While no one here can give specifics of what they are investigating or what could be taking so long, you must understand that they are almost certainly looking into a deliberate intention to deceive by omission. See section on
False representations. Home Office now has the burden to make their case.
I read the document and it does have lot of unnecessary jargon as you'd expect from any Government document. From what I understood, I did not do anything wrong. This was from the document, it does say they would have given me an opportunity to present any missing information -
"Where you are considering refusal/cancellation under a non-conducive to the public
good provision, you must consider all the circumstances of the case, weighing up the
false representations and other factors including any factors which may mean that
the applicant’s presence in the UK is not undesirable.
That requires you to have
given the applicant the opportunity to provide all relevant information."
Also to answer to your query, there was no question as you have suggested. There were two questions which are remotely related to this.
1) Have you ever engaged in any other activities which might indicate that you may not be considered to
be a person of good character? ---- I don't think NFA comes under
engaged or any of this question suggests me to say yes and then provide the details. Because the other questions were about involve in terrorist activities or member of any organisation which I am not.
2) At any time have you ever had any of the following in the UK or in another country?
A criminal conviction
A penalty for a driving offence, for example
disqualification for speeding or no motor
insurance
An arrest or charge for which you are currently
on, or awaiting trial
A caution, warning, reprimand or other
out-of-court penalty
A civil court judgment against you, for example
for non payment of debt, bankruptcy
proceedings or anti-social behaviour
A civil penalty issued under UK immigration
law
There was no option of entering any NFA document in the application. I would have gladly provided the document or enter in to the application. Anyway its been 14 months and if they had to file under false representation, they would have done it. or they would have asked for any explanation which they haven't done. I talked to the Lawyer as well and he said you don't need to give NFA details in the immigration form. Moreover, if HM needs this information, they can just find it by mere few clicks on web. Its readily available for them.
I am not sure why I am doing the research or doing their job and making myself mad over this, but I can't seem to accept that its been 14 month and 15th month running, they haven't reached any decision, even if its refusal its a step forward , but give me a decision.
