Further to my letter of 26 November I enclose this reply that I have now received from Sonia Dower, Dept Director at the BIA.
I understand that your case is to be reviewed once again in the light of the further information you have provided. I note that the outcome will be sent to you directly.
I should be grateful if you would let me know the content of that response.
and the next page...
I trust you have since received my letter sent in reply to your earlier letter... My reply explained that Dr X's application has been refused because of breaks in the continuity of his residence when his leave to remain expired on occasions while he was abroad and he required fresh leave to enter on his return.
The enclosures with your latest letter have been noted. Your correspondence and these enclosures will now be referred back to the appropriate casework unit to review the decision as you have requested. As Dr X does now qualify under the relevant provisions of the Immigration Rules, you will understand that I can give no assurance that the decision will necessarily be altered. However the points made will be carefully considered to asses whether there are any exceptional circumstances and Dr X will the be notified direct of the outcome.
There's a small glimmer of hope but I'm not holding my breath!
