Regarding the pandemic exception, it may be worth collecting evidence of the Covid travel restrictions.

I did precisely that. I made a chronological timeline of the restrictions imposed and uplifted of both the countries, the one I was stuck in (India) and the UK.

An update on this, after doing some digging: I had booked a return trip from BOM - LDN (22nd September 2023), and the return LDN - BOM (8th May 2024) because it is always cheaper to book a return instead of a one way flight. This was 6 months before applying for ILR. I did not board this flight (th...

I have hidden the personal stuff, but is this Home Office's language? And I did not travel and they are saying that my application is withdrawn because I travelled? If you did not travel after applying, then 34K does not apply. Then they may have mistaken you for someone else. Are the other details...

Yes, there are couple of persons whose application got withdrawn for travelling out of UK CTA before decision was made on their application. Did you use a solicitor? Was this email passed to you by your solicitor? Did you travel at any point after submitting your application? Are you currently in t...

i do not want to be director or shareholder.

Can I know why you dont want to be a director? What is the reason behind this?

Hi Mozude, May I ask what docs you gave during your extension of sole rep visa to proove you had done the business? Hey there, Absolutely, happy to share. What really seemed to make a difference was a solid cover letter where I laid out everything clearly. I believe that played a big part in swingi...

The concession you are seeking is going to be a minor miracle to achieve. By your own admission you have returned to India for prolonged periods outside of COVID. The business achievements are not in anyway related to your periods outside the country or a commitment to undertake the activities of y...

I think it is unlikely but again this is my opinion as any discretion is up to the UKVI. The argument is that between February 2020 and October 2021, it was almost impossible for you to return which I think may not be accepted. I remember many did not travel because they did not want to pay for tes...

This is up to the UKVI but you have a very long break. Most people believe that simply citing the pandemic is a good reason but it is more complicated than that. Travel was indeed disrupted but UK borders were open and travel to the UK was possible throughout the pandemic (it was not easy or straig...

I've been on a Representative of an Overseas Business visa for five years, facing a significant challenge due to a prolonged absence of over 500 days, primarily due to a personal accident and the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite these setbacks, I successfully established the business I was tasked with, la...
