Time Line
Online application: 2nd July
Paid/money taken: 2nd/3rd July
Supporting Documents sent: 2nd July
Received:3rd July
Acknow letter: 20th July
Biometric: Waiting
BRP: Waiting
Passport/docs: Waiting
UKBA sent us a letter through our lawyer on 8th Aug saying our app was invalid as we did not pay the fees. then we relied that we paid and attached the online receipt and where the money was taken from the account.
Then a week later, they replied saying they were sorry that they got the money but that we had filled out a wrong application form that it was an application form that was in use in 2010 and that we should fill out the new form.
Mind you this application was done online meaning if it was wrong then there is something wrong with their system.
Then the bomber.... they said they could not find our passports.
Our lawyer advised that we take this to the police and tell them the story n report the passports missing which we did but he replied them saying they should check their office that we sent in 3 passports (1 british and 2 non british).
Has anyone been in this type of situation, pls help what can i do? |

Here is my sad story I think we are in the same boat. I applied on 6th of july to avoid new rules but after one month on 17th of august when i was expecting biometric letter, UKBA send my application back as invalid saying that they couldn't take money out of my account. I send new application on 24th of august, my solicitor wrote them please deal my case under old rules coz i send application on 6th of july and its not my fault i gave them correct card detail and i had enough money in my account (i attached bank statement and copy of old application where i put my card detail, i also attached image of my card so they can verify that its not my fault. as my wife is not earning enough money, i am afraid that if they will consider my application according to new rules then our application will be rejected after waiting so long. can anyone give me any advice.
here is my time line so far:
FLRM applied: 6th July
Ack Letter 17th July
Application Sent as invalid: 17th August (reason payment issue)
Applied again on new Form: 24th august
Ack Letter: 30th august
Switch from Tier-4 (no work allowed) |

So, after 7 months the visa has arrived and life can move on.
My only suggestion like others have posted previously is to request the sponsors passport back. I did this on 20th August and now 1 month on the visa has turned up.
Good luck everyone and thank you for your support. |
And when did u got the sponsor's passport back? |
I got the sponsors passport back on 12th September and the visa was issued on 20th September. |

Following are details
From - Tier1 Dependent for my wife
Application FLR(M) Posted - 17th May, 2012
Ackn Received Fee Deducted - 30th May, 2012
Biometric Letter Received - 10th June, 2012
Biometric Taken at LocalPO - 12th June, 2012
BRP received: waiting
Documents returned: Waiting
Thanks for all ur posts and replies,
I have applied for FLR(M) for my wife, above r timelines, I would like to get atleast my passport back as I need to apply for my kid's passport and my naturalisation so that we all can travel once we get my wife's visa.
1. Whether above reason is sufficienet to get my(sponsor's) passport back without affecting my wife's FLR(M) processing.
2. Whether I need to call the no given in Acknowledgement letter or my wife needs to call UKBA to return only my passport(without withdrawing appl).
Thanks in advance. |

Just rang ukba twice, the first lady I spoke with ask me to Waite that ukba will contact me in due cost, the second person was helpful but I was surprised when she was asking me how long have I waited? if I have done biometrics? does it mean that some information are restricted from some of their staff? She advised me to send a fax to Sheffield because their the department that deals on it and the case worker based their. fax number 01142072536.
I am thinking of using a solicitor on them by first week of October if their was development on my application., I have contacted my Mp but their were not useful. only God is my Strength and savour at this point in time. hope their will be some good news for the rest of us that has been waiting.

I have applied for FLRM too being a tier 4 student and three days ago my uni assistant told me over phone that UKBA wrote them an email asking my attendance and some information about my course which I recently completed. so it made me wonder that why they have checked my progress.
anyway have you had any low attendance ?

Your responses will be greatly appreciated ! |

Hi umairkhlil,
Yes i have very low attendance and have not been going to uni as i have shifted to a different city after marriage. I dont now what to do now i am living far from uni and working so cant really afford to attend.

Hi all,
I'm new to this forum but have been reading this thread a lot..Like all of you, I'm still waiting for the result of my FLR(M) application. Below is the timeline of my application. I have called them last week and asked for any updates but the lady who answered (after waiting for 30 mins!) told me to call back after 27 Sept since my application was received on 27 March. Is there any way I can do for them to process my application? I can't start looking for work or even volunteering job because of this! I came to UK via the Fiancee Visa route. I'm honestly losing patience from all this waiting! 
Date Docs Sent: 23 March 2012
Received by UKBA: 27 March 2012 (saw it via Royal Mail tracking service)
Acknowledgement Letter: Didn't receive any!
BRP Letter: 4 April 2012 (although in the letter it was dated 30 March 2012)
BRP Done: 10 April 2012
Docs & Result: STILL WAITING
BRP Card: STILL WAITING

Hi everyone,
Have just received a letter from my MP with an attached mail she received from The Home Office stating that my application is has been passed to case worker for consideration and due to the volume of applications they received, they have not been able to make a decision but they will let me know as soon as a decision is made but if there is any compassionate grounds which they might need to consider I can put it forward. Has anybody received such a letter? Please advice
FLR M applied on 6th of February 2012
Acknowledgement letter received
Biometric letter received
Biometric completed
Document return: still waiting!!!
Biometric card: still waiting!!! |
