Indefinite Leave to Remain (10 Years Route)

Post by hoissues » Tue Jun 28, 2016 10:07 pm

Hi All,

Hope you all are doing fine.

I have been a silent reader and reading ILR related information of people facing issues with their applications.

Now is the time to share mine. Hope you guys can help me out too.

I am from Pakistan but I was born in UAE. i never lived in Pakistan and have no social or family ties within. All my family, friends lives in UAE but unfortunately due to residence permit restrictions i had to give up my UAE residence permit in 2012. Which means i cannot go back to the country where i was born and cannot even go back to Pakistan because i never lived there.


Issue:
In 2006 my father passed away and i had to travel back to Dubai and stayed there for 65 days due to all pathetic rules and regulations of UAE government.
In 2011 my mother fell badly ill and I had to travel back and had to stay there for 182 days in total due to my moms surgery and i had to look after her. Therefore, In total of 10 years I stayed all together 547 days which in comparison to HO laws should be 540 days.

My ILR refused due to the 182 days stayed outside the UK in one go which considered to be broken period. Though i provided medical related evidence of my mother's and also provided my dads death certificate but the case worker didn't take these two evidence into consideration.

The case worker also mentioned in the refusal letter that i was born in Pakistan and have strong ties with the country which is not the case.

My case is based on ILR continuous residence (10 Years).

i came to UK in Aug 2004.
Granted visas every year.

Jan 2011 Granted ( PSW) for 2 years).

December 2013 PSW expired and extended visa as Tier 1 General valid until June 2014.

Applied FLR(O) In June and before the decision in August I took the advantage of 28 days, applied ILR based on 10 years continuous residence.

Refused ILR on the 17th November 2014 and given the right of Appeal.

Appeal Allowed Under Immigration rules and Article 8 ECHR ON 21 May 2015
Home Office Challenged "Permission to Appeal in November 2015

FTT refused permission to appeal on 26 May 2016.
Letter received by HOME 1st June -Granting leave to remain (30 Months) enclosed documents.


After all above, i have my solicitor who wrote HOME OFFICE that we won this appeal under immigration rules and article 8 ECHR and must get indefinite leave to remain. Its been more than 3 weeks now and I am still waiting for HOME OFFICE to get back to me with response.

Any thoughts on the above people. Really confused, your opinion and suggestions are welcome.


Regards,
