Congrats on your success, l admire your bravery. The home office asked for a pause in 322(5) issues. They are currently reviewing their decisions on the use of 322(5) internally. They were meant to conclude their reviewing ending of June but l believe they are currently running late. The Members of ...

The general environment have not been softened fully, you still need a barrister and a good one at that,that is familiar with 322(5) issues to defend your case. Am surprised that you didnt know that HO normally responds late and l don't know if you have gone through their own bundles too. lf you had...

Hi forum members, l received a response from admin team and they informed me that the AR has been completed since last month march ending but they said they can see it still pending on royal mail system. They said they will send out a second copy. Yesterday, l received a delivery which l believe to ...

Thanks Casa for coming to my rescue. it saved me the repetition. My employment was a combination of PAYE and self employed. lt is in the past now but if l could turn back the hand of the clock considering what l have gone through l would definitely ply another route. please, forum members who have d...

Hi everyone, My situation is taking another shape. l have not received the decision of my AR neither did l receive any advice of delays from the AR team. So l spoke to a solicitor and he advised me to wait then. My mini UKVI team(my employers) did ECS checks and informed me yesterday that l no longe...

Any help pls.

Thanks for your advice. Please, l need some clarity on my line of thought in trying to understand my situation better. As am within 10 yrs continuous lawful residence. Does the below guidance statement from 1st paragraph of page 9 of long residence guidance apply to me. "Once an applicant has b...

It is understood that one is granted visa on the earnings he/she claimed to Home Office but l do not understand why is expected that the earnings should actually match with HMRC if it is not the same accounting period. For example, if earnings shown to home office is from Jan to Dec and when filling...

Any advice please.

First visa was granted as student on 10th of march 2008. Entered UK 7th April 2008. Proceeded to PSW then to tier 1 general route. First refusal: Applied Jan 2016 ILR tier 1 general at a PEO. Reasons for refusal: lmmigration rules paragraph 322(5),paragraph 19(i),(j) and 245CD(b)(g). Still have exta...

Hi Turton, I have been waiting since Feb 2016. You said your husband recently got granted a visitors visa. I was told by a solicitor last year when l wanted my husband to apply for a visitors visa to visit me that it is baseless because am currently on section 3c leave. Was yours on compassionate gr...

Atimes people are being advised to wait out for the tier 1 general lLR application without fully weighing the trend of what is obtainable at the moment with current tier 1 general application with HO. The statistics obtainable from HO said that 965 application was refused from Jan 2016 to June 2017....

Hi ekoonibaje,

Congratulations on your victory, your victory just gave me hope. Mine is the same with yours-genuine amendment, complex letter, contact MP though MP have not responded, recent interview. Really scared and nearly depressed.Am hoping my delay will not be denial.

Hi Patel I wil tell you my own experience and l believe you will figure out which way to go. I received such letter as yours. In my situation , l paid some of the fees from a cheque from my own account and the remaining with a credit card. The Home office accepted the cheque and sent a request for t...

@baitrical, am a little confused as the reason why you are presenting the letter. I though that as a tier 1 general you are allowed to work as self employed even at your annual leave period as employee if you are working for different person. For example, if you took paid annual leave from a company...

Just updating, l received 2 posts on Saturday from home Office. One dated 6th March apologised for the delays and the difficulties am going through saying it is because they wanted to invite me for interview as part of the processing of my application (never heard of that one before). The other one ...

@Vegeta, thanks for your response. I believe you meant emailing the MP explaining difficulty am experiencing in seeking audience with him. I might do that but was wondering if it wil not end where first two email are. Yesterday, l received an email requesting me to confirm availability for an interv...

Congrats @Strada and @Ray for being able to get your MP to write on your behalf to home office. I have been struggling to get hold of my MP for 7 weeks now. The receptionist that answers his phone said he is extremely busy. ln my constituency the procedure is to book an appointment before you can se...

OK,l can see a miracle just happened. I have suffered for some time. Have called the office and sent several email but can see my post now.

I can't believe l took out time and registered with this forum. Any time to post a response is refused and am labelled as scammer whilst am just networking to solve my problem.

I have been waiting as well since Feb 2016. Really tired and frustrated. I believe we deserve better than these. Have complained to MP, no news yet.

@Saleem, I was reading through your summary of your 5 years continuous stay. You T1G was first granted on dec 2011. You applied for extension on Nov 2013 it was rejected and was rather granted Oct 2014. You said it is to expire Oct 2017. How did you come about the 5year continuous stay because norma...

Hi guys, Just to let us know that the waiting game continues. I wrote to my case worker at the beginning of this month asking for timeframe HO needs to make the decision on my application. He responded yesterday saying there is no timescale that l have to continue waiting. Pls, guys l came across a ...

Hi DEMO, Whilst you are waiting for the gurus/senior member advice l want to confirm something from you. You said that your company licence was revoked in November and you got a curtailment letter. Is your tier 2 visa not linked with your continuous employment in that organisation. Was there no cond...

Hi Harry23, According to your rejection letter, they said your application has become invalid because it did not fulfil the requirement of paragraph 34L to 34Y of the immigration rule HCL 395 and immigration nationality fees regulation to be valid. My question is have you read in detail what this re...
