what is the processing times for the DL form

[Deewani]

It looks like a positive sign for you

Here is what HO guidance explains this in detail::::::


Grants
This page tells removals caseworkers how to process grant paperwork.
Once you decide a grant is appropriate you must prepare the draft grant consideration
minute on CID ICD.4732 in DocGen.
Restricted – do not disclose – start of section
The information in this section has been removed as it is restricted for internal Home
Office use only.
Restricted – do not disclose – end of section
In family cases, the main applicant must be designated the responsible adult on CID for all
minor dependants. You must then notify each individual they need to enrol their biometrics
by sending letter ASL.4501 to the main applicant and ASL.4503 to each dependant. A fee
free barcode sticker must be placed in the appropriate box on the back page. Details of their
nearest Post Office must be sent with this letter (this information can be printed and included
in your correspondence). See related link. You must create a calendar event for seven days
plus four days for postage. Input the admin event ‘RCC Barriers on hold’.
For more information on the biometric information enrolment process, see related link.
You must monitor the identity cards for foreign nationals (ICFN) system to find out when the
applicant has enrolled their biometric information.
When each individual has enrolled their biometric information, you must input the admin
event ‘RCC Barrier in progress’. If the checks are verified produce the biometric residence
permit using the ICFN system. This will be sent directly to the main applicant’s
representative if they have one. Otherwise it will be sent directly to the main applicant.
You must then produce the grant paperwork:

Hi All

I think this matter of going back to your home country needs to be perused by writing a letter to the UKIV or H/O independent information what what and see what they say about it.

To those who know people who have gone back to their home country when they applied for further leave isn't it the application ask have you been back your home country too.

So it means they now got their extension regardless of them being back to their home country.

I know people who claimed asylum and was granted and when they received their indefinite after 5 years they travelled back to their home country.Which means these people if they were in fear of persecution back home how come now they are travelling back home. Its confusing.

Any ideas on this.......

Just been granted my extension. Another 3 years after waiting 18 months. Hoping it is not a wasted 18 months as my six years should be next year..

@ africangirl.....i went home twice without issue....

[ArtMag]

@ africangirl....yes the application asks if you have been back to your home country and reasons why....I told them i had gone back twice.
I think its ok

@ africangirl....yes the application asks if you have been back to your home country and reasons why....I told them i had gone back twice.
I think its ok

@ArtMag, congrats!

@africangirl: yes, a bit confusing but this is down to each individual's grant basis.

UKVI has published a doc regarding "travel abroad" as below:

@ Dewani

just asking how did you get internal information do you have close people who work for H/O or its just a standard letter from the internet - just curious .

[Deewani]

Any body can search it online....i dont have any special computer

I think the best thing to do will be to approach your MP and let he/ she do the job for you. The home office is likely to tell you to continue waiting. I submitted my application for extension on 8th of September last year done my biometrics a week after that and waited. On the 4th of march they wrote to me asking for more details about my situation blah blah, i sent all the info they required and continued to wait. Yesterday i phoned them and asked the progress of my application and they said they are on it and i should continue to wait. I have been waiting for 7 months and i am sick of it. I am still the husband of my wife and i am still the father of my kids nothing has changed and i think i have a straight forward case. I am tired of waiting iam tired i am tired.

I used the correct form DL as i was a refused asylum seeker. My case actually should be under legacy because i claimed b4 march 2007 but for some reason it's not. I would be happy if they issue me an ILR. The wait is too long man.

hi odat

Maybe they might speed up the applications since we have to pay. I think it's better to pay and get your papers in less time than to wait for longer periods

My experience with the UK Visa and Immigration Service is frustrating. I applied for extension of discretionary leave to remain in February 2014 and my case has not been assessed neither has it been assigned to a caseworker. I managed to get through to UKVIS this morning regarding an update on my case and was basically told to wait as nothing has been done since February last year.

I have now written an official letter of complaint regarding the timescales and the unnecessary hardship this is causing me. I cannot travel abroad and in terms of my career this is hampering me.In January 2015 I wrote to my MP who was told that UKVIS could not expedite my case. Is there anything else I can do? Is there a way I can force UKVIS to make a decision?

I think your mp is the one supposed to put pressure on them. As for travelling and coming back whilst your application is being decided you can get a travel document from them if you can show that your own country can't issue you a passport. It's frustrating i know i have a job on hold because of that.
