Hi, everybody. I live in UK for nearly 10 years (came here in 2002). I came here on a student visa and in 2003 sent my application for prolongation of student visa. Did not have any responses from HO (though my solicitors and I personally contacted HO - they were saying not to worry as they need more time for decision). I kept studying till 2008 in college, than, as I still did not receive my documents back and I could not enrol anywhere, I started distance learning. All this time contacted HO with no result. In 2011 received a letter from legacy. Sent back the filled form and pictures as been asked. Received refusal as I did not send enough documents. . Appealed to first-tier tribunal in 2011. The appeal was dismissed. Appeal to Upper Tribunal allowed. Appealed to Upper Tribunal and waiting for decision at the moment. Does anyone have any idea what will happen next? I do not have a family life here but I mentioned Article 8 Private life in appeal (sent letters from many of my friends living here), also I sent a proof that I have enough money to support myself here. When Upper Tribunal will approve my application, will I receive a right to apply for another student visa, or will it be ILR? Was I all this time lawfully in UK? And if an outcome will be a student visa would it be possible to apply for ILR on the grounds of 10 years lawful residence in UK? And if yes, which documents would I need to send supporting my application? Thanks everybody.
