Hi I received the same letter if you check this forum there are 2 more people with same letter responded from HO it is nothing to worry about you could do just wait. I made my application 19 October, made Biometric 15 December and just wait. Today called to HO ask about my application as they send letter to my employer I have no rights to work so I lost my good job. Adviser from HO said it should not take long for decision maybe till end of this month so will see.

. . Hi @sarah.
Thanks for your reply and is good to hear that you have done your biometric that means I can also receive a biometric letter soon.. I guess that is the new acknowledgement letter they are issuing to people now because when I ring Ho yesterday they told me they no longer send acknowledgement letter out again.. Thanks I really appreciate your reply it makes me feel calm.

Unfortunately, HO refused this FLR-FP Application and granted a right of appeal to FTT on the basis of Human Rights claim. It's mentioned in the refusal letter that Appeal must be lodged to FTT within 14 days.
Any advice would be highly appreciated regarding any new evidences or additional supporting documents and timeline for hearing date in the FTT now-a-days.
At the end, I also would like to say a bundle of Thanks to Obie (Moderator) who provided a great encouragement and kind guidance at every step to prepare the FLR-FP Application.

Is there any period of overstay before your application ?

Yasintayyare · Post by **Yasintayyare** » Tue Jan 26, 2016 1:40 pm

No there was no overstaying I had been refused a business visa and had 28days to appeal or to make a different application I applied for flr(fp) within them 28days I have a British with and British daughter who is at full time school

I am applying 22 days earlier than my children clock 7 years to avoid being overstayed. Don't know, which odd to pick. Either go overstayer to complete 7 years or apply earlier bear the consequences of straightaway refusal/ disqualify/ certify. Don't know. Any advice please?

I think the rule is as it is, your child must clock the 7 years before you apply. The only clear option now is to wait the 22 days and apply. With God all things are possible. There have been cases of people that scaled through even after period of overstay. Wish you the best ![/quote]
Many Thanks Grecia01 !

Hi @Ojliaa. My family and I have just submitted our FLR(FP) application today. Our situation sounds similar to yours - we are both non-EU nationals and have 2 children who have continuously lived in the UK for 9 years and 7 years 5 months respectively. My spouse and I have been lawful residents in the UK for 9 years. Due to time constraints (and funds too) - we did not instruct any solicitor to assist us with the application, however, all supporting documents are hopefully complete as we have endeavoured to provide proof of 9 years residence (council tax bills, GP registrations, school reports etc). I would be extremely grateful if you could share your experience with me -
1) How long did it take the Home Office to decide on your application?
2) Have you had the hearing at the First Tier Tribunal already? Would you be able to recommend the solicitor that represents you and your family?
I sincerely hope that all is well with you and family.
Best regards,
Effy

Thank you @Ojliaa, this is really helpful. Based on the info you provided, it takes over 7 months from the date of application to the point of the FTT fees are processed. Have you appointed a solicitor to represent you at the FTT? I have made contact with two solicitors to discuss about my family' situation - but have yet to engage one properly. When did you appoint a solicitor and if you could tell me the going rate (or is it fixed?) please? Sorry if I could also ask - did the Home Office return all original documents when they sent the refusal (with right of appeal letter)?

p.s. Not sure if you tried to send me a private message, but I could not open it! My email is xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. I would be so grateful to get in touch with you and learn from your experience.

Best regards,
Effy

It's very straightforward and it is the case across the Board for the timeline threads.

In case newer members have not had time to read the general T&Cs (click) I suggest they do.

In particular, for timeline threads, here is the relevant advice. It is posted very frequently & I think it's quite clear...
