10 years long residence applications

[bb2012]

Dear Board members after six months ı have received a refusal letter ( over stayed more than 28 days in 2005). I am not going to appeal . I am allowed to get extension for my current visa which is ecaa 1 worker visa for turkih citizens in 28 days. plaese be careful for choosing a solicitor. My solicitor said that it is very straight forward case but ı understand now it wasn,t. ı waste very stresfull six months and money. Fortunately ı am allowed to apply for visa extension.

Hi Keepwaiting,

Could you please share notes on your refusal letter, what reason they have given on your refusal letter.

Thank you.

Best practice is to include covering letter with simple explanation, But its not Madatory .

I got refusal on my 10 years long resident visa application due to 170 days gap,but technically it was not gap.
please can you send me details, how do i go for HM courts & tribunal service,

if you have any solicitor dealing with this kind of issues please send me ,

what was happen in 2007 ,on 2007 my visa was expiring 30/10/2007 and I was applied by post on 15/10/2007 ,that was on time application.
Home office has sent me refusal letter 21/02/2008 , and I have re applied again as fresh application on 14/03/2008 that was within 28 days and Home office granted visa ,

but when I applied 10 years long residency , HO mention I have 170 days gap that was including the date applied in 2007 and second decision on 23/04/2008. they calculated time when the application with HO , That is really unfair .
Please can you help with same experience or expertise

Dear Rosevilla !

Sorry to hear that ur application is refused ..

Could you please tell us what was the reason of refusal of application ..

On your refusal did home office told you that u can apply fresh ? Did they allow u 28 days in the letter for fresh application ?

I will suggest u go to the barrister not to solicitor but you can take advice from solicitor as well .. After looking into the matter barrister will really tell you the chances ... I have no idea about any good solicitor or barrister. , other members in this forum can help you to find a good solicitor .. Although my experience with solicitor are not good ..

Best of luck !!

Hopefully you will win the appeal .. Make sure you do appeal on right time ...

Thanks

Shah

Hi rosevilla,

When HO sent you refusal letter on 21/02/2008, have they given you right of appeal with the refusal?
If yes then have you appealed the decision on 14/03/2008 or have you sent a fresh application on 14/03/2008?

Kind Regards

the refusal is totally incorrect because your first application was protected by section 3C until the refusal decision because you made a valid in time application, but you made fresh an out of time application which was within the 28 days according to the guideline published in 2013. Maybe the caseworker is following the old guideline which was prior to 2013 which allows a single gap (out of time application) of 10 days but you have of nearly 20 days.

Dear Friends,

My question is in regards to question D8 in set(lr) application,

D8. Have you ever stayed in the United Kingdom beyond the end of your period of leave?
Reason(s) why and the dates of the overstay:

I only once made an application out of time by three days in 2005, and it also shows three days out of time application in my SAR file,

Do I have to answer yes to above question and provide justification to why there was an out of time application or no as there is a discretion/exception give for 28 days out of time applications,

regards,
Fiaz

[Hardikjshah83]

does anyone what what could be the worst for OUT OF TIME ILR application.

basically looking at the

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... 1.0EXT.pdf

page 12, it says if the appeal and withdrawn and new application been sent at the same time the application is treated as out of time, even if that has been done on the same day. (exactly what I have done in my ILR application)

in case if my ILR get refused - will I not get appeal rights (because my application was out of time) pelase shed some lights?

thx.

Dear All
I rang the home office today at 0151-6725-626 opt 1 and then opt 2.
I have been told that my application has been passed over to a case worker for consideration but they can't confirm the date when it was assigned to the case worker.

Can someone confirm how long it can take from here.
My Timeline was as follows

Application sent: 06/01/2014
Acknowledgment issued: 08/01/2014
Biometric request issued: 16/01/2014
Biometric completed: 20/01/2014

I called just now and was told the same thing, "Its with the case worker". I applied on the 19th of December but enrolled my biometrics same day as you. I felt like it was a generic answer.
Come on Decembrites lets start sharing the good news.

Amazing!!! how ppl who applied in january are gettign this reply from the call centre! lol I applied on 3rd DEcember 2013 and they say its in progress with no further clue to what that means. Secondly i neevr call this number you are giving?? where did u guys get it from? I call 03001232241 which is their new number for england.

[arashmg]

I have also tried the 0151 number today and option 2 goes to another 2 option (that lead to no one answering).
I think maybe they disabled the option 2 forcing people to call 0300 number.

Hi Guys

I am new to this sectioon of the forum and have read people mentioning about SAR report. Can someone please give some details of what it is, whats its used for and where to get it from.

Also another question, if I completed degree in UK does this need to be confirmed with UK NARIC that it is ok for the english language requirement. I saw this note on the website which states.

"Degrees taught or researched in English
You’ll need to prove your degree was both:

taught or researched in English
confirmed by UK NARIC as the equivalent of a bachelor’s, master’s or PhD degree in the UK

https://www.gov.uk/english-language

I will really appreciate if someone can confirm

Many thanks in advance

SAR is Immigration report from DAY 1 in UK, Includes application details, Landing cards, Gaps etc.
You can visit below link. Link contains the application form for requesting SAR and the documents you will need to send them along with payment details.

Above statement for Non- UK degrees, If you have UK (Bachlors,MS,Phd) NARIC confirmation not required. If you have below bachelors level, you might need NARIC confirmation.

Dec & Jan guys hold on tight and hope for the best.
I just called them again and they said that decision has not been made on my application yet.
I applied on 26th Nov 2013.
So lets see how long they take to do November applications.
By the look of it I don't think they will start Dec applications in this week.

But yeah ......Lets hope for the best.

[KashRIz]

Well TBH I m not expecting answer before Easter. I dont see them starting JAN applications before Easter break but u never know with HO so keep tight guys.....I think it is as busy as it was in SEP and OCT but for some reason it does not reflect at SKYDIRIVE.

[tmoodi]

Hi Kashriz;

When I give a call to HO same ans under consideration.
