I am sorry about your situation. My first lawyer submitted fake payslips with my application, and then simply disappeared (I only found out when I requested my file from the Home office). I've been chasing him up for over 2 years, I presented proofs to the Home office (my letters to him in that time) but was still told that it was my responsibility to ensure I was adequately represented. They took no action against him, even though he represented other applicants, and chances are that he also used fake documents there.ian1464 wrote: With regard to the late submission being down to a qualified legal person error surely this can be taken further. Would this be exceptional circumstances.
what do you mean he submitted false payslips, why would he do that? And the ho noticed this and you had to prove otherwise???tasha75 wrote:I am sorry about your situation.

I think they (lawyers) should be punished with at least a big fine for such mistakes like yours, so they think carefully next time. They are playing with people lives. If your lawyer registered with OISC you may try to complain to them but it's got to be within 6 months of the incident.
I've contacted him about the possibility of applying for leave outside the rules, or may be some concession which is not advertised to public. It seems that the only LOTR he knew about is ILR under 14 year rule and to prove my residence here for all 14 years he submitted fake payslips. The HO noticed straight away (as I could see per their notes in my file) but the did nothing at all for over 2 years until I requested a file, and horrified contacted another lawyer.SYH wrote: what do you mean he submitted false payslips, why would he do that?

No i meant you had to prove to the ho otherwise that you weren't complicit with this hare brained scheme. What an idiotic solicitor to be so bumbling about it too.

The payslips had a spelling mistake in a company name and apparently they looked too new for being 14 or so year old (as from HO notes, the file contains only photocopies so I don't exactly how fresh they looked). What I noticed myself is that I apparently worked since I was 11, and with the same NIN that was issued to me about 10 years later, in my twenties. Even British citizens don't get NIN till they are 16.
No. I didn't try to prove they weren't fake, I knew they were just by looking at them as I never gave them to the lawyer.
