My Tier 1 visa got rejected and given chance to appeal, I just want to my chances to appeal, if it's slim, what are my options, the detailed procedures etc. I just need to seek a legal advice for ...

Hi, I have been reading a lot here, there is a grace period of 28 days from the date of refusal. Is this valid? or word of mouth among us? or just past experience? I have checked HO websites, there is nothing mentioned about this grade period. I've been trying to call their hotline, but no luck gett...

It's been 10 weeks since I applied, still no news! I called them again this morning, the operator said my application STILL under consideration! I requested if I can ask for urgent treatment, due to the need to go abroad soon. What she replied was, I can't do that, but I can withdraw my application ...

Dear all, here are the dates wrt my Tier 1 (general) application: Application pack submitted by Special delivery : 30 December 2008 Acknowledgement date : 31 December 2008 Credit card charged : 2 Jan 09 To date (23 Feb), still no news from them whatsoever. I have tried to ring them up many times, th...

Application sent : 30 Dec 08 by Royalmail special delivery
Fee deducted : 31 Dec 08 (Impressively fast this one!)

Acknowledged application/payment/reference number : 3 Jan 09

latest status as on 13 Feb 09 : no news whatsoever

Which number should I call to check the progress of the application?

Hi, IF you are given right to appeal, that usually has to be done in 28 days. Otherwise, you are given 28 days (some say 15) grace period to leave the country.

I'm pretty sure it's typo

Hi all, I wondered how HO return ur passport and documents to us?
via Royalmail standard delivery or Special delivery or courier?

My flat is not entirely secure to receive important documents via Royalmail standard delivery.

Please advice.

Hi, if you haven't done anything wrong with your application and you are qualify, I don't see there is anything you have to worry about it. I saw from another thread (namely Dec 08 application timelines), one guy waited 2 months to get the approval last week, not because there is problem in his appl...

Hi, I was currently on IGS visa, presently expired. So, if I got rejected, I will have to leave! And I have read from other threads, a refusal due to applicant's mistake cannot be appealed! any thought? I ONLY aware of that (> £800 in account everyday) after application submitted, so I am now prepa...

obviously you have a point there,
seek legal advise from immigration lawyer and launch an appeal!


good luck

between 15 and 28 days, makes a big difference.
does anyone has any experience?

appreciate it
