Gap in long residency

[jazz700]

Hi All

I am going to apply for 10 years long residency so i want to ask about gaps in my extension.

1 . My first visa was expire on 28th january and i went to home office on 29th january and got my extension on same day so just want to know will they consider 1 day gap in it ?

2. And second i was refused twice but i sent my documents on time and did my appeals on time and won both appeals. but after appeal decisions home office took time to reply me back and so it took 3 to 4 months to get my visa after appeals so will they consider a gap that period.

Thanks

1. The first one is a gap however, under the 10 years long residency rules caseworker shud and wud use discretion in this case as if one application is made out of time but not exceeding 10 days shud be fine for the purpose of granting ILR.

Hi all,

one of my student visa was expired on 31st march 2007 and I went to home office on 15th march 2007 I took my own bank statement because i always did that on my previous extensions and granted a extensions but this time caseworker asked me to provide a sponser's bank statement.

so then she gave me the appointment of 2nd April 2007(But my fees was already taken on 15th march 2007) and said come back with your sponser's bank statement and also gave me the letter which was showing that i have to come within 28 days.

then I went home office on 2nd April 2007 again with my sponser's bank statement and granted an extension on 2nd April 2007.

So just want to know as my visa was expired on 31st march 2007 and i was granted an extension on 2nd April 2007.Will they consider a late application and consider a gap or it was fine because first time I was in home office (15th March 2007) before my visa was expired ?

Thanks

If she accepted your application and fee on 15 March 2007, even subject to pending additional documents, then you're okay (34G(ii)).

No, pre paid envelopes are not mandatory so nothing to worry.

Hi all,

Just want to know if application arrived on time in home office mean before the visa is expired but cheque payment is cleared when visa is expired so in this case what they will consider (late application or In time application).
