Thanks for replying...
Basically I first went to the UK as a student. Whilst I was there I transferred from one school to another as they keep closing down because of not following UKBA rules. Then my visa expired went back here to Philippines and applied for tier 2 visa sponsored by my employer. It turned out that the UKBA's record was not updated about my activities as a student because it did not appear on their record that I transferred to several schools. Hence in my refusal letter it stated there that I overstayed. Because student must go home if their school closed down and could not find another school to transfer to.
So this will be the basis of my appeal that I did not overstay and I have proof that I attended school the whole time that I was there.
Another basis of my appeal is that my right to private and family life base on Article 8 because I've been living with my boyfriend for almost 10 months and my relationship is affected because of this issue.
How long does it usually take for out of country appeal?
