HO are processing applications for FLRFPs for May/June at the moment. It's first come first served so still waiting. We submitted in August and biometrics in Nov 2016.

Expect another 4-6 week wait. It's really nerve wracking to wait, I have a plan in place in the scenario of a rejection: Go premium and ensure whatever rejection there is, ensure that it's fulfilled. Hope everyone else will continue to update the timeline so we can track what is going on.

I'm not sure if it's going to help... I went to the reporting centre today and found out that my application is being processed [FLR(FP) as a partner]. I sent it on the 21st of December.

Thanks! The problem for me is my husband is currently an overstayer due to a combination of errors made by our past solicitor. A reporting centre, with our nearest being hundreds of miles away in Liverpool isn't really an option for us due to the risk of detention. :( Thanks for the update though, hopefully your application gets somewhere and quickly :)

Thanks for the great advice.
No, It's a 7 year child concession case, we applied in 2015 when my child spent 7 years here after a failed asylum case earlier which took our right to work here. This makes it even harder for us to wait.

Oh...sorry to hear that. Are you currently overstaying then?

Although it really isn't ideal with all this waiting, and it really is ridiculous that it's legal for the HO to keep people waiting as long as you have been, it really is just a case of wait and see what happens with your case.

I'd say though, as before, if you send another reminder to them and you don't hear back within 2-4 weeks then you should speak to you solicitor about the possibility of going down the Judicial Review route, although bear in mind it will be expensive and there's a good chance you'll be shot down at the first hurdle.

Yes, unfortunately. We have asked our solicitor to send an other reminder, let's see what happens. We are keeping JR as a last resort, hopefully it wont come to that. Thanks for your advice and I hope your husband's papers get sorted soon.

Hello there. That's really good news that you have been contacted. This is a usual formality so they can formulate a decision. If you check the timeline thread, most people get a decision within 10 days of posting the additional documents. Keeping fingers crossed for us all. Best of luck to you

I know it doesn't help but you really need to just wait. Try to make the best of your situation and take your mind to focusing on the things you do have. All any of us can do throughout these ridiculously difficult HO processes is focus on the good things that we have and not allow them to bring our mood down.

Dylan :)

We all just need to hope that the HO will accept our applications. Especially because you have a child with your partner, you need to focus on spending quality time with them instead of worrying about the HO.

A quote from the Tao de Jing applies perfectly to this situation, it reads:

“Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.” - Lao Tzu

Hi guys. 9 months and 2 weeks still waiting. A strongly worded letter to chase has been sent by the solicitor. It's becoming furthermore ridiculous as the wait time in 2 weeks will mark 10 months! But keeping positive. I hope everyone is sitting tight.

Husband's timeline - overstayer 11 yrs
08/16 - FLR (FP) Partner, refused 02/18, 03/18 - JR permission refused with merit
08/18 - FLR FP (Partner) PSC - Approved
07/20 - FLR FP to FLR M Switch - Approved, 03/23 FLR M Ext Approved.

The wait is mental torture . I also submitted my FLR fp application since August 2016 and yet to get any response from the HO, about almost 10 months now. However I was able to track the status of my application using my ref number or case no on thelink below;

https://contact-ukvi.homeoffice.gov.uk/ ... visastatus

where it said my application was awaiting a decision. Not sure if anyone is aware of the above home office link. At least it made me know what's going on. You should check you application status there if your not aware of it.

It's well with all of us

I applied August 31st of last year and the application status was updated on April 21st too, to say "Awaiting Decision".

Have you tried calling the HO? I know they usually provide no information whatsoever, I'm on hold at the moment waiting to ask them for an update...

That's exactly what the website told me...

The tracking website said "Awaiting Decision. Your application has been considered and is awaiting a decision" date April 21st.

I called them earlier today and they emailed my husband with a reply very quickly.

In the email they said that they would not provide us with an update and that we need to wait until they have made a decision on our application.

I am planning to contact my local MP tomorrow, because we have been waiting for almost 10 months now...
