    Hi, please I need your advice as regards my immigration situation. I came to the UK early in 2005 as a student and switched over to the old Post Study work visa in 2009 which ended in 2011. I was able to get a job from a Tier 2 sponsor and applied for Tier 2 General in August 2011. My application was rejected on grounds of insufficient salary but given appeal right. I followed through with the appeals which still upheld the initial decisions of the UKBA. After the Upper Tribunal ruling on my case in May of this year, I travelled out of the UK so as to reapply afresh. On July 18 the supreme court's ruling on the Alvi case was delivered and I thought the reconsideration procedure of the UKBA will consider legacy cases such as mine but I was wrong, it was limited to only some set of applicants. I want to know if I should put in a Judicial Review of my case or better make a fresh application which means going through all the Tier 2 General Procedure again. Please help with your advice. Thank you

    Yours sounds a complex case where there are various factors to consider. However, the time limit for applying for judicial review is usually 3 months. Even if you argued that the 3 months ran frm July when the SC made their decision, you're several months late.

    Are you in the UK now and if so what status do you have now?
