Application Type : FLR(M) extension, standard service
Date application submitted : 17/5/2021
Documents uploaded & submitted via UKVCAS: 01/07/2021
Biometrics on: 05/07/2021

Decision of Application: 08/07/2021
BRP Card Received : On the Way :arrow:

Just received Email for approval. My case history is a bit complicated, however the decision was lighting fast. A bit of advantage that my wife also qualified as mother of 3 british citizen children, but we applied as sponsor route which was recommended by UKVI.
Visa Granted Feb 2024. Good luck to all.

Acknowledgement Received with delay information: 13/02/2021

Nightmare, 13 weeks no information on when decision expected, contacted UKVI by e-mail but reply just said no information on individual cases, just have to wait. Existing BRP expired so can't prove legal residence and can't do international travel. With Covid not a problem to date but will be in May.

Finally received after five and a half months !!!

It's almost a year now since I applied my visa but still waiting the decision. Contacted MP in May and they said I can reach out to them if I didn't receive any updates from HO until end of July. I guess I need to contact them again soon. It's frustrating...
