Tier 2 Minister of Religion extension

Post by kanchan » Thu Aug 09, 2012 3:18 pm

I write to you asking your advice on my case. I came to UK on 5 January 2008 on 6 month Religious worker visa valid until 20 June 2008. Then I got extension as Minister of religion from 07 October 2008 until 07 April 2009.
On 6 April 2009 I applied for extension as Tier 2 Minister Of Religion and it was refused on 24 April 2009 because my sponsor did not have a licence.
Then I requested Adminstrative Review on 06 May 2009 for Tier 2 Minister of Religion but again got a refusal on 01 April 2009
The UKBA sent me a letter on 2 July 2009 saying that I should re apply a fresh application when I have a sponsor who hold a licence
I do have a sponsor now who is ready to sponsor me and holds a licence.. Should I apply for extension.... would the UKBA consider my case as I have many support reference letters from people who have appreciated my volunteer service I provided since 2009 and got free accomodation and food by the sikh Temple
Can you pls guide me whether I should apply under Humanitarian grounds??

Completely irrelevant! You have not have valid leave for years so can't make an application inside the UK. If you apply outside the UK you are subject to a 12 month ban based on your overstay.

Can I apply under Article 8 as my intention to stay in UK is to serve the community and I am the integral part of the society??
