Hey all,
Does not surprised home office refused on the basis you currently have leave, like I said they would grant us 10 year route in an instant if it means we do not get a shorter route . I am now curious to see the monthly statistics over the next few months.... Wonder how the numbers of those refused will change?... It was at 6 when I last checked..
As for my case... I have not eased up on them... Still waiting to see what they will do... They are not granting leave in a consistent way, it almost like they have some sort of issues preventing such leave to be granted to non EU promptly. They recently drop some of the barriers in the surinder Singh guidance but did it quietly, the old guidance still remains to turn people off it... This is because they know it would have ended well with a lot of these cases after the end of transition period, mean while the drag their feet with the zambrano cases because its something they did not like for year's.... People continue to put pressure....
I know my decision will come soon, don't know what it will be as this is home office after all but still, I want to be able to challenge in time... DO NOT LET THE HOME OFFICE USES SMARTS AND RUN THE CLOCK DOWN.
Do not speak with the agents that first answer the phone, always express dissatisfaction and ask for a manger...
Best wishes
Chris90, you are right. They are really trying to put us off and make us give up. They know most of us already applied before 31st so they decided to give appeal rights to those who applied on or after that date.
It looks like they are not granting the leave inconsistently (though we don’t really know the details of the case of fellow members of this forum) . So far as I can remember, they have given : A) Zambrano carers whose derivative cards have run out. B) Zambrano carers whose derivative cards haven’t run out. C) Zambrano carers with both derivative card and 2.5 ltr. D) Zambrano carers without derivative cards but have current 2.5 ltr.
Most often we just say ‘we have 2.5 years ... but we don’t specify if we are sole carers, have British partners,.... etc. At times too we specify those details initially but some of us don’t remember to go back and read users previous posts and we end up panicking and getting more worked up.
The fact that HO likes drama is not even helping matters.
I am also waiting to see how they decide mine.
My child was asking me how I got to know all those people I mention their names ( Lady Hale, Zambrano , Patel ....) and ‘when they told me all those things I am saying on the phone’. I have now become a ‘pocket lawyer’. I wear ‘wig’ but I have no chambers.
