In my case i never knew the rule had changed as i was previously on the IGS and to the best of my knowledge then-renewal for the extra year to make up for a total of two years was automatic.
The new rule came into effect sometime in october 2008, and i only knew about it in Deceber 08. My application was refused and i was offered an appeal--my appeal date is on the 8th of april09-----had to get a legal perspective and support at no joking fee of 1k---
they intend to argue the case based on the following factors:
-that the previous rule made my 1yr extension automatic
-that i was not aware of the new changes , as such didnt have time to work towards it
-that i have been gainfully employed with one of the LA for a year earning around £25000 per annum
-that i have never committed any crime
-my educational achivements
-seperation from my wife etc
i dont realy know my chances of a favourable responce but i know if i was refused-i can always appeal the descion of the appeal , and so on and so forth,,,,,God help me....
Yesterday I went for Oral Hearing and Secretary of State didn’t turn. Detail are as following …hope you people will prepare yourself according to that…keep at least two copies of each documents with you.
Some time secretary of state come and asked question but in my appeal he wasn’t there…
Following question I have been asked by Judge and Secretary of state didn’t turn up:
After showing identification like passport etc:
1. What are you doing now a day?
2. Still living on ABC address…?
3. Where are you working?
4. Full time/part time?
5. Do you have any supporting document? (I showed my home country statement)
6. Why didn’t you send this with your application? (i gave reference to following:
In PSW form about Fund maintenance Requirement:
In Section N
N1. Does the applicant have access to £800 available funds to support himself?
Tier 1- Policy Guidance # 90
In order to qualify for entry clearance or leave to remain under Tier 1 an applicant must show that he/she has enough money to support himself/herself. Applicants in the United Kingdom seeking further leave to remain must have at least £800 of personal savings which must have been held for at least three months prior to the date of application. Without use of public funds. ) so I didn’t see anywhere that £800 should have each n every day…..
7. Who supported you while studying in UK? (parents)
8. Did they transfer money if yes…..how often and how much?
9. Do you have original statements with you…? (no)
10. How do you prove that it’s original and not fake?
11. Do you have anything which you didn’t send with appeal?
12. Do you want to say anything else?
13. Judge said that he will reveal that decision in next few days. Have a good day!
