This has been taken up with the enquiry bureau and steps have been taken to stop a similar situation reoccurring. We are under no obligation to give leave to remain from any other date than that of the date of decision. I have considered all the circumstances as outlined in your letter but don’t consider your situation to be compelling enough for the discretionary grant of leave until 2014.
I therefore maintain the decision originally made by the case worker and your leave to remain in the UK in valid until 09 sept 2012.
Unable to understand why people are not willing to accept the fact that there is nothing in the immigration rules to support the claim of such applicants. And that UKBA may have realized (though a bit late in the day, as usual) that Tier 1 / PBS applicants have been exploiting this loophole for quite some time and that they (UKBA) need to put an end to the practice. Just as a notice takes time to implement in your work place, it will be a few days before every caseworker in UKBA starts abiding with the new instruction(s). Till such time, some people may continue to be lucky!sushdmehta wrote:bear in mind that UKBA staff handling telephone / email queries are notorious for giving incorrect or out of date information. Don't be surprised if UKBA reverts back to you apologising for the incorrect email response by their helpdesk staff and do nothing (because immigration rules do not mention anything of the sort).
Did I respond to your post? Not sure what gave you that idea!T1_Mainframe wrote:You better close this thread rather talking a class on a topic which is irrelevant in this context.
If you look my initial post, I had asked for your opinion on either to pursue my case legally or accept what I have got.
When I had applied early, I was ready for extension from issue date. However, I still wanted to consult more folks before I start looking forward.
Are they supposed to and/or have committed so? See Section 4 - Charging - refunds/ ex-gratia payments and fee exemptions in immigration applications and claims.T1_Mainframe wrote: they have not refunded fees for invalid application since 24th September.
