IF I WAS A LAWYER
I would have checked:
- The 4 March 2020 visa application and refusal.
- The 9 February 2021 visa application and refusal.
- All of the guidance.
- The law especially paragraph – 39E (5) and 39F of the Immigration Rules
39F. For the purpose of paragraph 39E(5), “exceptional assurance” means a written notice given to a person by the Home Office stating that they would not be considered an overstayer for the period specified in the notice.
Perhaps I would have known Exceptional Assurance was the concession. I would have created a draft application as though it was 1 February 2021.
EMAIL TO WEIGHTMANS – 31 July 2023
”Please – create a mockup application, using all of our information, dated 9 February 2021 (or a date you recommend) showing them what a successful application looks like.”
EMAIL FROM WEIGHTMANS – 31 July 2023
“I don’t think this would be helpful.”
