Hello,

Based of what you have just said:

1. Your SET(M) application was difered and is likely to be refused.

2. You cannot switch in-country due to your current status and must do out outside of the UK by lodging your EC application to your local BHC or Embassy.

Normally you cannot appeal against an administrative removal, apart from very limited and exceptional cases. You can lodge a visa application once being removed. An administrative removal is an assisted return home at the cost of British taxpayers. If you can buy a ticket yourself it would be better...

It is next to impossible to revoke the visa, unless a deception under s19 1999 Act can be proved.

I would honestly say, no...Unless you spent xxxx into your time or a lawyer time...Again, a conflict of interests is possible, so a lawyer may not wish to take a case like that...

In the UK immigration law any absence of 6 or more months breaks the residency. 10 months is surely enough to break it.

Hello,

I am sorry to say but there is no chance for you to regularize your status in the UK.

Even if you find a new partner you will have to leave the UK...to do the whole thing again (UK spouse visa under para 281 HC 395, for example).

The Home Office never reconsidres their decisions without taking the cases to the court. You must lodge your Notice of Appeal (AIT1) as soon as you can, and within the 10 days from teh deemed date of serving the refusal on you.

Yes, but with the very compassionate situation (a client was taken as a hostage; or was in a coma; or his pasport was locked inteh room of a person you died).
