Hi either you wait until you become British citizen to apply via 3 year root including atleast 1 year having ilr or let her spent a minimum 5 years in the country including atleast 1 year having ilr to apply via 5 year root.

If you become British and your wife has moved to FLR (M) before 6 April 2014 then your dont have to wait for 5 years. you can apply under 3 years rules under 287(a)(i)(d).

The HO statistics, if I have understood correctly, show that out of 39441 BC applications, 36658 are granted and 2425 refused. This would mean 358 [39441- 39083 (36658 Granted + 2425 Refused)] applications (covering the FQ of 2015, Jan-March) currently awaiting consideration. Is it probabable that HO will drag on with these 358 applications for ages?

Yes, We have to till we get the break down of every months statistics , because from their previous statistics by 31 dec 2014, they had around 10,000 pending?? if we add that to the equation, then the figures would be around 50,000 (in total) still 14,000 pending???

You guys are absolutely spot on! It is the number of applications that HO received during the FQ of 2015, but approvals and refusals could be from ancient times!! Such a deceitful statistic
