So sorry to hear about your ordeal .. . You could have asked for a study visa extension a for a resit exam. Unfortunately withdrawing the appeal brought that section 3C leave to an end losing the right to work. Solicitor should have known this.

HO has that habit of purposing delaying to frustrate these type of applications. Securing a Skilled Worker sponsorship (MRes / PhD / Global as well) is likely the best option you should consider thoroughly . It's difficult but not impossible.

I know firsthand how tough this road can be. I pray that God gives you the unwavering strength to get through this.

Kcey3p:
Good afternoon, everyone. Please, I sincerely need your advice and guidance.
My husband and I came to the UK in 2023. Unfortunately, my husband resumed his studies quite late, which affected his academic schedule. As a result, he had to resit some of his papers, and this eventually caused him to submit his final project late.
Because of the delay, we were unable to apply for the Post-Study Work (Graduate) visa within the required period. Instead, we applied for Further Leave to Remain (FLR).
After my husband graduated, we later applied for the Graduate/PSW visa, but unfortunately, the application was refused on the grounds that he was no longer eligible. We appealed the decision, but about a week later, we also submitted an FLR application after applying for a fee waiver.
After approximately one month, the fee waiver was granted. Our lawyer subsequently withdrew the appeal, and shortly afterwards, my husband's share code stopped showing his right to work.
We contacted the Home Office, and we were told that although my husband does not currently have the right to work or study, he can remain in the UK while his FLR application is being considered.
His FLR application has now been pending for about five months. During this period, he has been unable to work. His employer requested a share code, but he could not generate one because of his current immigration status.
We are now trying to decide what the best option is for our family. We are considering:
Relocating to another country through work or study.
Finding a job, possibly with the NHS or another organisation, that can provide visa sponsorship for my husband.
My husband is an accountant with eight years of professional experience. He also has an MBA in Financial Management and an MSc in Financial Technology (FinTech), which he obtained in the UK.
He has now been unable to work for about five months, and this situation has been extremely difficult for our family. Thankfully, I am still working, but supporting the family alone has not been easy, especially with children.
Please, if anyone has been in a similar situation or has genuine knowledge of UK immigration, skilled-worker sponsorship, or possible options in another country, I would sincerely appreciate your advice.
We would really like to know what options are realistically available to us at this point and what steps we should consider taking while we wait for the Home Office to make a decision on his application.
Thank you so much in advance for your advice, encouragement, and any helpful information.

Welcome aboard to everyone who’s joined! ⚽🔥

Good news — we get sponsor o! 😂💰 The overall winner will take home $100 (or the equivalent). 🏆

For those new to the format, we have 20 managers competing throughout the season. From GW36, the top 8 managers will qualify for the knockout stage and battle it out from the quarter-finals through to the final in GW38.

So every point counts! 👀

All the best to everyone, and may the strongest manager win! 💪⚽🏆


Bourne007:
Let's go 💪😎

We've always been 20 each. I think we should keep it competitive and give every 20 teams a chance.

Boss .. FA cup is currently 18 .. . Are we expecting 2 more teams or that's it for the season? Also, Carling cup is 21 teams o .. . Are you removing yourself or will even later? I'm assuming both leagues na 20 teams each.

TV/Movies › Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Bourne007(m): 2:22pm On Jun 03
Just watching it. Exactly similar to the Swedish version The Trip (2021) acted by Noomi Rapace

OhBritannia:
Over your dead body is a solid 6.5/10 for me.
This actress named Samira is kind of underrated though.
She is one of the princesses of thriller and gore movies that's gore.
Immediately you see her in a movie, just know it's going to be bloody and gore.
Anyways this movie is quite decent, not bad at all.
Loved the arguments between the two main casts.
The badass father in-law gave a little spark to the movie.
Looking at your son and telling him that he is too weak and his generation is weak and he wishes them a military war got me laughing out loud.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Nairaland Fantasy Premier League 2025/2026 by Bourne007(m): 5:17pm On May 05
When I created Bongo, it gave me option to select 3 KO rounds (Quarter, Semis and Final). I think what will happen is 2 KOs semis and final. This then means we will be ranked by points in GW36, semis then final which isn't a problem. The issue is we wouldn't now know who we will be playing until after deadline cry

Calibrator:
There will be a knockout for GW36.

The last GW as a final is not counted as a knockout round.

Now you have to bring the whole thing home.

Bonus points for knocking out either/both of Bourne007 and timbros for preventing me in GW 33 and 34 from entering the playoffs spots. angry
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Nairaland Fantasy Premier League 2025/2026 by Bourne007(m): 9:47am On May 05
Let's do it! cheesy

As there are 3 games left, it doesn't look like there will be a knockout round in GW36 if created. With KO rounds maxed at 2, only 2 games we fit play. GW36 will just be for nothing.

@Iamoyindamola How you wan run this one now .. . If you look at Bongo H2H which I created, you can see GW36 is already blank.


timbros:
Iamoyindamola what next? Abi shey make we continue like dis so that i go win Bourne007 next GW and top table?

You have to withdraw your appeal before submitting a new application otherwise it will be considered invalid.

If not withdrawn, case officer may (may not) ask you to withdraw before working on your application. But general guide is to withdraw.

adebabs21:
Good afternoon everyone,

Has anyone here applied for a Skilled Worker visa while having a pending appeal with the Home Office?
I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience and how long it took home office to make a decision on the new application.

Thank you!
