Hello,
Asking for a friend who is desperate for some advice.
Situation: My friend who is non-eu citizen was married to UK citizen in 2013. He received FLR (M) from Aug 2013 till Feb 2016. In mid 2015 he set up his own business and therefore he didn't have annual accounts and tax stuff from HMRC ready for Feb so based on a solicitors advice he applied for Family/Private life application in Feb 2016. This is however refused in Aug 2016 with an Out of Country appeal.
The solicitor later in Sept 2016 applied for FLR(M) extension with all proper documents including tax documents to show salary requirements.
Refusal: Today he received a refusal letter stating his previous leave as spouse ended in Feb 2016 and he has been without valid leave in the UK in excess of 28 days. He, therefore, fails to fulfill E-LTRP.2.2 of Immigration Rules. But the fact is he applied for Family/Private life application before the 1st FLR(M) expired.
Now, he has an option to appeal within 14 days with Tier 1 tribunal.
Can someone kindly suggest what are his best options?
