Again u r lucky they grant her without child MN1 Approval (u dont need it for 10 years partner route though) but in my mrs case we waited for 7.5 months to get her visa. I was in the same boat as u. But i put flr m along with my set lr. HO refused to entertain flrm as i was not settled at the time of her flrm (set lr application pending).

They attached flr fp which we filled in and returned. I got my ILR in june but they issued my wife visa under 10 years partner route in november after i got both of my children MN1 approval.

Dear members!!
My case history in a nutshell:-
Applied for Entrprnr visa in 2014.
Refused under 11th July,2014 rules.
Got refused from FTT (advertisement after 11th July( I admitted, it was after 11th July )).
Applied on 30th August, 2014 for permission to appeal in UTT. (still waiting)
In the first week of March, 2016, my 2 children aged 14 & 11 would complete their 7 years continuous legal stay here.
Obviously, I am waiting for these 2 & half months (Dec:, Jan:, Feb:) to pass uninterrupted while waiting for the outcome of permission to appeal in the UTT and until we become eligible, under rules, to apply under 7 years rules( although success is not guaranteed, BUT no other choice).
My question is;
If, let's say, In a week's time, i am told that the permission has not been granted for appeal to UTT.
I would, obviously, apply direct to UTT for appeal right and if the outcome takes longer time and in the meanwhile, my children 7 years got completed,
SHOULD I withdraw my application to permission and apply in March on 7 years basis or wait as long as it might take.
What complication might arise in case of withdrawing application from UTT ?
Your expert opinion is solicited.

biometric letter 14 December
biometric done 15 December...
Waiting
Let me know please if you will have some news as well as I have no idea how long its gonna take for decision.

I'm back for my extension. in 2013 I received my flr(o) for 30 months granted and last month I was due to renew my stay. My timeline is in my signature.

One question I have is, if my circumstances have not changed other than me and my partner getting married back in 2013, is there any way an extension can be refused?

I am worried as I received an unusual acknowledgement letter this time round saying the following:

"Your application raises issues relating to the European Convention
On Human Rights, which are complex in nature. As it falls outside our
Normal service standards for deciding leave to remain applications. Please
Be assured that we will make a decision on your case as quickly as possible"


If you review/click on my previous posts from 2013 you can read about my story.


Thanks in advance!

Hi I have been waiting for the reply from home office since 21st February when I made my application. I know they took long to reply me and waited for my husbands refugee status to expire as I was given 3yr because of him.so since he put in an application the homeoffice called me yesterday and asked me if I was still leaving with my husband and weather am on the same address and if the kids of to school.she then said she will post a letter requesting for that information and I she send it quick that I shouldn't worry.she will then make a desiccant. But am upset that they are going to cheat me the 23rd I've spent waiting.so I will be with discretionary leave for 8th not 6 .Anyway it's better than nothing.

After refusal to permission to appeal in Upper tribunal and all appeal rights exhausted, now i am applying on 7 years child concession basis and if, unluckily, refused again, would I be given appeal right under human rights or only AR option ?

It may be possible. But she will have to do 3 subsequent extensions as opposed to 1.

Firstly congratulations on your passport application as I have tried everything then in June and I also went to Indian embassies in Hounslow and Paddington, both of them said they can't accept it but the good news is if they have accepted yours then I might have chances as well, so I might just go and try next week again.

Also Good luck for your application. Hope you have a good news soon with your application as well and thank you for your reply.
Go to Holborn lost/damaged / stolen and expired passport section they will issue SVP short validity passport.
£150 fees. 9:30 to 1:00 pm
Also there is open house on Wednesday in Holborn from 11:00 to 12:00.
You can talk and explain your problems to the officers they will definitely help you out .
Hi arshman

Thank-you so much for your help and information really appreciate it.

I will definitely go either tomorrow or Wednesday.

Kind Regards

Yeah probably you will get the appeal right but you need to prove why it's unreasonable to expect the children to leave the uk and the strong ties between the UK and children.

Hi moderators and co

Does anybody know how long omit roughly takes the home office to make a decision for an overstayer after biometrics have been submitted?
My ex partner and father of our child applied for flr fp parent route and did his biometrics on Friday 8th Jan 2016.
Both me and our child are British citizens.

Thanks in advance

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.

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.

congrats on your success. Were you not required to send them further documents? In my own case they requested further documentation and haven't heard from HO since sending first week of January
