Hello everyone
Someone I know was arrested last year for rape, and his phone returned to him around 5 months after the investigation. Does this indicate the close of the police case?
Secondly, he has now applied for his post study visa since over 2 months and he hasn't gotten a response from ukvi. He says everyone he knows who applied around same time have gotten it approved. Is it normal or could it be linked to the police case?
His visa is already expired going by his BRP, but he can still work and stay legally because he has applied for another visa before the expiration of his student visa.

What did the police said to him when they returned his phone?

He received a letter to come to the station to get his phone or let them know if someone will come get it on his behalf. Nothing was said about the case at all.

This is the problem with British Judicial system (amongst other problems) ......😁

A criminal could not be deported, because his child could not eat foreign chicken nuggets.... 🐔😂

The British people are intrinsically compassionate, honest and care for humans except the tax paying immigrant who came in legally. grin grin

He needs to contact the police to know if the investigation is still ongoing or if it has ended.

Thanks so much for your time and explanation.
The explanation is just the inflows and outflow from her account, she uses FBN mobile for transactions but it just adds ref no instead of the description she puts and there are some income(friends/family gifts) without description too.
Her account balance is not empty it is the balance I am thinking of putting as the savings amount

As for using petty trading she has no evidence of business or business activities and as you said I am trying to avoid situauions and explanations.
Don't worry yourself about the description in bank statement.
Giving this explanation will draw the attention of the VO and create an issue where there is supposed to be none. Except you think there is a suspicious amount that should be explained.

Not necessarily, some investigations take time especially if there's a CPS backlog.

He should ask for a copy of his police records by filing a subject access request (SAR), which should confirm what information the police has about him and if the investigation is still active.

Im just finding out that his friend who got arrested alongside him haven't gotten his post study too, both have applied for over 8 weeks now. Tho that one was able to go back to Nigeria after applying for the post study. I believe the case is not closed and linked to the delayed visa

It's entirely possible. A sexual assault allegation is a serious matter and the Home Office has access to such information via the central police database. It is likely that they are waiting for the outcome of the investment before deciding on the applications.

Has the friend been able to re enter the UK ?

Your friend should file a SAR asap via the following website

https://www.acro.police.uk/s/acro-services/subject-access

It's free to apply and he should hear back within a month.

But if you put in an application- the rule is not to leave the common travel area or the application stands withdrawn…

True, he might have left uk for personal reasons too. Like to be unreachable by police in case the police haven't closed the matter

Please I need clarification about something please.
So I’m a Health and Care visa holder and I own a business as a registered sole trader.
I have done my self assessment and even filed my tax return.

My question is if having a business along with my job going to affect my ILR?

Thanks bosses @justwise, giselle, zahra29 and co

It should be fine as long as your business operates within the key rules:

"You can also work up to 20 hours a week in another job or for your own business, as long as you’re still doing the job you’re being sponsored for.

Your work must be in an eligible occupation code."


So you need to check that your supplementary work has a relevant occupation code, and that if challenged by the Home Office you would be able to prove that you spent no more than 20 hours working directly or indirectly on your business.

God bless you madam Zahra, I’ve identified a job code that matches my business.
I don’t know how to prove I don’t work more than 20 hours but I should be able to defend it if it comes up especially as I haven’t breached or worked less than my contracted hours.
Thank you.

after 2months of back and forth with home office,my family dependant visas were refused today that the NPC birth certificate we presented were fraudulent;I am on skilled worker visa and have been in UK for the past 10 months we got these birthday from NPC,now how do we remedy this situation?I need all the help..I am at wits end
This UKVI pple seff....them don start again

..I have seen this case before ..abi u be same person ?? ..the other person I saw was brining in a 17 year old from a previous relationship ....after back and forth submitting all requested documents, sole custody, school fees receipt, excursion letter, PTA letter, etc...next attack was fraudulent birth certificate.... grin

Not like I want add salt to ur injury ...but u should prepare for another email from home office threatening to remove you from the UK on grounds of presenting a fraudulent documentation for your child's application...

Perhaps it depends on the ECO handling your case...but it happened to this person I was talking about......Apparently they don't ban minors for the sins of their parent so they now bounce on parents, especially if they in the UK...

Well u have no option than to tackle the issue via administrative review, which now takes close to a year before response .the AR team will even respond...

If u are sure u got your child's certificate from NPC ...u will need to reach out to authority that issued the certificate ...if they are willing to get involved, they will issue you a statement with the government's letter head signed by the NPC state coordinator that the document is genuine as presented to the UKVI stating the document number, name of parents, name of child, date issued, etc.....try to cajole them to send the response directly to UKVI quoting your application number, if u are lucky they will send it and copy you....if they refuse and tell u to send the letter yourself.....not a bad idea too

Note: check the certificate if there is no mistake, slight alteration, any deep hand impression different from the other words..( I just want to give them benefit of doubt that they are not just witch-hunting you)

1.Was that birth certificate issued when the child was born or you requested it during the visa application?

2. What other documents did you submit in support of this application? Things like family photos, the child school reports/results etc

Thanks AdvanceDNA,pls is there any particular ukvi email address that the state co-ordinator can send the official letter?
Haaa noo....u are accused of deception.....U will first go and initiate administrative review which attracts 80£ fee....
In the portal of the Admin review.....u will be allowed to tackle the ECOS refusal based on 3 reasons..1)the ECO's decision was wrong
2) the ECO was unfair, 3)the ECO should have provided you extra allowance to submit more evidence to prove ur case before refusal..
Wateva u chose will be accompanied with reason....

After u submit, u will now be given an email at the submit successful page to attach supporting documents quoting your application ref number ...it's is the email u will attach wateva evidence u want to use to counter the ECo's decision
