Hello, I've got a problem here. If any of you could think of a way out of this situation, please let me know..
Work Permits :
Issued From Issued Till
21 JUL 2002 - 6 MONTHS - 21 JAN 2003
06 JAN 2003 - 12 MONTHS - 06 JAN 2004
05 DEC 2003 - 12 MONTHS - 05 DEC 2004
-------------------GAP-------------------------
06/12/2004 - 13/11/2005
-------------------GAP-------------------------
14 NOV 2005 - 12 MONTHS - 14 NOV 2006
-------------------GAP-------------------------
15/11/2006 - 18/01/2007
-------------------GAP-------------------------
19 JAN 2007 - 12 MONTHS - 19 JAN 2007
FLR:
Issued on Issued till
19 JUL 2002 - 19 JAN 2003
06 JAN 2003 - 19 JAN 2004
05 DEC 2003 - 19 JAN 2005
----THERE IS A GAP HERE----
THERE IS NO FLR BETWEEN 20 JAN 2005 TILL 25 JAN 2005 according to Home Office. If they take the Issued on date as the Valid From Date, then there is another gap between 20 JAN 2007 till 30 JAN 2007, but they haven't mentioned that. So I don't really understand what they mean.
----THERE IS A GAP HERE
08 FEB 2005 - 19 JAN 2006
08 DEC 2005 - 19 JAN 2007
30 JAN 2007 - 30 JAN 2008
Home office have rejected my ILR appln saying that i do not satisfy the continuous 5 yrs clause and that i can't file an appeal right away because i have a valid work permit till the end of Jan, 2008.
My work permit and FLR dates never coincided and my company told me that the applns were filed on time and it was home office delay which caused the gap in the work permits. they were confident that i wouldn't have any problem in getting my ILR.
Though I can't understand how there could be a gap in my FLR. I've asked my company for all the details as to when they filed the work permit and FLR applns etc.
Has anyone come across such a problem? any help or advice will be appreciated. Also, if you know of any lawyers who specialise in the area, please let me know. I live in the midlands.
Thanks.
