Hi all,

I have just found this forum and amazed how helpful this could be.

I have also applied for FLR(FP) just over 8 months now and I have received the same standard message from HO.

Application made in October 2017

Biometrics provided November 2017

Received an acknowledgement letter from home office stating that my case falls outside standard time and a decision would be reached asap. Its been over 8 months now and nothing.

Just this week I phoned them up and they said someone would email me only to find that the email is also a standard message and I was very disappointed.

After providing biometrics I have not received any ID card. Was I supposed to receive one?

As for the time being, we have no documents at all. We are not allowed to work, don't have any sort of benefit obviously..

It's difficult to keep up hoping that we will have an outcome anytime soon.

Someone mentioned contacting my local MP but not sure if that would bring any problem to my case.

Can anyone help at all?

Many thanks

Hi everyone

I applied for a FLR fp for my wife. We have british son who is 14 months old and I am a british citizen. The reason I applied for FLR fp is because I just finished university and was working part time so I didn’t meet the financial requirement. I applied for my wife in November postal application and she also enrolled her biometrics then. We then got the standard letter that says it’s complex etc. I emailed them a few times and also rang the 0300 number but they say my case been escalated since my mother in law is sick. But unfortunately they keep in replying saying your application has not been completed. I went to see my mp yesterday and he said he will send them a urgent letter. Let’s see what happens now. I’m probably going to have to cancel my wife’s and sons flight tickets since we are meant to go in the first week of July. Feel very gutted 😞 but hopefully hear something soon. Sorry for the long paragraph but this forum has helped me a lot so I thought il share my journey so far. Everyone pray for me please 🙏👍🏾

Thanks Bathanza
I applied for FLR fp for my wife . Me and my son are british citizens
From my own experience if you have waited for more than 6 months then it’s best to contact them continuously. Il post below my full timeline so it can help my fellow people hopefully.

Applied 23 November 2017
Biometrics enrolled 27 November 2017
Rang 0300 number on 27th may 2018.
They emailed me on 28th May saying’application still not completed’
I rang them again the week around 5/6th June. The advisor wasn’t really bothered and they actually said I have to wait 1 whole month for another update.
I rang the following week telling them my mother in law is ill back home and also send a letter to the Sheffield P.O. box. Didn’t receive any acknowledgment about the letter.
On the 15th June eid day I emailed them by selecting the option applied outside the uk but in the email I explained that I need to travel in July etc. It cost me £5.48 for the email.
Again they replied the same generic thing saying application not been completed. I rang them a couple days later on the outside the uk line which cost 1.31per min. To be honest That advisor was helpful and he said he will escalate the case again but unfortunately the following day I got the same reply ‘app not completed ‘!! I was very gutted to see that but on the 20th of June I went to see my Mp. Now tbh my mp said he would send HO a letter but today I received the visa and it is dated 20/6/18 so Im assuming the MP had no input. Nevertheless my wife has received her visa and now I can take her abroad to see her Unwell mother. JUST WAITING FOR MY BRP HOPEFULLY IT DONT TAKE LONG.

Also if anyone wants any general advice feel free to ask Bcos this forum helped me a lot and I am more than happy to help others

Kind regards
Tanvir

Well I am not expert better you take proper advise from good legal firm but only I know you should make an appeal immediately because you are in risk being detained. You can make late appeal on special circumstances I believe you are covered in special circumstances because you received post late and Royal Mail do many mistake. So appeal immediately and court will accept it . Good luck I applied same times yours and I was refused in May 18 and appealed and received the hearing date with in 2 month after appealing.

URGENT HELP PLEASE!!!
Hello, please I need urgent advise, I applied for leave to remain on flr fp route may 2017, after some many chase up I got an email with tracking number that a parcel was sent to me, my solicitor and I did not receive anything from HO, however I went to post office to complain and I was told that it as been sent back to Sheffield.
