Repost since a mod removed my post. American living in the UK, applied for ILR(DV). I ask that no judgement or rude comments be made regarding my visa type.
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this, since it's a bizarre situation and I can't easily google an answer.
The Home Office has served my decision to my GP. The GP has not yet contacted me, and I'm not sure if they have any intention of contacting me. I only happened to stumble across the decision in my NHS app, while checking on the progress of a hospital appointment. It was uploaded as a document. Again, the GP has not notified me.
The last contact I had with the Home Office was in August of last year. It was a standardised email to state that there was a delay to my application and they were aiming to have a decision by January, 2026. I have not received anything since.
Does this count as properly served? Given it's a refusal, I should have 14 days to apply for Administrative Review, but no idea when that 14 days begins. Decision is dated April 20th, meaning I'd have to submit the Administrative Review today, which is not feasible or fair.
Also worth mentioning that instead of being a neat copy and paste, the decision was served as a photocopy with massive black, vertical lines down the entirety of every page. It's difficult to read because of this. There's also stamps and scrawlings on the margins of every page. Even if it was served correctly to me, I'd argue that it is very unprofessional.
Unfortunately, this is just one more incident in a long list of troubles I've experienced in the handling of my case.
