He had switched from Tier 4 Student Visa to a Spouse Visa and after the submission of the application he was invited for an interview. During the interview, the Home Office noticed some inconsistencies which was a result of his wife’s medical conditions. The Applicant had provided all the relevant documents, however, the Home Office refused the application and granted him right to appeal the decision to the First Tier Tribunal.

The first step was to carefully consider the refusal points. The main refusal point was the inconsistencies during the interview which was due to the misunderstanding on the interviewer’s part. Our team explained each refusal point to Our Client and advised him to provide supporting documents to counter the points.

Following the submission of the Appeal, we advised Our Client to obtain an independent expert report to help support his Appeal. We provided our Client of a breakdown of all documents that would be needed to help his appeal. Our experienced team reviewed the documents and reassured Our Client that he had a good chance of overturning the decision.

We prepared a Bundle of Documents as directed by the Tribunal together with Witness Statements from him, his wife and family members who had offered to attend his Appeal Hearing as witnesses.

Approximately 3 weeks after the Hearing, Our Client received a decision from the Tribunal allowing his Appeal.

The application was refused since the Home Office was unable to contact the Sponsor’s employer. The Home Office contacted the employer via telephone on two occasions however, they were unable to reach the employer to verify the Sponsor’s employment.

Our expert team reviewed the decision and the documents submitted provided in support of the application. It appeared that Our Client provided all the relevant documents and the Home Office acknowledged that the applicant meets the Relationship, Accommodation and English Language requirements. The only requirement they raised a concern about was the Financial criteria and that was only due to the fact that they were unable to verify the employment via telephone.

Our experienced immigration Team provided detailed grounds of appeal and submitted the appeal on behalf of Our Client. We advised the Sponsor to provide a letter from the Employer explaining the circumstances surrounding the unanswered call.

We prepared a detailed bundle of documents in support of the appeal and instructed a Barrister to represent Our Client at the Tribunal.

We received the decision from the Tribunal 14 days after the hearing and the appeal was granted. The applicant was granted entry clearance and she has now joined her husband in the UK.

Our Client had applied for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) in the UK after completing 5 years on the Tier 1 General Visa (now closed for new entrants). As part of the Application, Our Client provided all the relevant documents in relation to her income and previous visa applications.

Our Client’s application for ILR was refused on the basis that she had submitted different amounts of income to the HMRC in a tax return after being granted leave to remain under the Tier 1 (General) Visa. Our Client informed us that this was due to a disagreement she had with her previous accountant and prior to submission of her application she instructed a different accountancy firm to review her tax matters.

The team prepared detailed grounds of appeal and submitted the appeal to the Tribunal. Our Solicitor also provided a list of supporting documents to the Client which could help further support her Appeal. Our Client provided all the relevant documents and information about her business that she was running for over 7 years.

Our team assisted Our Client in preparing a witness statement and compiled a detailed bundle of documents and submitted to the Tribunal.

We represented our Client in the Tribunal and successfully argued her case in front of the First Tier Tribunal Judge. Our client’s appeal was allowed and she was granted indefinite leave to remain following a wait of approximately 6 weeks.

Our Client approached us with a refusal of her Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK on the basis of her absences from the UK during her residency in the UK. Our Client applied for ILR on the basis of her 10 Years’ Lawful Long Residence in the UK. She was a frequent traveller and had several absences from the UK during her qualifying period of residence.

Our team explained the relevant qualifying period and the Rules regarding the absences from the UK during her qualifying period. We calculated her absences carefully and it appeared that she had more absences in the year that she was in her home country with her mother.

We advised Our Client to provide her mother’s medical reports and the death certificate which will explain the reason for her visit. Our Client gathered all relevant documentation and our team compiled a detailed bundle of documents in support of her appeal. We assisted our client in preparing a witness statement in which we explained her immigration history and her absences in detail.

Our team worked hard to collate documents that proved and supported that there were no reasons why it would be undesirable for our client to be granted indefinite leave to remain in the UK.

We represented our client at the hearing and successfully argued our client’s case in the Tribunal. The Judge was convinced that there were compassionate circumstances which resulted in our client’s absences being over the limit.

Our Client reached out to us with a refusal of his Asylum claim in the UK.

Our Client applied for Asylum on the basis of his sexual preferences which are outlawed in his home country. He feared that if returned to his home country, he would be persecuted and even killed as he had received threats from his family and people in his community.

Our Client had received a lengthy refusal letter from the Home Office regarding his Asylum claim. We explained to Our Client that the Home Office had noted a number of discrepancies between the answers he gave during the interview and furthermore, the documents provided could not be verified therefore, they could not accept the documents as having any value.

After a thorough review, we noted that the Home Office reasons for refusal had in fact taken his answers out of context and furthermore, the Home Office had selected parts of an answer to show a discrepancy. We advised the Client that there were merits to an appeal.

After the Appeal was submitted, we worked with our Client to verify the documents he provided and obtained evidence of the verification. Following the Tribunal’s direction, we compiled a comprehensive Bundle which dealt with each and every refusal point raised by the Home Office with evidence.

We arranged a Conference with the Barrister who we had selected to represent Our Client at the Tribunal. The Barrister was able to have detailed discussion with the Client and familiarise himself with the evidence and the case well before the Hearing. The Barrister helpfully suggested some further information we should look to provide further evidence.

The Appeal was considered by the First Tier Tribunal and after strong submissions provided by the Barrister representing our Client, the Immigration Judge accepted Our Client’s Appeal.

The ECO refused the Application despite accepting that Our Client and his wife were in a genuine marriage, that she could financially support and accommodate him and that he has successfully passed the English Language Test. The Application however was refused on the basis that Our Client had previously overstayed and lived illegally in the UK before.

Our expert team reviewed the decision and the documents submitted provided in support of the application. We advised our Client that the ECO had unlawfully refused his application as the refusal was discretionary and it was unclear that Our Client had deliberately frustrated his removal from the UK. We advised that there were strong merits to his Application.

We prepared detailed grounds of Appeal as part of the Appeal to the Tribunal. Given our belief that the Appeal had strong merits, we advised our Client that we should write to the Home Office requesting for them to review the decision in light of the unlawful decision. The benefit of such a review would be to avoid taking the matter to the Tribunal for a Hearing which would, in the long run save our Client on time and money. Our Client agreed and instructed us to request the review.

We prepared detailed Legal Representations which included comprehensive details about our Client’s dispute with his University along with a chronology of events. We provided evidence of this to the Home Office and invited them to review the decision in light of the fact that they had already accepted the requirements for the Spouse Visa.

After a wait of approximately two weeks, the Home Office responded to our request for a review advising that they will be withdrawing their initial decision to refuse the Application and that they no longer wished to pursue the matter to the Tribunal.

Once the Appeal was withdrawn, the Home Office changed their decision and granted our Client his Visa to enter the UK.

He had switched from Tier 4 Student Visa to a Spouse Visa and after the submission of the application he was invited for an interview. During the interview, the Home Office noticed some inconsistencies which was a result of his wife’s medical conditions. The Applicant had provided all the relevant documents, however, the Home Office refused the application and granted him right to appeal the decision to the First Tier Tribunal.
