Why don't you go to the solicitors office. You need to act quick. You could have posted the documents directly to Ukba. Do you have copies. If so do a next day deliveryvix789 wrote:hi.. just thought i'll add more details onto my dads application..Hopeful2 wrote:

well the letter we recieved was dated 16th april however our solicitor informed us about the letter 16 days later!!!
he gave us an appointment which added another 8 days so we were already 24 days into the time limit the UKBA had provided. The solicitor seemed to be really chilled out and requested for an extension for 14 days from the UKBA.
Anyhow we rushed our dad to pass the life in the UK test and get all the other documents together including writing a personal statement for him. chased the solicitor and droped the documents off within 10 days of the extension. solicitor promised that he will obviously touch up etc and post the documents and send us a confirmation. since then we have been ringing and calling him.. it is now 3 days passed the extension requested and the solicitor still hasnt confirmed/sent the documents and we are worried sick!!!
any suggestions?? would really appreciate!!!
you are right. i'll speak to my dad. we tried getting him to go to another solicitor but he feels trapped!! well the solicitor is around a 100miles away. we actually trusted him and his attitude is really difficult to handle now. we've also asked the solicitor for a copy of our files and he just has an excuse every time...GodGives wrote: Why don't you go to the solicitors office.

The solicitor sounds dodgy to me. As I said before send the documents directly to Ukba. If not they would refuse if you don'tvix789 wrote:you are right. i'll speak to my dad. we tried getting him to go to another solicitor but he feels trapped!! well the solicitor is around a 100miles away. we actually trusted him and his attitude is really difficult to handle now. we've also asked the solicitor for a copy of our files and he just has an excuse every time...GodGives wrote: Why don't you go to the solicitors office.

I agree, don't let anyone or anything hold you back. This isn't the time to be afraid - there will be obstacles in your way and you have to fight them. The only person who matters is your dad and this his LAST chance to get it right so do whatever you can to make it happen. I wish you guys good luck with everything. You can complain to the Law Society about your solicitor if you feel the need to. Actually I recommend that you do - that should stop ruthless lawyers from taking advantage of vulnerable applicants!!

UPDATE: Appeal submitted end of May, no payment made though. will wait for them to send me a paying-in slip or instructions.lola56uk wrote:That's good you have a lawyer !!!!- unfortunately he won't be able to go with you to the hearing but will arrange a barrister for you !!!!Peter77 wrote:Thank you for the response, I was banned for 18 months but reduced to 14 months when l did the Driving course. fined 300 pounds. u mentioned something about custodial sentence can u say more please.??? my offence would be spent in august.lola56uk wrote:Peter - I am almost in the same similar situation as you only my drink driving conviction is spent. How long were you disqualified for ? As they have being told/advised not to take into consideration any offence within certain period ( 12 months custodial sentence).Peter77 wrote:Dear members
I have been visiting this forum for sometime and have found it very informative and helpful. thank you.
I applied for indefinite leave to remain on the 6/7/ 2012 on the basis of 14 yr long residence.
l arrived in the UK beginning of June 1999 got a six months visitors visa, which l extended with a student visa valid till March 03. When it expired l never renewed it and has been on an expired visa ever since.
The reasons of refusal:
1. l have not provided enough documentary evidence that substantiate my claim of residing in the UK continuously for the last 14 years. Further more l did not provide documentary evidence which covers year 20xx, 20xx and 20xx.
l had provided them with bank statements, bills, hospital letters for which l did not realise l had missed the 3 years mentioned above. and thats all l had.
2.It is noted as well that you were convicted of failing to provide a specimen for analysis(driving or attempting to drive) and driving in accordance with your licence in - - 2008. disqualified and fine 300 plus 200 costs. and the offence wont be considered spent until august 2013.
Taking the above into consideration you therefore cannot meet the requirements of Paragraph 276B(1)(a)(b) and (111) of HC395 (as amended)
I had refused to provide specimen because l wasnt driving the car but in charge of it sitting in the passenger side.
If l appeal what kind of evidence are they after?? is there any thing l can do to prove l have been here all this time?????
What about my conviction? will be considered spent mid august.
Appeal deadline end of may.
_________________
please Appeal - as the judge might be against the HO, especially if you show him evidence that you have been in the UK during the stipulated time; this is what I am doing. Have 2-3 close relative write a sworn letter stating you were here.
All this will shed light on the case for the judge.
Be calm and relax; things happen for a reason.
I will appeal, lm in the process of obtaining bank statement from closed accounts l had at that time. Waiting for letters from my x employer and inland revenue. the problem with bank statements is they can only do 6 six years only. Also requested for my medical records from my GP today. Now my main worry is l wont be able to gather documentary evidence in time coz l have only a week before deadline to submit my appeal, GP documents will take at least 2 weeks. l l hand in my appeal end of may when can l expect my hearing to be held suppose the appeal goes through. Do l have to hand in my appeal with evidence by the way l have a lawyer.
Got relatives who can witness even my partner l live with.
Secondly - you do not need to submit any proof with your Appeal form ; this can be provided at a later date. It takes 4 weeks from submission to process plus another 4 weeks to give you a date , so you will be attending a hearing between 8-10 weeks from submission.
Attend hearing and go and listen to how the judges listen to the Homeoffice , what tactics the home office use and how to answer or behave in front of the judge.
You do not need bank statement ; a simple letter that you had a bank account with the bank will do; these can usually be written by the counter staff and should state the date period you had the account open.
Be calm and relax
That's good news Peter. Please try and visits AIT beforehand to have a feel. look at my previous post to guide you on what cases you should listen to.Peter77 wrote:lola56uk wrote:Peter77 wrote:lola56uk wrote: UPDATE: Appeal submitted end of May, no payment made though. will wait for them to send me a paying-in slip or instructions.

Payment takes a while to go through. You would think they would take payment with the application but I guess its a way to see if application is correct before payment go through.
I will write up part 2 of my appeal guide for those of us that have appeals underway.
