I cannot recall the types of visa but but she had student visas until the HO issued exceptional leave to remain visas. She only has the latest visa in her passport because the HO lost the original passport and she had to obtain a new passport. I am positive that the HO records show that she has alw...
Thanks very much for your comments, everyone. Seems to me that I only get very little (or maybe no) chance to get ILR this year because of the ‘gap’. Could anyone kindly recommend me any lawyer/adviser who are specialised in this area? I would like to know my possibility of success, really donâ...
The new and revised immigration application forms for applications made on or after 29 February 2008 are now available from this website. If you are making your application before 29 February, you must do so on the existing form, which is marked 'version 04/2007' or 'version 05/2007'. If you are app...
THE OP Wrote: Yes i did leave in Sep 2003 and came back in Nov 03 with WHM. My student visa expired in Sep 30th 2003 (i left on 29th Sep). Since, your SV expired overseas, I am afraid this is a gap and you did not have an existing LTR whilst abroad. There was an elapsed time of two months therefore ...
That's just about me leaving this forum at the end of the month, nothing else. Though it does seem that this week has really been a turning point for immigration in the UK, in many ways. Victoria Why are you leaving? Did anyone offend you? What happened to Avi Jones by the way? NB: WB - I am sorry ...
Guys sorry I did not know that one could be in the UK for 10 years on a student visa and still be eligible for ILR. So I guess the op is a professional Student!???? Does it pay well? I bet the HO are thinking that! Studying for 10 years is not 'abnormal' in this country. People are brought over her...
dear friends, thanks thanks a lot for your valuable guidance and help. one more and last thing i want to ask you is: WILL THE USCIS inform me that the xxx person have complaint against you and WILL THE USCIS give me any opportunity to clarify it i.e. right of appeal? dear friends i am very thankful...
Also does anyone have the answer to paulp's question? The question I have here is whether Immigration Officers at the airport can see failed applications such as the OP's father's. I vaguely remember a while back somebody on the board was in this particular situation (failed ILR) but I can't rememb...
So I wonder what happens if you refuse to take part in this violation of your privacy? I certainly would not be at all happy with giving my fingerprints like some common criminal. And how do you know that they destroy the data in 24 hours? That's as unlikely as MI5 not listening in on an MP's conve...
Summary Passengers transferring on to domestic flights at Heathrow Terminal 1 are now required by the Border and Immigration Agency to provide biometrics data (fingerprints and a digital photograph) in the domestic lounge. When boarding, fingerprints will be checked, and, if necessary, the photo wi...
hi jes, Thank you for your opinions - I really appreciate them. And the same goes to everybody else who contributed. By the way why did you not apply for ILR in August or September 07 according to this?: I was tied down with work/travel, and did not take the life in the Uk test until end november. ...
Thank you for all the replies. It's looking more positive now. I know I keep throwing doubts into my own application, but there are 2 facts worth examining: 1) I was not returning to continue an existing university course. I came back to start a new post-grad course. 2) Hence, the Home Office could...
After I completed my degree in July 1999, I was offered entry into a postgraduate course at the University and I accepted it. I departed the UK on the 30 August 1999 for a vacation and returned on 21 September 1999. On my arrival back in the UK on 21 September 1999, I was granted a fresh leave to e...
Thanks jes2jes... 1. Did you learn of the rejection of the FLR extension when your ppt was sent after the 4 months or in and around Feb 07? 2. Was your appeal still in process whilst you got the second WP and FLR through the new employer. 1. I received a letter from HO with my ppt only by then I ca...
Thank you for the reply My previous employer applied for FLR on FEB 07. But since the Work Permit extension application was rejected, HO send the passport back to me after 4 months. My then solicitors advised me to appeal and we did that. Again the case went against me. By that time, I've found a n...
I came to uk as a student in sept 2007 Did you mean 1997? :o My visa was expired on 6th feb 2002 and i applied by post on 4th feb 2002 and home office saying they logged in my application on 15th feb 2002. Well, if you have evidence this was mailed on the date you are purporting then that is fine, ...
It looks like they were correct by asking me to obtain a fresh VISA to come back. mm, it will be interesting to know whether the home office will be strict in applying this rule and rejecting the application. I was afraid of this and it is true. As I said earlier, you can chance it and apply and se...
Hi! Thanks for your reply. When I went to USA I have leave to remain in UK as a visitor. ( It's not a proper VISA which is normally a printed with your photo, rather it's a stamp that you get when apply for extension of leave as a visitor or as a postgraduate dentist) S.No VISA Details VISA Type Fr...
Helped alot thanks guys. So if he is successful in obtaining a ILR, would we get it too? I don`t think dependants can be included under an ILR application based on the 10 year rule..I think you`ll have to qualify on your own accord. Yes. that's true. Your mum will have to simultaneously submit a sp...
Yes he will be here for 10 yrs in nov 2009, so he is going to apply for ILR in 2011? I have just had the chance to look through your dad's dates: Considering he has no gaps(?), please tell your dad to make a SAB Request, he would be eligible for ILR under the LRC in October 2009 (28 days before his...
I left to USA on 26th Dec 02 and obtained a fresh entry clearance as a dependant on my wife. I must say the british ambassy people in USA were rather surprised too, like me, why would I need a fresh EC when I already got a VISA with leave remaining until June 03. I got it done as I was advised to d...
I guess a little time searching the board would answer your questions. by the way look at the following two threads: http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=20596&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=20 http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?p=136588&highlight=#136588 All ...
