Leave to remain extended - over 2 years after hearing nothing from the Home Office

6/4/2020

0 Comments

 
Well over 2 years after submitting his application Fahad (not real name) has just got agreement from the Home Office to extend his right to remain in the UK until at least late 2022. He needed SDCAS help to contact his local MP and the Southwark Law Centre to press the Home Office to finally respond to his request. He says ‘I am so relieved and grateful for what everyone has done’.

Fahad is an Iranian refugee who has lived in the UK for over 10 years. He applied for what should have been a routine visa renewal in 2017. The Home Office’s unexplained delay in processing his application has meant that he has found it impossible to look for work, study or travel for the last 2 and a half years. He was even prevented from collecting mail from his local sorting office without the right ID.

Pauline Nandoo, SDCAS Director says: ‘Fahad’s case is not the only example of Home Office delays causing extraordinary and unnecessary hardship and stress. But we are delighted that we were able to help him secure such powerful and effective support’.
