I suppose you are referring to thisnilemarques wrote:Hi Kukuwife and everybody else! Thanks for the reassurance. Just wanted to add a comment with regards to Keisha's question. The answer is yes, a letter before claim or PAP precedes the JR. Basically, it just letting the HO that you are going to apply for a JR. In the old days they would be scared out of their skin would reconsider a decision but nowadays they don't even bat an eyelid.@ Keisha,I posted a link a few pages back about a PAP. Can't remember page number but think its 362.Kukuwife wrote:I don't think is a must that PAP should be sent before JR but it is advisable to do PAP because it might do the trick and it also help when you face the judge.Keisha wrote:@Kukuwife...thanks.
Does anyone know if solicitor need to file PAP 1st before submitting the JR??My caseworker at the law firm is starting to make pluck out my eye-lashes now!I googled and read about it but still not sure.I pray that all is according to plan.Only God knows how He will deal with these people at court and HO!
Congrats to those that have been granted
@Verbina, you continue to crack me up.

My FLR(O) was considered three and half weeks ago and this afternoon I received my BRP.
To those who are waiting for decisions, please keep the faith and those that have been refused, it's too late for you to just give up, You will overcome.
Congratulations to those that have granted.

I still haven't received my documents but once I get them I will let everyone know what was on my decision document.

Dear MRLAOLU, Thank you for the information. Sorry for the late as I was not getting access to the site- wondering why! Good to know eventually the HO admitted their fault. Wish same happened with my case.MRLAOLU wrote:Hi Nabanaba wrote:Dear MRLAOLU, I heard you applied for the appeal right and got it. Please let me know how long did it take to get the permission?

I ll like to congratulate all those that had their visas granted and to us dt were refused that the good God will have mercy on us and make a way. And to those waiting to hear for a reply,I wish dem all d very best according to their heart desires.
I have a quick question, pls aw does reapplying after refusal with right to peal works? My lawyer advices I reapply that they r responding faster now. I ll appreciate to read a reply soon. Thanks
The problem about reapplying and not appealing is that if you are later refused again you will not be granted an appeal right the second time. My advice is that you complete an appeal form. It may take longer for the appeal to be heard but your chances of been granted are far greater as HO can simply refuse you again. Good Luck
I put in an appeal and attached a letter requesting for permission to appeal in June 2013 and was advised of my right to appeal in August 2013. It took a little over 8 weeks for the appeal hearing date to come through.
In your case, did your solicitor actually completed the appeal form or just sent a letter requesting permission to appeal? In my view they ought to have sent an appeal form as well as permission requesting appeal as the tribunal are very strict with appeal deadline.
Interestingly, HO sent me a letter last week admitting they were wrong to deny me appeal in the first instance and confirming my appeal date stands. (Horrible people).
@ elastep, thank you hun for the information. This gives me hope. God bless you.elastep wrote:@Naba I know a person who was refused 6 years ago and still waitng for removal notice. So don't be expecting yours anytime soon. Do what you have to do to get your case rolling and don't listen to the lawyer.east579new wrote:Naba it must be a good 7-8 months since my partner was refused and still no sign of the UKBully agency, certainly dont expect them around anytime soon.naba wrote:Dear mates,
Hope all you are well. Please do advise me on a few things; my visa expired in last month, I have been refused no appeal right but my solicitor applied for a appeal permission. Do I have any chance to face immigration police? If so what should I do? Does HO know my legal process? I am totally in dark.
highly appreciate your advice and suggestions. God bless you all.
But of course that’s not to say you shouldn’t still be cautious always try and be aware of your surroundings etc
@elastep, this sounds great! Thank you very much for posting such an useful information. God bless you.elastep wrote:Hello guys I found this and thought that it might be of help to those who needs it.
Going to Court
Before taking a complaint as far as court you should always seek legal advice. You can obtain free legal advice from organisations such as Law Centres or from solicitors who offer a free initial first interview, usually lasting 30 minutes.
If you cannot afford to pay a solicitor, you may be eligible for Public Funding (formerly known as Legal Aid). The Community Legal Services Fund is the scheme for providing public funding to financially eligible people with legal problems other than criminal matters. The Legal Services Commission, which took over from the Legal Aid Board, is in charge of administering the Community Legal Services Fund.
Solicitors and advisers who can provide publicly funded advice will have a Community Legal Services Quality Mark that shows they have reached an approved standard. You can obtain details of all Community Legal Services advisers, including areas of specialisation, from their helpline on 0845 608 1122 or by using the CLS website: www.clsdirect.org.uk
You may be entitled to Public Funding just to obtain advice from a solicitor and to have a solicitor write letters on your behalf. This is known as 'Legal Help'. You may also be entitled to Public Funding for your solicitor and/or a barrister to represent you in court. For this you will need a 'Legal Representation Certificate'. Your solicitor will need to apply for this on your behalf.
All applications for Public Funding are tested according to your income, so if you are on a low income with little capital, you will probably be entitled to Public Funding. In some cases, even if you are financially eligible, the Legal Services Commission may decide that you should make a contribution (usually paid monthly) toward the costs of your case. The Community Legal Services website has an online calculator that will help you work out whether you are eligible or not. The value of your home can be taken into account in some situations.
Even if you qualify financially for Public Funding, you will also need to satisfy the merits test. In other words, the Legal Services Commission needs to be satisfied that your case has a good chance of success before it will grant Public Funding. Sometimes your solicitor can make this assessment or he or she may need to obtain specialist advice from a barrister to support your application.
If you are successful with a case funded by the Community Legal Service, you may be asked to pay some or all of the money back. This is called the Statutory Charge. You should make sure your solicitor has explained this to you. You may be able to come to a No Win - No Fee agreement with your solicitor. This means that you will not be charged for services unless a minimum agreed result is achieved in your case. Obviously it is important that you are both clear on what has been agreed between you. You may also be able to take out insurance to cover your legal costs in the result of an unsuccessful action.
If you have difficulty obtaining representation some organisations such as the Bar Pro Bono Unit or the Free Representation Unit do provide free representation in some cases.
The Bar Pro Bono Unit can be contacted at:
Bar Pro Bono Unit
6 Gray’s Inn Square
Gray’s Inn
London WC1R 5AZ
Tel: 0207 831 9711
enquiries@barprobono.org.uk
You cannot approach the Free Representation Unit directly but you can ask your local Citizen’s Advice Bureau to do this on your behalf.

I am sorry for the bad news....I also applied based on the seven year rule....talked to my solicitor most people that used this route were refused so am not expecting good news....I am just annoyed that it is taking long. I applied before my previous visa expired so they should give me right of appeal...atleast I hope so....otherwise I dont know why they brought this rule when they are going to refuse all applications.....winners wrote:No right of appeal.verbina wrote:Oh my gosh!

My solicitor seems not interested in reconsideration though if i ask him to do it won't decline but saying JR is the best way to going about it, My solicitor told there is a lots of queue now in the court .Shondra Sharma wrote:@winners my solicitor saying the same, just send reconsideration letter, no point going straight away for JR.
