Hi guys its a week since I recieved that dreaded decision from UKBA. I have made some progress and I am cautiously optimistic now. Through contacts here I have managed to talk to a Barrister, a Solicitor and my MP. They all agreed that the decision was not right. My solictor had agreed to request a ...
Okey, this morning I got feedback from my MP's office. The lady sent me an email stating that UKBA have agreed to conduct a review of the decision and they will contact me in 14 days. She says that if they haven't got back to me by 13th Aug then I should contact her and chase this up. Now I am not w...
I attended an appointment with a solicitor today. Like many of us here he found alot wrong with the decision. So there is cautious optimism that this decision will be changed. He is going to file a letter for reconsideration, He took my passport and he will send this away on Monday He advised that m...
Hi guys, I told you that I will post back and so far the response has been positive. Going by the contacts given to me here, I managed to contact a few barristers in London. I was asked to email the decision and their reply was that it was a shocking decision. I was advised that a Judicial review wo...
Try drummond miller in queen street in edinburgh. I have never used a solicitor myself, but people talk good about them, with regards to immigration matters. They are free, and can take very long I hear. Good luck Thanks for the reference chemu. I have already booked an appointment with them this c...
Hi Guys, Thanks very much for all your input. I have looked at all the referenced material provided, I will put it to a good solicitor next week and whatever they tell me I will update you accordingly. Because you've been good to me, I will release the deatils of the outcome whatever way it goes wor...
Dear Jon336, I am really sorry that your application was refused due to some lame reason. I know we are all making some guess work here and it is being counter-productive. Perhaps you will know more when you talk with an experienced solicitor who knows what he is talking about. However, from what I...
It seems this is a new legal minefield; we shall find out. I welcome all your opinions. what i didn't want is to waste time and money on this issue again. That's why I wanted to find out whether there are grounds to overturn this decision. As for applying in a different category, yes that's an optio...
Thanks Kumar. I think you explanation makes more sense; though when the decision was made the period referred to was from 30th June to 26th Sept. For me it doesn't make sense at all since you can't make an out of time application out of the country I suspect that the 20th Sept refusal may be an issu...
What do you think about this example from the UKBA guidelines regarding ILR? Example 1 A person has leave in the UK that expires on 15 September 2008. The person departs the UK before their leave expired on 10 September 2008. Whilst the person is abroad, they obtain fresh entry clearance and re-ente...
Thanks Sufferhead, I will take note of the number. Problem is tha I live in the Scottish capital- Edinburgh so I am 500 miles away but if it means traveling I will do it- though I am really exhausted. Just tired of dealing with UKBA.
Stay safe and be happy
derlin you are implying that I had to renew my leave before it expired on 30th June 2005? even if I was out of the country by the time, can you give me any quotation by the letter of law where this is referenced?. Section C as far as I am concerned deals with application made inside the country. I ...
derlin, I assumed that since I had limited leave to remain when I left the country the was no way I could have made an out of time application outside the country. Out of time applications, I thought apply to those the have been made inside the country. See below Continuous residence means residence...
[/quote] Mate fight till the end and shame them. Bring this joke of an organisation down. Soon turning out to be one of my objectives in life this. :evil:[/quote] Sometimes you wonder whethet its even worth it. The incompetency exhibited by UK PLC puts many failed states to shame. For all the money ...
Thanks Kim, this shouldn't worry you guys though, you will soon get your passports back with good news and I will update you with what's happening with my case.
I am trying to book an appt with a lawyer. Being so far out of London does not help. But I have faxed it over and they think they can "fight" it on my behalf. The fees are going to be exorbitant but I have no choice. If anybody here lives in Edinburgh or Glasgow and they know a good solici...
ryan I left the UK with valid leave and came back with valid leave even if it was a fresh grant. The examples you are giving just confirm what I think are my circumstances.
I maybe getting this the wrong way but based on the 2nd example I think the decision is wrong.
Quantum the Refusal goes like this: The first few paras state all the in time applications and extensions i made since 2002 when I came in the UK then below it starts to get tasty: You applied in time as a student on 24th Feb2004 but were refused on 05 April 2004 You lodged an appeal on 16th April ...
Nov there was sufficient time for me to get back to the UK when I left but its also stated clearly that lawful residence for the purpose in which my decision was made that is paragraphs 276B to 276D and 276ADE. (a) "continuous residence" means residence in the United Kingdom for an unbrok...
I was refused on grounds of failure to meet the requirements of para 276B(i)a of the immigration rules.
I have checked the whole document again and I feel I have been unfairly treated but I am not panicking yet just disheartened. I just need to find out what to do next.
Nov that's exactly what I am looking at and I would expect my case to suit those circumstances but I have been refused either through my ignorance or their error
I did it alone Loveislovely was thinking that my case was well fine. I am going through the UKBA guidelines again to see whether I got it wrong but so far I feel this was the wrong decision. I still have 6 months on my current visa ano no appeal rights on this decision so I may have to see an Immigr...
