It may help if you can state when you received the application that was returned by the HO on 22 June 2010. Or is that the date you received it in the post? Or if not is there a specific reason why the re-submission of the application took over a month?

You mention that it says 'Application Status ON TIME' - is this mentioned on the HO SAR records sent to you?

It's true that if you normally have a gap of over 28 days then that breaks continuous residence. But there may be specifics around invalid applications/declined payments which you need to check to understand whether your circumstances would in fact result in such a break.

Application received from HO end of june.
I have written the covering letter to HO regarding the late submission
Passport Expired
Having final exams and have attached the exams sheets
Bank letter they have mentioned that payment has been declined for security reason.

SAR form says application status is on time. which i applied on 09-08-2010

please advise what should i do now?

Based on that then the application re-submission was after 28 days from when it was returned as invalid.

Based on the continuous residence guidance a break of 28 days would be considered a break. See following for further info. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... ds-v13.pdf

However as your SAR record appears to indicate that the application was in-time, it's unclear if there was a break or if discretion was applied due to some reason, to consider the application as made in time.
