Ouch, a year in waiting... That surely is something your MP should try and address as a matter of urgency. All the best, hopefully your wait is over soon.
On a separate note. Last week we saw a lot of posts with people getting their visas. Anybody with any visa news to share? |
can you pls tell me how should i contact my MP and what documents should i take with me to MP. should i just take acknowledgment letter? |

I personally haven't contacted my MP as its been 4 months only for my application, less than their 6 months service standard. But I imagine the process is relatively simple. Most MPs prefer an email or contact them through their website. You can find who your MP is by visiting the following website:
http://findyourmp.parliament.uk/
In terms of the information they would require it would include:
- Your Home Office Reference Number.
- Your full name and any other names you have used in your correspondence with the Home Office.
- Your full residential address. Your MP needs this for two reasons - to make sure that he/she is your MP and for the UKBA to reference your case.
- The names and addresses of any relevant sponsor or spouse, if applicable.
- A brief summary of your immigration situation, including when you applied to the UKBA and whether or not they have responded to you. It is also useful to include relevant documents for MP to see. |

| I believe that your application is not normal application , I have never heard in any immigration board that the UKBA delayed FLR M application when the applicant has a student visa by one year , must be something wrong in your application ,other ways how come you are passion for one year !!!! |

Our long wait is finally over. When I reached home yesterday there was Royal mail letter to collect a delivery.
This morning when I went to the post office we had the letter with all our documents confirming the visa has been granted and will receive BRP in 7 days.
Here is our timeline
Application sent: 4 July 2012
Acknowledgement letter date: 9 July 2012
Biometrics letter received: 3 Sep 2012 (letter dated 31 Aug 2012)
Biometrics enrolled: 4 Sep 2012
Documents returned: 31 Oct 2012 (letter dated 30 Oct 2012)
BRP: waiting... hopefully arrives in 7 days |

Holy hell TnT-Freak! Congratulations! I applied the day before you... and I have a Royal Mail Delivery slip waiting for me to collect a parcel! I thought it was just something from Amazon... but now I'm going to race down there! *Must not get over-excited*
Do you mind saying what time of visa you were swapping from, and which category of FLR(M) you are changing to? |

Thank you everyone, it definitely is a big relief.
We were transferring from a PSW visa to FLR M. I dont know that FLR M has categories, but I guess if there is one, we were in the marriage category. |

Yeah - that's what I meant (not 'categories' per se).
I'm really so pleased for you. Keep your fingers crossed for me, I'm going to the post office depot at lunch! |

Hope you get it soon.
But i don't understand why UKBA is processing latter applications first. How can they claim its first come first serve when clearly earlier applications are still awaiting decisions?? I am happy for all the people getting the visas but i just think UKBA isn't playing it fair!!! |

Yeah I agree with you completely
If they working to keep statistics looking good then I find it disgusting.
A lot of people's lives on hold because of them and they show no remorse .
Unbelievable! |

It does seem quite unfair, however maybe it has to do with how complex the applications are and if they have to investiagte them further they go back into a pile or something until they 'decide' to pick it up again.
I think it might depend on which caseworker picks up the file, which is in other words, crap because again, no consistency and it's not fair on the people who have been waiting.
I feel for everyone who has had to wait more than 6 months (even though 6 months even seems WAY too long for a service we pay good money for in the first place!) |

It just seems quite out of place and i do agree with the theory that UKBA is doing this to show better statistics! if it wasnt for that than how come there is a gap between February and July's application? as if all march and April's applications were not straight forward. I applied in April and my application is pretty straight forward. |
