SET(M) Application Refused at Croydon Today
Hello members,
My brief Immigration History
Enter Uk May 2010 as PSW Dependent of my wife. (After my wife got her PSW visa in Dec 2009)
Switch to Tier 1 General Dependent of my wife in Feb 2012, As my wife got her Tier 1 General Visa in Feb 2012
In June 2014 ,Switch to FLRM (2.5 Years ) Suppose Visa as, My wife Got her ILR on 10 Years Base in May 2014
After all the discussion with friends and different solictors and getting in touch with Home office to ask about me applying for SET(M) even tough my FLRM is 2.5 Years and i applied for my FLRM after 06 April 2014, yet i have to discuss the pre july 2012 rules as i came to this country way ahed of rules,
Any how i booked a P.E.O Appointment at Croydon on 21/07/14 for my SET(M) paying all the fee of £ 1493, Although i had use every possible means to discuss my case before going for SET(M) application, even today before entering the home office i call home office and after when i explain pre july 2012 rules toto the operator i was told to hold the line and then after almost 10 Minutes wait the operator came back with a positive answer saying that as i was dependent of my wife before July 2012 rules and then continulsely spend more then 2 years on same status that is why aim eligible for ILR even tough I applied for my FLRM after 06-04-14.
Today i went with my wife to Apply in person for my SET(M) all went absolutely well and i was not told that weather my application is invalid or i can not apply or any thing as such from cashier to Register officer and then biometric no body said any thing and then i was told that a decision will be made within 90 minted and we shell wait in the rest area/cafeteria.
Me & my wife both were on cloud 7 soo happy i could not believed what happen Until we were called at document collection point, I lithely jumped with joy while people staring at me as for the fact i knew its done we were not called for consultation or any thing which suggest that my application was valid Butttttttttt Story starts here
Application Refuse as i does not qualify for ILR until June 2109 as my FLRM was issued after 06-04-14 and also 2.5 was issued to me. I request the officer from whom i collected my docs and refusal letter that i want to see any one to dicuss the possibility of attest refund money , at my request we meet Croydon Branch Manger lady very nice , she took us to her office on 4th floor we sat there and then i explain all satiation of July 2012 rules and also that i had call home office so many times and i was told i do qualify.
The batch manger was really nice and polite and explain every thing according to her i does not qualify for ILR till 2019 as i applied and was granted FLRM visa after 06th April 214, then i request her if it is possible to do the refund as we only submit the application as per the info given but she said it is not possible as our application is now been processed and refused.
No words to express the satiation trough which me and my wife are going since this after noon . in totally i have lost a huge amount of extremely hard earn money and on top of that a refusal tag as well.
Application Fee: £ 1493
All other expenses for the day : £ 40
In total £ 1533 & Refusal tag into my home office file
Is their any way to try for the refund of the Application money as my heart is Sinking (Money+Refusal & 5 Years wait
