I am telling you,, i am more than thrilled o. dont even know how to react yet cos am at work, lol. thanks
See that's the thing. You can never really know what's the case. But same time, you said your application started moving after MP intervened. But then again, this is what you are assuming. it could be a pure coincidence. I had my COA after a month and half too so that's normal it couldn't be MP. I could be wrong tooshelbyprice83 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 01, 2021 7:27 pmOur application FINALLY started moving only when we contacted our MP... so not sure why everyone's saying it would be flagged in a negative way?
I agree with you. I got my COA after 3 months and that was after numerous calls to the resolution Center not till the day I found a humane lady on the line and she said COA will be out by tomorrow,so COA in less than 3 months is normal…don’t think it was due to MP intervention….dellledd911 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 02, 2021 2:55 pmSee that's the thing.

Fair enough, this makes total sense! We'll never really know, Home Office is such a mystery.BMDNLUK wrote: ↑Thu Dec 02, 2021 2:58 pmI agree with you.

That's exactly what I went through for my pre settlement. After making numerous calls to the EU center, I was just given the general copy paste script asking me to wait 6 months bla bla. I think on my 8 or 9th call, a gentleman picked up and I explained to him my situation. He listened very carefully giving me all the time I need and assured me that he will pass my message to the caseworker. He also asked me to call the next day in the evening to see if there has been any update. I called and received the good news!BMDNLUK wrote: ↑Thu Dec 02, 2021 2:58 pmI agree with you.

Online application: 20:06:2021
Biometrics: 12:07:2021
COA: 01:09:2021
Status outcome: 02:12:2021
The status came out today after having made a formal complaint highlighting how the delay has affected me and numerous calls to the resolution centre,However it’s the complaint that made the desired intervention(indirect pressure on case worker to act and make decision).
NOTE: I would advise anyone considering making a complaint or calling the resolution Center to atleast Wait untill considerable time has passed since submission about 4 months plus ,such would warrant action as opposed to someone making a complaint less than 3 months since submitting the application. Good luck to everyone but finally this chapter closed!
This must be shocking for you but well done!It’s shocking because the Acting Deputy Chief case worker(European casework briefing & Response Team) relied my complaint today at 10:00am and at 4:00pm I get the decision….Probably he emailed the caseworker asking progress on the file and he/she acted coz you don’t want your supervisor to know your not performing,it’s cant be no coincidence! Am thrilled though coz my family permit had expired and wanted to travel for Christmas but was held almost hostage by delayed decisiondellledd911 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 02, 2021 5:10 pmWOW!!

For the complaint,it took 3 days to get the reply because their standard is replying with in 5 days so I suggest you email them tomorrow and expect a reply by next Thursday. The complaint will get your file moving for sure because 6 months is long enough….it must have passed all checks waiting for caseworker to make decision. I implore you to make the complaint,am the case study . I wish you speedy reaction from the resolution center…dellledd911 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 02, 2021 5:19 pmGood to hear buddy!

If you dont mind me asking, how many days did they take to reply to your complaint? Was it made via phone or the EU resolution center website? I have the same time line as you but longer by a month

Thank you! To be fair, we couldn't paste 3 years worth of bank statements (there were only 10 docs) so we just had 2 months of bank statements and then the 3 tenancy agreements for the last 3 years so we'll do the admin review for £80 first and re-submit all the documents. Then, we'll go the legal route if they reject that. I'm disappointed they didn't reach out to ask for more docs before rejecting.BMDNLUK wrote: ↑Fri Dec 03, 2021 12:00 pmIt’s unfortunate about his rejection considering the evidence for three years at hand which evidence I find very convincing to rule out a partnership of convenience.
Now,before any decision is taken…believe me about 5 people probably come to the same conclusion to reject an application internally,meaning they are sure of their grounds.
My advice to you would be: Pay less than £100 for consultation with an immigration lawyer…explain the evidence you have etc and if he assures you chances of success,give him instructions to fight the appeal…that’s about less than £1000 which is good value if your partner is granted settled or pre settled . Please consult a lawyer ASAP except if there is a legal professional on the forum who can provide pro-bono advice or someone with exact situation like yours who got rejected,re-applied and won for case study purposes. Otherwise,I hope this don’t become a long protracted legal battle for your partner!
