When was the final refusal determination of the appeal? Any gap over 10 days is going to be very
difficult.

I believe that you continued to have legal stay under
section 3C until your appeal was finally determined, withdrawn or abandoned.

You are highlighting that after rejection of appeal reconsideration applications were filed and these were pending when new application for student visa was filed and was approved.
Actually reconsideration application (same grounds) is an administrative thing not envisaged in immigration law though some time it works. The concept recognized in law is one stop warning (additional grounds) that why one be allowed to stay.May be your solicitor had filed additional grounds.
By granting you permission to remain the UKBA has impliedly admitted that your additional grounds were convincing. Since on ILR refusal you have not been given right of appeal hence judicial review is the only option. I think it is wroth trying that leaves should have been aggregated.

Thanks a lot jami I really appricate on your advice. Could you give me please more advice I know you much batter understand my case. If I go judicial review what kind of arguments my solicitor should use to win ILR case. Now you know homeoffice refused my ilr based on gap and not accepting legial stay when I sent reconsideration after my student visa appeal dismissed in july 2006. Anything else or similar my case sitution ever pass through life and somebody win case. Please let me know
Thanks a lot

Judicial Review is primarily domain of Barristers and neither of solicitors nor of OISC advisers though both may assist barristers. Hence consult some barrister preferably through your previous solicitor.
To me it appears to be arguable case as your applications were pending and you were given leave on second application. Considering cost benefit ratio it is wroth trying and the only option.
Why your earlier application was rejected and how this was taken care in second application is wroth sharing and may have a bearing on judicial review. Hence post entire facts

Actually in jan 2006 when I applied my student extenstion was refused reason work more than 20 hours and fail in first year exam. Even I only work more than 20 hours when I had holiday from college unfortunity when I submit my extenstion I lost that holiday letter but secon time when I sent my application in Feb 2007 I sent letter alongwith and also I sent result of my pass exam in which I was fail previous that is homeoffice allow my extenstion on secon application. brother is it possibe if I send of copy of my august 2006 and november 2006 reconsideration letters and current ILR refusal letter and ILR reconsideration refusal letter. Do you have some time to just go through those letters and advice me is it any chance would appear poastive for judicial review? I can send you through your email if you allow me please.

Hi,
Can I ask you one question? How long did it take for the HO to come back rejecting your reconsideration letter? Your reply will be most appreciated. My ilr has been refused due to one month of VISA GAP that also due to HO. The application was in process. My solicitor has sent a letter requesting reconsideration.
Many thanks in advance

Hi deeaa can you please tell bit more about your visa gap? Do you mean the gap was created while HO was processing your application?
Thanks

Did you apply before the expiry of your then leave to remain, if so then why didn't they apply Section 3C in your case which automatically extends the leave until the new visa is granted?

That is my biggest question. Why did they not applied section 3C? Its heart breaking. Thats what my solicitor has said in the letter to HO. Don't know what they will come back saying.

Chapter 18 2.3.6:
Section 3C extends leave where a person with leave to enter or remain makes an in-time application (i.e. an application made before their leave expires), but where leave expires before a decision on that application is reached. Where a person has 3C leave, and his/her application is refused, 3C leave continues until appeal rights are exhausted. Section 3C only applies to in time applications.
Section 3D extends it while an appeal is brought and while it is pending and continues until appeal rights are exhausted.
Both 3C and 3D leave count as "existing leave to enter or remain in the UK", and therefore as lawful residence for the purpose of the 10-year Rule.
