●ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW : DECISION MAINTAINED.
Thank you for your application of 4th March 2018 for a review of decision on your application for leave to remain in the United Kingdom as tier 5 (religious worker) migrant.
We have carefully considered the points that you raised in the administrative review application. We have maintained the original decision for the reason given below.
● CLAIMED MISAPPLICATION OF THE RULES OR POLICY.
You claim that the decision on your application was incorrect because it made an error in calculating the correct period of leave either held or to be granted.
However the administrative review of your case has confirmed that the application was considered in accordance with the correct rules, policy and guidance and correctly against those rules policy and guidance you applied for leave to remain as a tier 5 (religious worker) migrant and the application was there for assessed under part 6A of the immigration rules under those rules you were required to demonstrate that you satisfied all the requirements of paragraph 245ZR.
Within your administrative review you have claimed that you applied for an extension of your tier 5 religious worker visa as your sponsor was happy with the work and you were granted leave. However you have stated that when you received your biometric residence permit you discovered you had only been granted until 29th May 2015 instead of the two years that you had applied. additionally you have submitted that your sponsor edit a note to your certificate of sponsorship amending the work start date to 16th March 2018 and the end date to 15th March 2020 and I believe that this has not been taken into account you have also claimed that your immigration health surcharge has been mainly refunded and you are happy to repay the full amount if you are granted the request leave upon review of your application.
However you initially landed in the UK as a tier 5 (Religious worker) migrant on 29th May 2016. the maximum time allowed to reside in UK in this category is 2 years under paragraph 245ZR (b) (2) of the immigration rules which states :
●245ZR. PERIOD AND CONDITION OF GRANT.
(a) If any calculation of period of leave comes to zero or a negative number, leave to remain will be refused.
(b) Subject to paragraphs (c) to (f) below, leave to remain will be granted for:
(i) the length of the period of engagement, as recorded in the Certificate of Sponsorship Checking Service entry, plus 14 days (or, where the applicant has consecutive engagements, a period beginning on the first day of the first period of engagement and ending 14 days after the last day of the last period of engagement) or
(ii) the difference between the period that the applicant has already spent in the UK since his last grant of entry clearance, leave to enter, or leave to remain as a Tier 5 (Temporary Worker) Migrant and:
(1) 12 months, if he is being sponsored in the Government Authorised exchange sub-category for a Work Experience Programme where the initial grant of leave was granted under the Rules in place from 6 April 2012, the Creative and Sporting subcategory, or the Charity Workers subcategory, or
(2) 2 years, if he is being sponsored in the Government Authorised Exchange sub-category where the initial grant of leave was made under the Rules in place before 6 April 2012 or for a Research Programme, Training Programme or Overseas Government Language Programme, the Religious Workers subcategory, or the International Agreement subcategory other than as a Contractual Service Supplier, or Independent Professional, or
(3) 6 months, if the applicant is being sponsored in the International Agreement subcategory and is a Contractual Service Supplier or Independent Professional,
whichever of (i) or (ii) is the shorter.
●Therefore, the Grant of leave until 29th May 2018 is correct and you cannot be granted any further leave in this category from within UK.
