The application for extension of time was dismissed because the delay was lengthy, no special circumstances were demonstrated to meet the high statutory threshold in s 247(1)(a), and s 64(1)(ab) is properly applied by reference to the date a deportation order may be served under s 175A (so the visa was cancelled from 21 September 2019), meaning the applicant's statutory argument provided no basis for extension.
