Super priority service 3rd extension Flr fp parent route
I attended biometric appointment on 22/07/22
I received decision this morning 0930am 25/07/22
Approved and permitted to work, study, benefit.
I would say it’s worth applying using super priority service if you want fast response and have no unspent criminal record.

How was yours so long, isn’t the wait time roughly 11 months?
i don't know why... i would assume i applied at the height of the covid pandemic... escalated a couple of time by my self mid last year and once by MP.... but i did escalate early June and a respond came through.

That’s a long time of waiting, why was it so delayed?

yes i did contact home office to escate it right about the 5 month mark thats june 2021...and after wards sent an email...and also got the MP to escalate but i got the same regular respond...
but i sent an email escalation recently at june 2022..stating i have been waiting for 17 months...and got a respond july 13
i believe because i applied at the height of covid played a role...

I applied in May and attended a biometric appointment in June. However. When I paid for my application, I couldn't find the super-priority option. How did you use this option to apply?

Further to my application submitted yesterday, 10 September 2021, for a Further leave to remain on the basis of family and private life in the UK.
I am writing to request if my application can be considered to a 5 years route as I do meet the requirements of a 5 years Family life.
The Following documents has been attached into my application.

3- TENANCY AGREEMENT
4- PAY SLIPS
5- BANK STATEMENTS
6- SCHOOL LETTER
7- LETTER FROM MY CHILD’S MOTHER
8- 2 CHARACTER REFERENCES
9- GP LETTER
10- MY CHILD’S MOTHER UTILITY BILLS
11- ENGLISH CERTIFICATE
I Live in a shared apartment inclusive of all bills, hence why I am unable to provide a separate utility bills for myself.
I hope producing this letter will help you in assessing my application and I am extremely excited to hear from you soon about my application.
Many thanks in advance for your time and consideration of this application.


Good luck with your application, In Hindsight i should have paid the £800 for a quicker decision.

Thanks

Thank you so much for your reply mate.

Is it the same as we applied FLR FP for the first application ?

Should we send all documents which we sent with the first application or just Financial Requirements and English language proof?

Thanks, mate

It's an extension so all documents dated within 6 months plus the financial and english since you are looking to switch. Employment Letter should be dated within a month.

You get a checklist of documents to support your application anyway after submitting your application.

Good luck!

Hello Guys,

This is timeline on my 1st extension FLR (FP)

Application date : 27/04/22 ( i filled the form by myself, Thanks to this forum) Super Priority Service.

Hi,

I have a question as I am switching FLR FP 10 years to FLR FP 5 Years route

I am a Permanent salaried employee of the NHS £ 224400 p/year

1. Job starts on 10 Jan 2022
2. In March I went back home as an emergency for 3 weeks 2 weeks paid and 1 week Unpaid, NHS paid me 676 in my bank account, and pays shows £0 for the month of March and they adjust this amount in the Month of April Payslp.

The last six months' earnings are £10300 with £0 earning on the month of march.

Do I meet financial requirements?


Thanks

Hi,
Just wanted to ask, when you switched to 5 year parent route, will your previous 2.5 years on 10 year route count towards your current 5 years on parent route? Or would you start the 5 years afresh and complete the 5 years?

Thanks

It won't be counted toward the 5 years .which means you lost 2.5 years .. which will make it 7.5 years in total
