Because then I would be doing the work for you and everyone else who was so inept to figure it out for themselves. Dont' know how you researched it but you didn't do it right.goldfish wrote:Thanks jes2jes, appreciate the support. The reason I ask questions on the forum is because I've searched and not been able to find information myself. SYH's suggestions were completely unhelpful - the information was not in the locations suggested and if he/she is so sure of where to find it, why not give a reference for everyone's benefit rather than suggest "search for residence" which results in hundreds of matches on the BIA website.
First of all, for the most part, I will just post the link. Please seeJohn wrote:SYH, the general idea is that posts on this Board are meant to be helpful, so merely posting something meaning, in effect, look it up for yourself, is not really too helpful, is it.
No one is obliged to post .... if you, or anyone else for that matter, does not want to help, or does not know the information .... well simply don't post!

Can I ask my lawyer to ring them for progress? Or can I not do it myself? So worried. It's been 3 weeks since the lawyer sent the letter requesting for reconsideration. Uncertainties really are killing me

I have a wedding that I cannot miss this October therefore have already booked a flight to go back to Malaysia on the 11th.
Make sure you would return before your visa expires but I would not make travel plans if my immigrational issue is not sorted yet.

My current leave to remain will expire on the 31st October hence I can only apply for extension 28 days before ie 3rd October to resit my one paper. I have already found out that the British Embassy in Malaysia would not grant an extension for somebody only resitting one ACCA paper. But UK Home Office would extend a visa to 1 year (as experienced by a friend last year on the same situation). Therefore, I need to extend my visa here in the UK.
Is this the only paper left to write or there are more? You can apply for extension but I doubt you would be given 1 year LTR to resit a paper.

My current dilemma is if, I extend my visa, would my reconsiderations letters by lawyers for the permanent residence still stands (meaning will I still have chance for the PR status) or will I need to reapply again when the new extension of student visa expires? The PR application already costs me a lot of money.
I think you should wait unitl you hear from the BIA concerning your representation before you make another application. I believe your passport is still with them. If by the end of October, you had not heard anything then you can make another application for FLTR before the expiration of your current leave to avoid being an overstayer.

Another dilemma is, if I apply through post on the 3rd October, can I get my passports back to fly back to Malaysia before the 11th October? The post costs £295.00. Or do I need to go for 1 day processing? Will that not cost me £500.00? After all, my exam will be in December 2007 and the results will come out in February 2008. Will I get one year or 6 months extension? A friend sent hers in post and got 1 year extension but mine? I don't really know.
There is no guarantee when it comes to postal application as to processing times but they mostly make a decision within 4 weeks. You can go for same day processing and pay the fee for that.
My advise (this is just my advise and you do not need to heed to it ) is to put the wedding plans on hold until such time that you have heard about the decision concerning the reconsideration. Did you send your passport with the letters your lawyer wrote? If not, when they decide to grant you ILR based on your lawyer's representation, there would be more delays since you would have to mail the passport to them for them to stamp it and will delay your flying to Malaysia.
If your representation is refused then go ahead and make an application to vary your current LTR to write your exams and then you can fly but it is possible you would miss your flight to the wedding. My fear is that, when you go and your return, you do not meet a very reasonable IO, they can deny you entry based on technicalities (i.e. the resit of the paper can be done anywhere in the world).
Can you post the exact dates for your entry into the country and any holidays you had had within the 10 years? From this, we can deduce when you can apply for your ILR in light of your gap.

I have worked in the UK for the last 5 years on 3 different work permits. In my very first job I was sent out of the country for work for a period of 8 months. The single over 3 month absence I have had. This was from Oct 02 - july 03. Unfortunately I don't have a copy of my P60 and as the company was having cashflow problem we were paid randomly, so I don't have any regular income coming into the bank for that period.
Due to cashflow problems the company was closed around 3 years ago, as a result I can't get a letter from the employer confirming that I was working for this period. What are my options here? Can I still apply for my ILR and get it? Or is mine most likely to be reject due to this?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks for you help in advance.
What do you mean Significant time spent in the UK (in the case of my recent client, 300 days)??? you mean 300 days spent In UK or Outside UK?IMMIGRATION LAWYER wrote:Not to exceed 180 days out of the UK in 5 years if you want your application to be decided on the same day.
Could be slightly more if there was a need for you to travel under your work arangements.
Significant time spent in the UK (in the case of my recent client, 300 days) has resulted in teh application being refused and then further dismissed by the AIT...
