i have student visa till end of October12.
Can you please give use more details to have any chance of helping you.Pay wrote:I applied 20th April , they stated we understand that you lost your passport but you failed to meet 10 years lawfully residency , I did write UKBA letter explaining what happened back in 2003 and they replied that when ever you have the new passport send it to us , it took me 6 month to get new passport .
Ok. It looks like you have done everything you could and I cannot see any fault of yours.Pay wrote:My visa expired end of August 2003
My passport lost 20Th August
police report 20th August
letter wrote 21th August attached with police report and underground police report
my new passport issued Jan 2004
and new visa issued 20th Feb 2004.
Any particular reason why you waited 10 days before you applied for the new passport?Pay wrote:i LOST THE ACKNOWLEDGE LETTER FROM UKBA , BUT I SENT A PAPER THAT DID MENTION THE NAME OF PERSON WHO WROTE BACK TO ME .
APPLICATION MADE AT EMBASSY FOR NEW PASSPORT NO I DID NOT SEND BUT I MENTIONED IN MY COVERING LETTER THAT I APPLIED FOR NEW PASSPORT 02/09/2003 .
I DID SEND THE POLICE REPORT AND COPY OF LETTER I SENT AT THE TIME
Ok I dont think you are at any fault here. I think you should be able get your ILR with some professional advice. The home office should be able to use discretion and grant you ILR. You may also be able to contact your MP about this.Pay wrote:NORMAL PROCEDURE IN CASE MY PASSPORT WOULD BE FOUND AND POSTED TO EMBASSY.
Hi there, am sorry to hear that, when ur visa was about to run out u were meant to go ahead and apply for ur visa extension andwhile u r waiting for ur visa to b considerd u should be applying for ur new passport and send it immediatley u get it to the home office. But since u waited,that's the mistake u did. Its sad I know, but that's the way home officework, but just look for a good solicitor who can help u , good luck mate, God BlessPay wrote:hi guys i just received refusal letter , stating that because i had no visa 2003 - 2004 and that was because i lost my passport and was unable to extend my visa , i did let UKBA know at the time , what should i do now?

Technically yes, you need to apply for some sort of visa to fill the gap but then one of my friend was in the same situation and his solicitor helped him out with a very good covering letter. but then this was a couple of years ago. things might've changed a lot from a case worker's perspective...So I'd suggest you to seek advice from a professional Immigration lawyer..but then its only my personal opinion....HTHTier 4 wrote:Can any one suggest?
A person received Entry clearance at 23 September 2003
Entered in Britain 03 October 2003
Leave valid 24 August 2013
Can he apply long residence or does he need to apply extension in some other category to bridge this gap (24 August 2013 – 03 October 2013) ?
HI, No my friend, i did that in 2009 i lost my passport and i applied without even calling ukba.On their forms since 2003 forms there has been an option where u can tell them if u dont have ur passport.Pay wrote:But if I did send any application with no passport it would come back to me as invalid , and when I write to UKBA I wasn't advised to make application. ...
Thanks for your advice and encouragement, can I just ask how much time was short in your friend case. Is that will be possible to ask him details or the address of lawyer as well?

BTW he did had a suggestion donno if its worth trying...but you can apply for a Student visa and hope for the HO to make a decision delayed for atleast a month or so and then make an application on Long Residence by withdrawing your student application and asking them to forward your passport to the relevant ILR dept...

I sent my application to the Durham ILR on 22/08/12 and still have not received an acknowledgement letter of my application being received by Home Office. Payment has not been taken either. I wondered if the delay is due to the long Bank Holiday weekend in my case?
