UKBA sent us a letter through our lawyer on 8th Aug saying our app was invalid as we did not pay the fees. then we relied that we paid and attached the online receipt and where the money was taken from the account.
Then a week later, they replied saying they were sorry that they got the money but that we had filled out a wrong application form that it was an application form that was in use in 2010 and that we should fill out the new form.
Mind you this application was done online meaning if it was wrong then there is something wrong with their system.
Then the bomber.... they said they could not find our passports.
Our lawyer advised that we take this to the police and tell them the story n report the passports missing which we did but he replied them saying they should check their office that we sent in 3 passports (1 british and 2 non british).
Has anyone been in this type of situation, pls help what can i do?
Here is my sad story I think we are in the same boat. I applied on 6th of july to avoid new rules but after one month on 17th of august when i was expecting biometric letter, UKBA send my application back as invalid saying that they couldn't take money out of my account. I send new application on 24th of august, my solicitor wrote them please deal my case under old rules coz i send application on 6th of july and its not my fault i gave them correct card detail and i had enough money in my account (i attached bank statement and copy of old application where i put my card detail, i also attached image of my card so they can verify that its not my fault. as my wife is not earning enough money, i am afraid that if they will consider my application according to new rules then our application will be rejected after waiting so long. can anyone give me any advice.
here is my time line so far:
FLRM applied: 6th July
Ack Letter 17th July
Application Sent as invalid: 17th August (reason payment issue)
Applied again on new Form: 24th august
Ack Letter: 30th august
Switch from Tier-4 (no work allowed)
