Thank you very much for your swift response.
I first arrived in UK in February 6, 2009 on a student visa to pursue MBA at Holborn College in London. Initially I was granted a visa for 18 months from January 24 th. Latter on August 2010 I happened to extend my student visa under the sponsorship of Holborn College for another 10 months. However there were certain troubles at college, and therefore I couldn't finish my MBA programme before the expiry of my visa on May 31, 2010. Hence I souught the favour of the College Authority to issue me a CAS letter to extent my leave to remain in UK. I believed I stood eligible to be sponsored by the College as I was actively doing the third semester which was the research thesis. However the College refused to issue me a new CAS letter at the last moment, and therefore I had to submit a Tier 4 Student application without a CAS letter.
Subsequently the application was returned to me saying that it was an invalid application for the failure to pay the fees. Nevertheless, I had enclosed a cheque along with the application but it was their fault that they failed to appropriate fees through the cheque which I paid them. Later on I Submitted another application with proper fees, but without a CAS letter instead I put a letter from my then local MP who endorsed my application because he was informed about the issues at the College. In the invalid letter, the home office wrote to me that they would return the fees I paid them with that application, but they did not return the fees. Later I submitted another applicant with a CAS letter, but I only paid the remaining balance from the earlier fees I paid to the home office. Though they acknowledged my application after two weeks, after 3 long months they returned my application as invalid. Subsequently I resubmitted the same application on the claim that it was not an invalid application. Even that application was returned invalid.
Therefore I made another application outside immigration laws which was FLR(O). During my stay in UK I was involved with many Christian organizations and Churches. I was also working with lot of autistic kids and people with special needs. In the FLR(O) application I mentioned about my Church activities and social works and gave evidence of the same. That application was rejected, and asked me to return to India and file for a tier 2 minister of religion visa. Subsequently with the help of a solicitor I sought an appeal from the first tier tribunal, and the court granted me an appeal on the ground that my first application was submitted to the home office at the time when I had valid leave to remain in UK. I withdrew the appeal and left UK within 28 days of my appeal withdrawal. I have now tried to give you a brief description of my UK immigration history.
Please comment. Any pieces of advice would be highly appreciated.
Thank you very much,
