Miss O entered the UK as a student and had remained her since. Over the years she made several applications with several law firms all of which were refused. Miss O contacted Sterling Shore Solicitors when her last application was refused. The main reason for the refusal was that Miss O had spent only 18 years in the UK and not 20 as required by the Immigration Rules. Sterling Shore Solicitors advised Miss O to pursue an appeal even though she had been informed otherwise. Sterling Shore Solicitors submitted substantial grounds of appeal with vigorous preparation for the hearing relaying on a number of key documents. On the day of the hearing Miss O was represented by our senior barrister who delivered legal arguments of the highest calibre compelling the Immigration Judge to allow the appeal. After 18 years of living in the UK, most of which was without any status, Miss O was granted leave to remain.
