and given the HO 14 days to review the decision or it's 'see you in court' Goodluck to those of you waiting. I think its a case of LIFO (last in first out) in terms of processing applications. Decisions are being rushed and refusal letters are seriously erroneous, cut and paste habit gone wrong. they got my nationality wrong in the body of the letter even though in the subject title they got it right. The quality of service is atrocious. I had lost hope only waiting for 2 months, I can imagine those of you that have waited a year and a bit, I am sorry and hope a favourable decision comes your way. My case was not considered on individual merits and the refusal was both speculative and illogical. Remember they enforce the law (perhaps a case of misapplication of the law I should say) but do not make the law so thank God for that. You will prevail.

can you share your story and what the reasons for refusal are?I am married to a british citizen but i dont have any children yet.lekmat01 wrote:@rec212
I saw all your post since you were refused,I need you to answer my questions please.Did you have a british wife and british children? The reason is that I was on 5yrs visiting visa and was granted a resident permit And also my cousin she was an overstayer for 10yrs but she had a twins who HO granted citizenship under 10yrs rules and llast week she was granted resident permit as well,it took her application just 4 weeks.So please I need your answer because you need to know what you will do before paying an extra money again...
sorry about the refusal bruv.were you given a right of appeal?Believe2013 wrote:Thank you for all the kind words and sympathy. Its places like these a lot of us find peace and solace. So basically I applied on the article 8 route via family life and private life. I sincerely regret not making my application before the 14 yr route was abolished. Dwelling on If's and buts doesn’t really solve anything now - I couldn’t at that time because I was missing vital evidence from HRMC which arrived 4 weeks after that route was abolished. Then someone will no doubt flag up why I didn't do it in 2010 November? Like I said it is what it is.
My Lawyers submitted my FLR (o) on my behalf. Background of the case
1) Been in the UK almost 17 years. I have two degrees I self-funded
2) Had a very well paid job hence being reluctant to leave it. Contributed over £8000 in tax and NI per annum for the last 14 years or so. paid poll tax and a regular charity donor and fundraiser in my community
3) No kids or wife
4) Mother and sister British are citizens successfully claimed asylum in 2009. All my cousins Aunties and uncles are British citizens too via the asylum route and I have no social cultural ties back home. No home or close relative to put me up should I be returned to my country of origin
5) I am of good character never been convicted of a crime and never stepped inside a police station
6) Always very self-sufficient not once did I recourse to public funds wouldn’t know what to do if I had to.
Grounds for refusal
1) Not met the 20 year criteria as the 14 yr rule was abolished. Yes I understand but this point can be argued in spirit and longer periods than the 14yr rule are very much applicable under article 8.
2) I left my home country a 20 year old and therefore I had established social and cultural ties back home. - Again supporting letters & biometrics of my immediate family & extended family who claimed asylum successfully with whom my social familial and cultural ties are with are all British citizens now. You are entitled to have one family life and I do not chose my relations, they happen to be British now and should anything happen to me they too are victims again article 8. Family life doesn’t solely mean I have to have kids and a wife NOT AT ALL.
3) I spent half of my adult life in my home country- Rubbish you are considered an adult as of 18 and you start to live an adult life as of 18. So in essence I have spent most my adult life in the UK bar 2years.
Like I said ILLOGICAL AND SPECULATIVE. Article 8 is a very powerful tool when analysed in depth. Guys do not lose faith or hope. We will prevail.
lol you havent been back home in 17 years. how they can expect you to leave the life youve built here and just return back is just beyond me. common sense needs to go into these decisions.Believe2013 wrote:Thank you for all the kind words and sympathy.

Well I think my wife might be pregnant but I am not too sure about a baby yet anyway. Would it make our case stronger if she was pregnant?Believe2013 wrote:@Rec212,
As convoluted as your case sounds never lose face and hope. Wish you all the best
