(I'm making two threads because I dont want to bore with you one long thread, and this is on a slightly different issue)
Hello everyone,
As some might recently noticed, I applied for the IGS - PSW transition visa and get rejected due to maintenance fund falling below 800 for a brief period. My visa now has expired. It really caused me so much distress and turn everything and every plan up side down.
I have got the right to appeal this decision. As many respected members have said, I have next to no chance of winning this appeal. But I would like to consider appealing anyway, for two reasons, one is I would like to try even there is 0.1% chance of success, two is I need abit of time to sort of things in life before leaving, so appealing may give me that space of time (extra 4 weeks I would imagine?).
Before deciding to appeal, I would be really grateful to have your advice about issue around appeal process in general, many many thanks for your help.
I. Consideration before the appeal:
1. Will appeal do any further damage to my record in the UK?
2. Andrew once said its risky to appeal because after rejection I will be overstaying? But as my visa is expired already, I'm actually overstaying at the moment. So as long as I leave within 28 days of the appeal rejection, I wouldnt think I would infringe the law anymore than accept the visa refusal and leave now?
3. If the appeal is rejected, I still do hope to come back to UK in the future (I practically grew up here and consider this my other home). I will either work for a year at my home country, make good earnings (>20.000 UK equivalent) and reapply under Highly Skill Migrant, or apply to do PhD next academic year. Is that plan plausible? Does this visa and/or appeal rejection have much negative effect in the future?
4. What do you think about the chance of sucess for the appeal? (I know many would say zero sad.gif ), is there any chance the judge can have discretion or recommendation even if dismissed. I have offer from a barrister, saying he is very much experienced (because he is a barrister) and there is a chance, and I have to pay 400 for his service. If there's next to no chance at all I might just try to file the appeal myself, but if you think there's a slight chance then I'm really thinking of using his service.
4. Any other advice on how I can stay, reapply, or come back to the UK would be much appreciated.
Many many thanks for your kind help.
