The 16 days gap was the loophole that they found in their record which I did not even realised at the time of application. In fact, after the refusal, I requested their copies of record (Data Protection Unit), then I realised that from the boarding pass and started remember why. I was careful enough...
Hi Respected immigrationboards.com community :) I have been in the UK with my husband from our A-levels (full boarding school) period since 1997. It has been nearly 12 years now we are legal residents in the UK (taking into account being legal under appeal pending processes etc and switched visa etc...
I am not sure if I can appeal :( I have been refused from right of appeal from the beginning because the excuse that HO has is that I still had my current leave to remain at the time. I have never known that you can be refused from right to appeal just because you have an active visa whilst applying...
I have been refused from ilr under 10 years category definitely now-HO won't budge. I am not sure if I can appeal further :( I have been refused from right of appeal from the beginning because the excuse that HO has is that I still had my current leave to remain at the time. I have never known that ...
Hi guys Thanks for this, I have booked flights that will allow me to arrive at Heathrow airport 7 days before my visa expires. Will I have problem to get in with my dependant? Because for student visa extension, that can be only be done at the Home Office in UK not British Embassy in Kuala Lumpur. Y...
Victoria The passports are with us. The application has been refused but we sent a letter request for reconsideration in light with new information (as per previous postings). It is no longer an application but some sort of appeal; but because my current visa is still active until the end of october...
Hi William Thanks for the responses. I have been in touch with my lawyer every week now. He had been helpful when he got the time. He has been very busy. He advised me that since I have to go back to Malaysia this 11th October, I can apply for student visa extension whilst the reconsideration proces...
Thanks Sunnyday My lawyer thinks it won't be cancelled so I am ok so far. However, I m still wondering; could we ask them to decide quicker? I have to go abroad in couple of weeks now - meaning i may have to extend my visa at PEO for £500 (More money! :cry: ) since I can only apply 28 days before t...
Hi - The title of the post asked if anyone has been rejected when applied ILR so I came in because my application has been refused. But I have not found an answer yet; Will my current requests for reconsiderations/appeals will be cancelled if I extend my visa to resit exam/finish my one last paper w...
Yes, but only in UK - We are not registered as married in Malaysia yet. Where are you from William Blake? I hope you will be luckier than me when getting the pr.
If I extend my visa until next year, what will happen to my current application for permanent residence? Will that still be valid ie Can we still continue to ask to reconsider and approach Member of Parliament if still refused?
Sorry sunny i forgot to answer your question; yes i was refused at the reception but what i should have done (according to a friend who got away with ilr); i should have argued with the receptionist politely asking to talk with the officer inside and showed all of documents of evidences of 10 years ...
Well, the thing that I am stucked with; it is MY wedding; the only problem is it is not me who organised it;it's my mother in law-and as far as we know a no is not an aswer to her. I just wish the HO would cpme back to me asap to let me off with that ilr - will make like so much easier living here i...
Hi My ILR 10 years category has been refused but next week I will have stayed in the UK for 10 years (on 8th September 2007). I went to a lawyer and he sent a letter of reconsideration. I need to go back to Malaysia for a wedding. Please can anyone advise if I should apply for student visa extension...

Thanks Jes2jes for the advice. I am afraid my mother in law has sent out all of the invitations out - meaning I cannot escape the wedding the family has organised. I am so stucked! A friend managed to get a 1 year extension visa after posting her application (She was resitting one paper last year). ...
Thanks so much for enlighten me on this matter. So much help-i m so grateful! I have a wedding that I cannot miss this October therefore have already booked a flight to go back to Malaysia on the 11th. My current leave to remain will expire on the 31st October hence I can only apply for extension 28...
Well like the arguments set forward by the lawyers; At the time of that 16 days gap, I was in Malaysia due to family illness, the British embassy refused to accept any visa application due to September 11 attack (they closed for 1 year i think), and the system at the time,people obtain or extend vis...
Ha ha ha :lol: You guys really keep me sane. At time like this something like this really helps: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ sakura wrote: Hmmm....great argument. "I should be allowed to stay in the UK because I have debts to pay off...th...
Sorry I forgot to answer your question. No, according to the letter I received, I do not have the right of appeal because I still have my current visa active which will expire this 30 October 2007. How come I have never heard of this before? That you don't have the right to appeal if you still have ...
Thanks William Blake for your respond. I am not sure yet. The lawyers have sent a letter requesting the caseworker to exercise his/her discretionary right for my case on the 24th August 2007. But I am really worried over the outcome. A close family friend has advised me to approach the Member of Par...
I have applied for ILR under 10 years category and I have met all of the requirements (even never been out of the UK exceeding 3 months at any given time and yes, i have met the less of 18 months of total absences); but the caseworker has managed to refuse my PR status because; Over a couple of week...
Yes, I rang Home Office 5 times before I went to the PEO (booked an appointment) and I was assured that I would be seen. How untrue this is. But a friend who actually had the same experience said that I was too soft and that I should have asked to see the officer because according to her, it is norm...
