ILR - Admin error on HO's part

[auntjemima]

hi all,

I am applying for ILR on the basis of the 10 year rule. I have been in the UK for 11 years and 3 months. I am currently on a post study work which ends on Jan 22 2012 and prior to that was on a student visa. I requested an SAR and they sent me the documents.

On the summary sheet for the case workers notes, it says that I made an out of time application in 2003. However I know that I did not and on the screen shots of my application history it shows that I made an application on the 29th of Oct - leave expired on the 31st.

It would seem that the Home Office has made a mistake and the case worker made notes based on the date the application was picked not on the day that it was submitted.

Should I point it out when I apply or should i just let it go as they might realise their error?

If i get refused on that basis, what is the appeal procedure? I am working at the moment and I do not want to lost my job if my passport comes back with a refusal on the basis of their admin error as I am sure they wont compensate me for my time and wages lost:)

1. If you think that an error has been made then write to the relevant department and highlight this mistake.
2. Have u got any proof of sending the application on the 29th (u postal receipt or HO acknowledge letter for that application).
3. Did u post (Special/ recorded) u application or used the courier for delivery.
4. If by post then u did make an in-time application on the 29th.

I did submit it in time. I do not have any proof but it does say in the SAR that I did. There is a list of when the applications were logged and the date is different.

However on another sheet of paper where the case worker makes the notes, it says that it was an out of time application but on the same notes it lists the date the application was made 29th Oct and the date it was picked by the case worker 18th November.
