Regarding the pandemic exception, it may be worth collecting evidence of the Covid travel restrictions.

I did precisely that. I made a chronological timeline of the restrictions imposed and uplifted of both the countries, the one I was stuck in (India) and the UK.

Hi Mozude,
Any update on your application?

[Mozude]

Hi,

After a roller coaster 4 months since they withdrew my application and submitting my passport which did not have a single stamp of entry/exit in the year 2024, HO did not accept these proofs and still maintained that I wasn't in the UK and claiming that I took the flight. But recently a week back, I filed a SAR with the airline. And they have clearly stated on their letterhead that I did not fly and one more technical document clearly stating no boarding, no luggage, no seat allocation took place.

Have submitted these documents a week ago, lets see what comes of it. It has been 7 months now since I submitted my application.

Hi Mozude,
Thanks for the update mate!
Keep up the pressure on Home Office.
Please keep us updated on your progress.
Thanks.

Still waiting, Although finally HO has acknowledged the complaint and upheld it after 8 months.

I just wanted to know the process of changing my legal representative from my solicitor to myself, why does it ask for a SRA number when I want to represent myself, can anyone shed some light, please?
