Hi RedBlue,RedBlue wrote:Uksettle. You can go for a reconsideration but it is highly unlikely that your application will be successful. They main reason is you have been an 35 day overstayer. Im sure most of the applicants who are applying under the 10+ year criteria have worked more than 20hours. So this is not the reason for you applicaiton to be refused. Moreover, HO cannot prove the no of hours worked base on the NI contributions and Payee tax
How come you are sure that it is not refused because of working more than 20 hours while on student visa. If they have mentioned in the refusal letter of UKsettle then there must be something they know about the work history.
I think UKsettle should explain more about the contents of this refusal letter so others don't repeat the same mistake.
