and there is section on the letter about travel abroad

you may travel out of the common travel area any number of time during the validity of the leave you have been granted. the common travel area comprises the united kingdom, the channel islands, the isle of man and the republic of Ireland . on your return, you will be re-admitted to the united kingdom without having to obtain fresh leave to enter unless.

1- you have been absent from the united kingdom for a continuous period of more then tow years, or

2- you are seeking admission for different purpose from the one for which this leave has been granted



nevertheless, an immigration officer or secretary of state may carry out an investigation into your circumstances upon your return to the united kingdom, in order to determine whether or not the leave you have been granted should be varied or cancelled

recording to the Discretionary Leave policy who received 3 years Discretionary Leave before 20/July/2011 we should granted ILR

and I have problem with work I want to change my work but every time I apply for new job they ask me to the original documents

I will update if there any news

Hi

Me too I was offered a job last week and they need paperwork and I really need this job but I don't know what to tell them because employers do not take word of mouth they need to see evidence that you are allowed to work.

please people is there anyone who know if we are allowed to work whilst still waiting for home office reply .

the OLCU is giving ILR, As of the 31 December 2013; 5,303 people who had cases in the OLCU cohort were
granted ILR.
As of the 31 December 2013; 5,609 people who had cases in the OLCU cohort were
granted Discretionary Leave.
and about the timeline they saying
Each case is dealt with on its own merits and there is no specific time frame in which a
case is considered/concluded, it would depend on a number of factors e.g. if further
information was required.

just quick update
I have send letter to Liverpool in 14/04/2014 ask about any update on my case and i waiting for their response

hi

I called the home office they said my case is still in process and said that normally those cases which are easy only takes about 4-8 weeks which means mine is complicated now its been more than 8 weeks.

about working they said we are allowed to work.

let me know when you get a reply from Liverpool.

how come your is complicated ? and what about me is complicated to? I don't think so because my circumstance never changed and I had my crb check for new job in 2 month ago my record is clean but I think 4 to 8 week for people who apply FLR O form

I am not sure why mine is complicated the guy who answered the phone just said most of the cases takes about 4-8 weeks only complicated cases will take more than that. So i am not sure if he was saying mine was complicated because my situation is still the same.

Have you heard anything from Liverpool yet.

I am still waiting .

i haven't heard anything back yet I don't think its about the complicated
I read many cases in the internet and most cases was take about 5 to 6 month

and I don't know if you notes the DL form has been change there is new version they change the address to Liverpool now all application mast be send to Liverpool who apply over 18 of age and under 18 of age application mast be send to cardiff

So if the address has changed we did sent our forms to Croydon is there a problem with that or that's the reason its taking long.

I wonder if there is someone in the same situation as us.

please anyone in the same situation help with infor.

that is not problem before people was send the forms to Croydon and Croydon forward to Liverpool now is much easy for the home office and new people who submit there application ands is not matter for us if the change the application or the Rules we still in old Rules

OK , so i hope we not going be waiting for months and months with no answer there is a lady with the same situation as mine got her decision after 6 weeks only now i am getting worried why mine is taking long. Its been 3 months now but by end of May i will give them a call again.

i hope we not will waiting to long because i seen people waiting Since 2007

i will contact my MP if i haven't heard anything back within 2 week

Hi

Hope we do not wait for years to get our extension and i will also contact a lawyer if they do not reply by June so that i will see if there is anything i can do.

I know UKBA takes time to make decisions but sometimes they need to be pushed.

Please let me know when you hear anything.

I phone them today Again and they said still process and they told me the best to send letter to the address on the confirmation letter i received
I don't think we will wait more then 6 month
I would like to ask you what is the exactly date you submit you application and what the date you received the letter from HO

mine I submit 14/01/2014 and the letter date I received 28/01/2014 so they take them 14 normal days to reply and (10 working days)
