Hello guys. I came in UK 2011 as a student. And I am married british girl.but my merriage is not registred.i put further leave to remain last year 2015 27 of march. But it's refused and home office gave me right of appeal. 25 Feb 2016 was my hearing,but it's been adjure becouse they put another case on me of TOEIC. I extend my student visa in 2013 and I submitted TOEIC . My question is if I go back to my country , and put fresh application, is
That will be effected by TOEIC. I do need ur best advise
About my case.

If you were to return it is likely you will be refused unless the issue of deception is successfully dealt with.

Hi. My brother in law has applied for a frlo. He has receiv1ed an appeal. If he was to appeal how long will it take for the UKBA to respond to him?

Appeal depends on the area he leaves an availability.

Only if he succeeds will the matter be returned to UKVI to give effect .

Well he was part of this toeic test case and got an out of country appeal. But has know applied for frlo. And it has been rejected so he has applied for an appeal. So i was wondering how long it would be before they respond to him again.

Hi,
My husband is going through the same situation with TOEIC.

He was refused his spouse visa on 25th February 2016 due to the TOEIC (taken in 2012) deception. However we have the right to appeal as we are expecting a child. We would appreciate advice on what will happen in the court hearing (questions and evidence the HO will provide in front of judge) also what are the chances of winning the case?

We have read cases where individuals have won the first tribunal however their case was passed onto upper tribunal, can someone please advice us and guide us with their own experince.

Help will be much appreciated.

Read this article regarding TOEIC/ETS saga....

Disaster for Theresa May as legal ruling brings student deportations to a halt

I have always know that the Home office policy on ETS was a complete sham and was meant to be struck down by any decent court.

Thank God for justice.

The Title of this thread was always appropriate. Theses people were victims and not villain.

Hello,
I lodged Judicial Review in Feb 2015 and it was refused last OCT, they asked me to send amended grounds which i sent them in 7 days. today i have received refusal letter on new grounds which were submitted last OCT.
Can anyone tell me what next step i can take because i have been battling for this for almost 14 months with no luck.
Its mentioned that i can ask for right of appeal from upper tribunal on question of Law only.
and if they refuse then i can ask from court of appeal.
any suggestions ?

Totally unsatisfactory. Whole judgement ought to be promulgated as a matter of urgency. This is an issue of immense public interest and a tremendous amount of people are affected, the least they could do is release it.

Reading the above makes me sick to my stomach.

There is no independence in the tribunal system.

Making UK the laughing stock in the advance world.

Shocking statistics.

Tribunal rejects Home Office fraud allegation in ETS case but fails to report determination

Perhaps Panorama should do a program on the reporting committee?

[vinny]

It was all a mountain out of a molehill, it seems. It has emerged that the tribunal’s reporting committee did not consider whether to report the case until it met in May, the final determination in Qadir not having been ready in time for the April meeting. As soon as the reporting committee did meet, the case was reported.

[atmone]

The case is now reported with a little bit change in the head note.

I personally want the original one to be reported...

No in-country right of appeal for two men accused of having their English tests taken by a proxy > Secretary of State for the Home Department v Shehzad & Anor [2016] EWCA Civ 615 (29 June 2016).

[Obie]

Thanks Vinny for updating the thread.

Very troubling case. However if a person makes a human right claim to the Secretary of State before they lodge their appeal, then their appeal will be fine.

But it cannot be done on a notice of decision. Essentially one can see the court is seeking to accord the SSHD an opportunity to certify a claim.

Mr Shazzad''s case is really sad, as it appears that the SSHD did not infact discharged the evidential burden.
