Cheers waitwaitwait,

That's reassuring. My wife does have a valid bank card. it was just a photo id that she's lacking.

Good luck with your application. Hope your stuff comes through soon.

How in the world are applications in June getting approved before those submitted in Feb, Mar, Apr, and May? What is the miracle queue jumping magic going on?

Hey Backagain

Yes my previous visa Authorised me to work, was on tear 1 visa, what i am asking is that, in the latter sent by home office to my employer is a Unique Reference Number on the right top of the latter which was 7 digit number and I am asking my self, what could that number mean because the number is total different to my Case Id Number

This is what I found about a unique Reference Number:

Unique reference number
When you save or submit your online application form, we will send a confirmation email to the email address that you supplied in your application security details. This email will contain a unique reference number (known as a GWF).

You should make a note of your GWF. You will need it to log in and access your saved form. We will not be able to assist you if you do not know your GWF.

LE80, I think you asked the right questions. Now we can wait about 20 days to find out what they write to you. So very curious what your reply will be.

Thanks both but I think for the second part of the question, at best they will just say that some cases are complex and are taking longer. Since they won't define a complex case, or tell an applicant when their case is considered complex, I have no evidence on which to challenge that sort of answer, which we know to be untrue.

I am getting worried because we plan to spend Christmas in Australia, something which is important to the family. I think we will have to consult a solicitor about the implications of cancelling the application (after all this time) and then applying from within Aus.

I hate that it has gotten to this, never in my wildest dreams did I think it would take this long, and I would like some answers.

Hi all,

My girlfriend and I have been following this forum for a while.

She is Australian and was in the UK on a youth mobility visa (expiring in July 2012). She submitted the spousal visa application in May and we were slightly worried about getting the documents back, as we planned to go travelling in November to Russia.

We were advised that one way to hurry up simple applications was to ask for the passports to be returned for ID purposes only. Apparently the UKBA have to return your docs if you need them for identification. We made sure they understood that the application was not being withdrawn and they were fine with returning both passports.

8 days later the passports arrived, along with notification that the residency permit would be delivered. 4 days later this arrived.

Might not work for everyone, but is certainly worth a try.

Hi there -

Update on my case which is turning out to be a nightmare.

Has anybody after a long wait received their application back as invalid with all documentation returned? I applied 3 July online with online payment and all my documentation was returned stating I used the incorrect version of the form? I cannot see how this is possible if I used the online method.

I assume this leaves me in a position where I will have to re-file a new application under the new rules? It is so frustrating having all the documentation returned with an application that I would have categorised as a very easy application!

Any advice or similar status information will be appreciated.

To road master......

I'm not aware of an online application form for the flrm if u are within the uk......so perhaps it was the wrong one?

Where exactly on the web is the flrm online application form ?

Roadmaster · Junior Member Joined: 23 Aug 2012 Posts: 18

Dsin - I agree. At the time of my application I chose the FLR(M) application document that was available online.

When I say Online application - it is an electronic form that you can fill in like an active /editable PDF document. After the document is completed you pay online and it generates the PDF document that you then print out and post to them with all your supporting documents.

I did seek legal advice today and will make a decision in the morning. I am on a ICT tier 2 visa at the moment but will have to stop work with no income until this is resolved. It feels unbelievable that their actions can have such profound impacts on people’s lives.

I will really appreciate if anybody that applied in July can share their document version number with me. The form I completed was version 2.0.4.
