Hi Gurus, Moderators and well wishers..
Its been best door for Immigration advices and very soon will be applying for LR.
My entry clearance was on Oct 2003 & Im eligible to apply since Oct 2013, But had to apply now. Can you please advice on below.
SAR report :My SEGS visa expiry was 19/12/2007 and I applied for Tier 2 on 19/12/2007 and refused with stamp dated 14/02/2008 on passport(I remember reading Removal note, not sure),But applied student visa before refusal 23/01/2008 without passport by referring Tier2 application and approved.
One solicitor was saying: Due to the fact Tier 2 refused and though passport returned dated 14/02/2008, my GAP starts from 19/12/2007 and as student visa applied on 23/01/2008 (before refusal) ,its slightly more than 28 days. Which isn't convincing
3)Is this considered as illegal GAP, though my passport is in HO and lodged new application before refusal?
4)Does it effect LR application?
Apologies for long story. Its my Life guys.. Please advice which will boost and can apply more confidently.
Many thanks,
Irfan
