dr.me · Post by **dr.me** » Wed Jul 08, 2015 11:16 am

good day member of the forum pls i need help or advise,i received a refusal letter yersterday and i was told we(my wife and 1.6yr old child) should go home b4 we could appeal the case base on the fact that it has been certified.
the fact of the matter was that i received a curtailment letter and could not find any institution that was ready to take me. b4 the deadline of my curtailment,we sent our application. my two previous institution has closed down as they(colleges) told me that i am a high risk student despite the fact that the home office gave me 60 days letter.this led me to apply for flro .i have not seen any case like this when u have to go to ur home country and appeal.my my wife and i are both from the same country. i have no money to buy ticket or to feed them over there if we decides to leave as she only got a job here and we have no means to survive there.i have also leave 6yrs in the uk.
any constructive advise will be welcome thanks

"Thanks to the conservative party" whoeverwhoever applies from April 2015 and gets refused has to appeal from their home country. Hope this helps

pls i just want to a ask you a question did home office sent you any letter after the all appeal exhausted?

Hello,

Sorry for the late reply, but no the HO didn't send us anything after all appeals were exhausted, so we applied for Judicial Review.

Thanks,

@Lola24...what kind of advice do you need? You probably have to state what your concerns are. It's most likely why you haven't got a response yet..

Lola24 · Post by **Lola24** » Thu Jul 09, 2015 1:14 pm

@tuga, Thanks for the reply.my concern is that my lawyer said i will get the decision within 2 month after the biometric and is getting to 3 month by next week.

I don't think you should be worried...if it's not a straight forward application 3months is not really a long time. Each case is different and it will depend on the kind of documents and nature of your application...you will find that most applications fall within this time length and can be stretched to 6months or even more.

I don't think you should be worried, if not you can call and check the progress of your application; but I can guarantee you will get a copy and paste response from the operator.
Hope this helps.

Hi Guys I am new here so not sure if I am on the right topic.

I am an overstayer and need some advice.

My mum is French but I am an non EEA national but does not work in the UK as she is clinically blind. So she relies on me fully.

My partner is non EEA but has a British child so she has DLR.

What kind of application can I make?

And if we get married will this help my case?

TIA

Hi I am a silent reader on this forum and need some information about flr fp on family route. My husband was granted a visa for on parent of a British child and british partner
Back in November 2014.

But we recieved the letter from ukba saying he needs to aatend the interview for the purpose of assessing wether any of the grounds of curtailment apply and they put some rules after.
My question is has someone else receive any kind of this letter after been granted visa.

I know they have changed some rules this year April but not sure why they want to interview.
Any information will be appreciated.
Many thanks

Applications are taking longer time this day. They are sending an email that your application was being considered so be patient in fact you can receive up to 5 of those as seen on google doc timeline for settlement applicants only as an example.

Click on Set LR and on the right-hand screen, you will see comment of different applicants.

It is well, so don't worry

Hello good people,

I'm back again with confused letters sent to me by HO 1 hr ago. FYI I've applied for flo fp 1 month ago. I need urgent help please. I've received 3 letters dated 16th of July 2015 & they are sent together in one post.

1. Biometrics letter
2. Letter saying my case raises issues relating to ECHR which are complex in nature & will fall outside normal service standards for decision
3. Request for additional information with in 10 days ( which I really don't understand ). I've mentioned that my passport is with them since 2013 of my visa refusal & they are still asking for it

. In one paragraph it says I must return a rectified payment details ( which I've already sent them correct postal order for £649 ), application form ( which I've filled & sent the correct approved form ) and additional information is original passport.

What should I do guys???? I'm planning to call them & ask why they are asking for this as it's been already explained. They gave me 10 days so please guys your quick advice is needed.

Thank you & Bless you all!

My entrepreneur appeal in the FTT will be heard in second week of August. There are, to be honest, 50 50 chances to win. My kids have been living and studying here for 6 & half years (next month). Would it be a better move if I apply for 7 years child concession route FLR (fp) now on their being 6 & half years stay here ? Because I am more likely to be refused in the appeal any way, but if I apply now on 7 years route by withdrawing my appeal from FTT and putting a new application in the HO, on the same day, if they refuse,

1- would I be given an appeal right?

No appeal right for 2nd application as section 3c only triggers once when u have valid leave and u apply for a visa and leave subsequently expired while application is pending until concluded. 3c start again when u r given appeal right and u put appeal in time. 3c ends when your appeal right exhausts or u withdraw your appeal

2-would my spouse be working as dependant, as he is working now under PSW (HO is giving 6 months work permission until appeals exhausted)

From where u get this 6 months figure? He can work until all appeal rights exhausted or u withdraw appeal. even appeal take 2 years he can work.

3- what percentage chances of success in the end?

7 years means 7 years. Dont withdraw appeal. Let the appeal going until u exhaust all appeal rights and child turns 7. Than add additional ground (Article in your appeal and try your luck.

Only apply flr fp on 7 years child basis when child actually turn 7. Even though HO will refuse u but than u can file JR and greater chance to win the case in court.

If u apply now as u r thinking (child is not 7) Ho will refuse the application and court also refuse as child was not 7 years old when u applied.

Hope u got my point

I would be very grateful for your input.
Thanks

Hi zee all ! Sorry for late response. Thank you so much for your detailed and proper answers to my each question.
I thought that applications, ( like 7 years child concession route) falling under human rights category, are given appeal rights, if refused. But you said, only JR. Many thanks for apprising of.
I was only considering to apply earlier due to overnight new rules by HO. If they abolished this rule first and published later, as they often do now, our last hope would also dash to ground.
Hoping any further input from you, in this regard.
Regards.

Yes now a days if HO certified your claim (Human rights or asylum). u wont get any in country appeal right. Certified means no basis or unfounded claim.

Not easy to change 7 years rule overnight. if u apply early what do u think would u get the visa?

Better to apply after full 7 years.

One of board member here applied for his son 2 weeks before completing 7 years. He is still fighting to get the visa. refused in ftt and now waiting for ut hearing. ftt decision was child was not 7 years when visa applied.

Now choice is yours. we can only advise.

read this guidance could be helpful for u

Hi Guys

I need you guys to shed some light when I apply for my wife's visa extension discretionary leave I know I have to pay an NHS bill which I know is £200 per year so it will be around £400 for her 30 months visa Her visa will run out on July 2017.

I wanted to know what documents do I have to submit this time round

Last time I submitted when I applied for FLR FP

1. Pay slips
2. Tenancy agreements
3. Doctor letters
4. Daughter birth certificate full one
5. Child Tax credit and Child Benefit award letters ( only in my name )
6. My wife's name on house bills
7. Daughters Doctor letters

Can someone tell me what Documnets will I need when I apply next time round for her discretionary leave.

Are they same documents as above I mentioned I will need to provide again or less documents I can provide next time round can someone elaborate and I know it's early to ask this and I know the immigration law changes every time.

I just want to know in advance so I can be prepared and any immigration changes to my wife's visa when I apply I will be up to date on any immgration changes.

hi guys,

I am 17 days short from applying ILR. I have already been advised by some friends here to apply for flr fp and vary the application in 17 days after the payment and bio metrics appointment.

i just have a question that i am unable to understand on flr fp form.

section 5

""Evidence of your finances. Bank statements, building society savings books, payslips or
other formal documents. See Note 9.

Note 9 We do not accept internet or cashpoint statements as evidence of finances. If you claim
that a relative or friend is providing you with financial support (see question 5.5), in addition
to evidence of your own finances, you must provide bank statements or other documents of
the kind described above as evidence of their financial resources. The documents showing
the finances available to you and to any person supporting you should cover at least the last 3
months.""

in above note my understanding is my partner is not my friend or relative or can you please clarifiy if i have mis-understood. i am assuming they are referring to third party support.

i am applying via 10 years private life route, but on the form it states that i should fill everything that is relevant to me and in my case to declare that i have an unmarried partner whom i have been living since February 2015 and she is also supporting me financially. i have more than 6 different pieces of proof of adress,her EU ID card and her 6 months of payslips. is that enough to demosntrate that she is supporting me or is there anything else that i will need to show as because of my current visa status (student)i am unable to work.

@moderators and senior members .. your input is highly appreciated as i have only few days to apply!!

GodGives · Post by **GodGives** » Wed Jul 29, 2015 11:32 pm

You only give payslips and bank statements of your partner. Provided she meets the financial requirement. If she does not then you can add whoever else is supporting you and evidence of their finances. Hope this helps. All the best

You need to submit the same thing, you are trying to provr to them that you still qualify for the same stay, so you submit the same documents, just more recent ones that's all.. Hope this helps...
