Best thing would be to contact a solicitor see if he thinks the rejection is incorrect:(

I'm scared now...

[prem_singh123]

If I were you, I would write to the caseworker explaining that they made a mistake as B1 is superior than A1. Any senior members correct me if I am wrong.

my wife visa is refuse beacuse of the english test the HO said it should be A1 but my course is equal to b1 what should i do now please senior members advice

Hi All,

I will be applying for my ILR in September based on long term residence. I have a long absence of around 246 days in a single year which makes my case a bit tricky.

I have spoken with few solicitors; most of them say that there is a 50/50 chance of me getting my ILR. I know bhamblues has just got his even when having a long absence. This gives me a bit of hope.

Do you know anyone else who has recently been granted ILR with them having a long absence when applying under 10 rule?

Hi Sergeant123,
That is exactly what my solicitor said 50/50 chance. But don't lose hope and give it a go! Can I ask what was the reason for ur long absence? Also when u were away from UK did u have a valid visa all along covering the absence?

I had a valid visa when I left and I came back on the same visa. I left because I was unable to pay my university tuition fee and had to defer my course for a year. I still have the original letter from the university which says that I am deferring my course for a year and will re-join the following year. This is what I did and then completed my course. When I had to renew my student visa in 2008 I did inform home office that I had a long absence and the reason for it. So they must have the record.

I cannot see the PM because I think this feature only becomes available once the members have a certain number of posts. So do you mind sending the solicitor's details to my personal email? Thanks mastersergeant1 at gmail dot com.

I am confuse I have done city and guild entry level 3 which is accepted for ilr and naturalisation but home office didnt accept for flrm

[tanz5656]

Hello
Can u please tell me what is exactly written on ur certificate and please match it with appendix o English level requirement and if u find exact certificate which is on list please phone home office and discuss with them and note the call timing and person name and if they give u positive feedback please write for review.

Please Help,

what happens when HO first mark your tier4 application as invalid,then refuse it with no right of appeal and then when your legal advisor sends them first protocol action and point out their negligence in the case and in return ukba straight sends you a letter while saying that we have reversed our decision and grant you leave to remain,does the applicant still remains overstayer in the ukba books and breaks continuous living or when the decision gets reversed then all is well.

ALL members,
Any updates on post 6th April 2014 rules for dependants of ILR (LR)??
haven't heard of any positive case in this category. Should we now assume that it will definitely a 5 year route with the clock resetting after flr(M)?
My wife entered as a Tier 1 general dependant in 2010 and I am dreading that FLRM will force us to count the time from level 0 again...
Any update from any member in such situation???

[khanzada123]

Yes the clock will reset again and have to show maintanence for 5 years to qualify for ILR...so we have to work hard again and make sure we dont get any benefits for 5 years...almost every one in the same situation.

Dont worry just write a letter to case worker. case worker name should be on refusal letter give a reference of the immigration rule it clearly states that applicant meet or exceed

take a print out from internet, highlight the relevant rule and post to case worker. here is the relevant rule



(ii) the applicant provides an original English language test certificate in speaking
and listening from an English language test provider approved by the Secretary of State
for these purposes, which clearly shows the applicant's name and the qualification
obtained (which must meet or exceed level A1 of the Common European Framework of
Reference) unless:

Hi all,

I received ILR in May and we applied for my partners flr(m) recently at peo. He was a pbs dependant pre July 2012. The letter states in order to qualify for settlement you must have completed a period of 2 years in the uk as a spouse.

We received the brp and that has been issued for 2 and a half years.

Does anyone know whether it is worth trying to book another appointment for settlement based on the letter stating 2 years.

Please help

Thanks

Thanks for the reply ik_aam_insan,
I had decided to go to the same route but this case has confused me and I am worried now.

I know there were few cases in here (including yours) getting 2 years, but Waqar's experience is scary

Hi Lemar,

So this means homeoffice is contradicting their own statement and confusing us more by stating 2 years on letter and 2.5 yrs on brp... I think you can try booking an appointment and can justify to the caseworker by showing the letter... please keep us posted.

[Lemar]

Hi gameofluck.

It's certainly confusing.

We want to take the chance and see what the outcome will be.

It's my understanding that we will only lose the 100pound booking fee if we are not eligible to apply - is this correct?

I will be sure to keep all updated on our experience.
