urgent help - My immigration solicitor is disappeared

Post by bilal_mushtaq2003 » Sun Oct 21, 2012 1:52 pm

Hi,

I have applied for student extension application two months back. My friends who applied for extension at the same time (for same university) have got their extensions. All I know two weeks before my solicitor told me that he has got an approval letter for my extension but not the documents (passport, & BRP) and since then he is disappeared. I don't know where the hell he has gone?

I need an urgent help. All of the sudden my immigration solicitor has been disappeared. I have been contacting him for long time but his office telephone and mobile are not responding. I am bit concerned that he might has run away from the country :-(

All I have got the acknowledgement letter from UKBA where it has been stated that I can contact them directly if required.

Now, I need a suggestion. Should I contact home office (UKBA) myself on the telephone number they have mentioned in the acknowledgement letter or should I contact any other solicitor who could declare that he will represent me for all future correspondence?

I will be waiting for a quick response.


Many thanks in advance.

Is the solicitor listed here?

Have you been to the solicitor's office?

Here's how to report a problem with a solicitor that has shut down:

You can contact UKBA yourself and/or use another solicitor.
