i have questions, please have a look: 1. lawyer went to BIA / IND, same day service, they advised to submit by post due to the fact that there was no UK stamp on return in the airport, and they needed to check landing cards ! but there is the outgoing Ukrainian stamp, why is it not enough?

Hi people,

my lawyer said that i cannot apply 28 days before the 10th year

but the email from home office (that i received 2 yrs ago) to the same question was saying ok, you can apply 28 days before the end of the tenth year.

hi Paulp, thank you for your reply and i am grateful for others' replies too. i have not yet applied, and i should be eligible in mid July this year. but i am really disapointed if they refuse ILR simply based on the lack of proof of applying on time, just unfair. :( its just not normal to keep all ...

guys thank you very much for your reply and technically i agree , however........ i heard that a lawyer did not want to take a similar case because there was such a gap (due to HO oonsideration) because the applicatn must produce a proof that the application was made on time and the applicant did no...

I heard that the following is considered to be a gap: If my previous visa expired end of Dec and my new visa started (as per the stamp) from end of Feb (gap being of 2 or 3 months) due to BIA taking long time to decide and I applied/mailed my application before the end of Dec (in other words before ...

here is the case of my friend. The poor guy is afraid to fight for it but I am trying to help and looking for a solution.

hi my visa expires on 30 of November 2006. if i send the COA application on 31 of August 2006 and the Home Office receives it on 1st of September would that be too late for it. i know it is very silly to do that, we are on holiday and coming back on 31. i thought it would be ok since i thought that ...
