Hi My appeal is dismissed on 09 May 13. When is deadline to re apply under 28 days? Simple understanding is exactly 28 days of decision , but does it include appeal time as well because the leave is extended until appeal time? So it would be 28+5 days? Or even postal time. Would appreciate if any of...

Hi Annoyed Thanks. The soilicitor that I have consulted says the decision could be either way. So it made me more confused.. Yes, I am also positive but it is not 100% sure, that is why I am concerned. When is the deadline if I wanna forward new extension application as an overstayer? The date of de...

Hi Annoyed, Many thanks for your reply. Ok, I could wait 12 weeks if HO is definitely grantin me ILR or allowing me to apply for extension of T1, but if in case they did not do any of these and said we corrected our removal decision (but refusal is still valid). In that case, I will miss this 28 day...

Hi I appealed against the refusal of my IlR based on excessive absence from UK. I was also given notice of removal at the time of ILR refusal. The judge I think allowed appeal but not fully because in his decision he says "the appeal against the decision to remove is allowed because that notice...

Thanks for the response.

Yes I think the new guidline also doesnt overcome my problem. Instead, my point is, I applied when old rules were in force where they can exercise discretion - so can i appeal to apply old rules and use the discretion?

Hi I applied for ILR (2 yrs work permit + 3 yrs Tier 1) but refused because of long absences. When I was under work permit, I had to stay overseas and spent about 300 days outwith UK in the first year. I applied ILR in june 2012 and got the refusal decision recently in December 2012. I decided to go...

Thank you very much for your suggestions. Do you have any recommendations for the Solicitors in London? I got a few, but could not decide where to go. Also, I am not sure how to answer these questions in the application form Tier 1 General extension, can you ps help me with this too? 1) When does yo...

Thank you so much friends for your comments and suggestions. Having seen your comments, I came with the following ideas. Can you guide me further pls.? 1) Still I am not very clear whether 'appeal" against the decison for refusing ILR (10 days given for that) and the application for the extensi...

@spidery-thread Thanks again for your help. As you mentioned I have to have a strong reason to appeal- I initially thought I have, but now I realised it may not be a strong one because I stayed in overseas for a long time (even about 9 mo in one year though I was still working for a UK company). Thu...

@spidery-thread Many thanks for the response. Just for further details on your comment - If I can reapply for Tier 1 general, do I have to send seperate application (including all the documents but my passport is with them) for extension? Or I can ask them while appealing saying that I would like to...

Hi, My IRL is refused and the current tier 1 general visa is expired by the time decision is made. However, I never extended my Tier 1 general visa because I was under work permit before Tier 1 visa and by combining them I made 5 years to be eligible to apply for ILR. Now, I have given the opportuni...

you can extend your visa within 28 days from 17dec. 28 days is given also after any stay under 3C when the decision is pending..so than you can apply again for ILR but chose right time for the application in the middle period of your absence..than if it more than 180 it will cut in half like 179+17...

Hi My ILR is refused, the reason they gave to me is that I did not maintain the continuous stay here in the UK. I had to spend significant amount of time in Overseas as a part of my Job but I was working (at UK based organisation - my salary was paid in UK bank account, tax/NI were paid here). Was ...
