Could you please share ur case as you mention it as complicated.
It's quite a long story, but I will post a brief history tonight.
My 10 years was up in Sep 2011.
in 2010, My PSW ended. I applied for an extension to stay as a student. Now, this is when things get really bad. My application was rejected and the reason was, my credit card payment was rejected. BUT, on my credit card statement, the payment WAS taken. I was baffled. Phoned up my credit card company, they said there was no issue. I phoned up the UKBA and they asked me to return the application.
The real problem was, my university refused to allow me to study as I didnt have a valid visa, ALTHOUGH, they knew my application is being processed. I spoke to the University and UKBA , no one helped. In the end, the UKBA DECLINED my application and asked me to leave the country. I consulted a lawyer, and went to a tribunal , and the tribunal allowed my application. All this took more than a year, and I could only apply for ILR in May 2012.
There is a lot more to the story, but I wont bore you with that. I had sleepless nights, I cried so many tears, I felt suicidal at times. But I guess everything happens for a reason. I am glad I got the ILR in the end.
If there is anything you can learn from my experience, it would be , patience . Always have faith too, whatever your belief is., trust it to guide you, wholeheartedly.
Thanks again everyone. I wish you all luck.
This is my last post, at least for sometime. God bless you all !!
